A recap of the EURECA Stockholm Workshop

3 April 2017

Last 22 and 23 March, EC Lab (as part of the EURECA project) co-organised a successful workshop in Stockholm, Sweden.

It was a pleasure to be in Stockholm for our 2-day event to exchange questions and knowledge on best practices and the EURECA training workshops. The setting allowed for more in depth discussions during the presentations from our key-notes as well as the training sessions which resulted in several interesting exchanges of individual experiences regarding the topics at hand, be it Government Cloud initiatives, adopting Open Compute technology, formulating a procurement guideline or undergoing the EU Data Center Code of Conduct application as a Public Sector authority.

The presentations of the key-notes are now available online at our Stockholm workshop page here, or for a direct link to any of our specific key-note presentations you can use the links below.

There is much to learn from each other! With the EURECA platform we help to support this in multiple ways by bringing together valuable knowledge and experiences. We are looking forward to a continuation of knowledge exchange with several of the people we met at the workshop.

But of course we invite anyone to reach out to us if you have a specific question, request or wish to provide content to add to the EURECA platform.

For example if,

  • want to collaborate with EURECA for a related meeting or event
  • you are working on a related procurement effort,
  • you are looking for input to develop or update policy,
  • you have a (group) training request (also see Training modules below),
  • have an excellent procurement, solution or policy example to showcase in the EURECA tool,
  • …or any other specific question or input you wish to engage the team on.

In the meantime you can always join our Special Interest Group on Linkedin (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8479187), check out our 9 EURECA training modules (link to include) and start exploring the tool (tool.dceureca.eu).

Following the workshop, Christian Lewenhaupt (VP Business Development at Multigrid), one of the stakeholder who attended the workshop, wrote 2 very interesting articles:
