CELTIC-NEXT Event 2017 took place on 18-19 May 2017 in Barcelona, Spain.
The event included a session on innovative project ideas, where experts from the ICT community discussed emerging R&D needs and new project proposals for related collaborative projects had been presented. This was an extraordinary opportunity for participants to present their companies and expertise, to offer project ideas for collaboration and to find partners.
Results of about 15 commercially important CELTIC-NEXT projects had been presented in presentations and at the related exhibition. The prototypes evolving from these projects allowed the visitor to experience in an interactive and playful way the technological progress made in those projects. The project-teams explained and demonstrated the exhibition visitors their research results.
Experts and representatives from national governments explained their research agendas and the opportunities for public funding. This was a good opportunity to discuss about potential participation in the sizzling European ICT arena with funding representatives from national governments.
On 19 May 2017, five CELTIC-NEXT projects were awarded for their outstanding work. Three projects received the CELTIC-NEXT Excellence Award (SIGMONA, NOTTS and H2B2VS) and two projects the CELTIC-NEXT Innovation Award (COMOSEF and SASER) . The awards were presented to the winners by CELTIC-NEXT chairman Jacques Magen and the national public authorities of the corresponding coordinating country.
