NESSI is organising its first NESSI Projects Summit in Valencia, on the Monday 12^th and Tuesday 13^th of April 2010. This 2 day event is hosted in Valencia  during the EU Spanish Presidency week organised on the European RTD Programmes, under the title “From Economic recovery to sustainability”, and will be followed by the FIA Valencia conference.   

Open to all, this event focuses exclusively on the results from the NESSI Strategic (NSP) and Compliant (NCP) Projects and the role of NEXOF in providing a framework enabling all these results to be integrated coherently.  With the first patterns emerging from the NSPs, this event will provide a unique opportunity to

• get a complete picture of the coordination mechanism implemented by NEXOF
• go in-depth into the results provided by each NSP (including MASTER)
• acquire a global overview of the on-going and upcoming work 

On Monday 12th April, the full-day plenary session will be dedicated providing a complete and in-depth view of the on-going and upcoming results presented in each specific working area, as well as future directions we are proposing. MASTER will represent the area of security. 

On Tuesday 13th April, parallel sessions will enable more in-depth, interactive exchanges and demonstrations on the specific results of the NESSI Strategic and Compliant Projects as well as S-Cube, the Network of Excellence dedicated to Services and its upcoming Virtual Campus.  Within the track dedicated to the security common workshop of MASTER and COMPAS on compliance management will take place.  

A National Initiatives Track and a SMEs workshop are also included.  In parallel, the NESSI exhibition space will host specific stands for each NSP and some NCPs. A NESSI stand will also provide the complete information on the research organisation, recent developments , the membership rules and answer any questions you may have. 

The event is located at the Palacio de Congresos de Valencia, in Valencia, Spain. For further info please visit the NESSI Projects Summit webpage.
