EIF Special Event on Cloud Computing

Conference followed by Cocktail & Dinner Reception

brouchure

“The cloud” is changing the way the world uses digital tools and technologies.

As the EU system moves toward a more formal and focused assessment of the policy implications of “cloud” computing, this special EIF event under the chairmanship of EIF political members features workshops bearing directly on three core cloud policy themes: interoperability including data portability, security and data privacy, and public sector and cloud computing. Each will offer EIF guest panellists and participating members the opportunity to share views and experience, followed by a round table during which Workshop chairs will report to Commission Vice-President Neelie Kroes on conclusions and recommendations.
