“A set of guidelines and best practices shall be published at the EuroDIG website [1]. These guidelines should be developed together with existing European IG initiatives, taking into account the existing particularities and the flexibility needed in each country. These guidelines will mainly serve to help new initiatives to develop.”
The main aim of this workshop is to bring together European IG(F) coordinators/representatives and discuss what is the DNA of european n/r (national/regional) IG(F) initiatives and how can we strengthen the European IG ecosystem and enhance collaboration&communication between national and regional IG(F)s.
