Workshops on New Collaborative Working Environments 2020

As a consequence of the 5^th Experts Group meeting, the experts decided to organise a 3 days workshop in order to explain the work of the group to the broad community and to have a deep discussion on the three building blocks identified by the Experts Group. The workshops will be held on 10-12 October 2006 in Brussels.

European Commission Secretariat General approved the creation of this experts group under "Code E01720 Experts Group on Collaborative Working Environments for Business and Industry" in January 2006.

The workshops are primarily organised by the experts. EC officers responsible for the experts group will give the secretarial support needed to ensure a broad and open dissemination of the Experts Group ideas.

The workshops will focus on a different theme for each day:

date	event
10 October 2006	New methods and concepts for New ways of working Collaborative virtual and augmented Working Environments (CWEs) Venue: OLAF building; Rue Joseph II, 30; 1000 Brussels (Metro station Arts-Loi)
11 October 2006	Reference models/architectures and patterns for CWEs Venue: OLAF building; Rue Joseph II, 30; 1000 Brussels (Metro station Arts-Loi)
12 October 2006	Collaborative infrastructures and tools for human-centric collaboration Venue: DG INFSO building, Rue Joseph II, 54; 1000 Brussels (Metro station Arts-Loi)

Around 100 people are expected for each on the workshops (300 in total). Expected participants are those already participating in our FP6 projects and new constituency looking ahead.

A more precise definition of the RTD challenges, building blocks and the emerging collaborative paradigms as envisioned for the CWEs of 2020 can be found in the output document of the WG meeting 30-31 May 2006, entitled “Future and Emerging Technologies and Paradigms for Collaborative Working Environments”(.pdf, 167 KB).
