    Booths will be at your disposal to present the ICT-related topics of the Work Programme 2018-20 and the content of the next calls for proposals, and will serve as meeting points to facilitate interactions between people interested in the same research topics. A European Commission information desk will supply general information on the content and logistics of the event.
