EUINCOOP Advisory Committee

EUINCOOP is a Strategic Project which intends to take a ‘consensus building approach’ by bringing together researchers and stakeholders from both regions under a common forum for discussing and analysing research agendas in computing systems. Through the sequence of structured workshops, channels of communication will be established between the provider constituency, and the research community. In order to

  • Bring together the European and the Indian computing system community
  • Identification of the major challenges faced in the field of computing systems
  • Creation of a research roadmaps in computing systems using the input of the European and Indian policies resources and needs

This will be accomplished by convening a group of elite researchers and industry stakeholders from both regions in a common platform called the "EUINCOOP Advisory Committee".

The "EUINCOOP Advisory Committee" is a platform/Forum created by the EUINCOOP project within the span of the project, which will convene elite researchers and industry stakeholders from both the regions. The advisory Committee will concretize the research priority areas, the gaps and overlaps between the two regions and also will guide the technical, policy and kind of funding mechanisms for future collaborative projects.

"EUINCOOP Advisory Committee" consists of 9 experts, 5 experts from India and 4 from EU. A good blend of academia and industry was maintained while selecting the experts.
