IPCEI CIS General Assembly & 8ra Open Conference
The E2CC project is participating in the 8ra Annual Summit 2026, which will take place on 19–20 March in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The Summit is the IPCEI‑CIS community's key annual meeting, bringing together partners, policymakers and stakeholders from across Europe to discuss progress, governance and strategic priorities for the continent’s sovereign cloud and edge infrastructure. Patrice Calegari, Patrice Bleuze and François Exertier will represent E2CC at the two-day event on behalf of the coordinating partner, Eviden.
The first day will be dedicated to the IPCEI‑CIS General Assembly, an invitation‑only session in which representatives of all participating member states and project partners will review developments and prepare the next steps for the initiative.
On the second day, during the 8ra Open Conference, Patrice Calegari will present E2CC in the session dedicated to direct partners’ projects, highlighting the project’s contribution to Europe’s emerging multi‑provider cloud‑edge continuum.
Meanwhile, Patrice Bleuze will participate in the Cross Workstream on Security, one of the core collaborative groups within IPCEI‑CIS, where he contributes actively to shaping the security foundations of next‑generation European cloud infrastructure.
More details will follow after the event.
