Recap: Brussels event “Virtual Worlds and Web 4.0 initiative, related research and innovation topics, future priorities”

by Uncategorized

Last week in Brussels

“The Virtual Worlds and Web 4.0 initiative, related research and innovation topics and future priorities” brought together key players in the field to discuss the future of this exciting domain on the 11th February, 2025.

The event saw active participation from a diverse range of projects, all part of a cluster of XR–related projects financed under H2020 and Horizon Europe.

A day of restricted, but also public sessions in the realm of XR

Firstly, the morning session focused on internal discussions among project representatives, providing a platform to delve into the core aspects of the Virtual Worlds and Web 4.0 initiative. Participants explored related research and innovation topics, such as Research strengths and weaknesses in EU and Research gaps, and collaboratively outlined future priorities for the field. 

Then, the afternoon session broadened its scope (welcoming members of the VUAS VRAR Industrial Coalition as observers). Attendees gained valuable insights into the goals and achievements of the various participating projects and clusters through presentations, followed by engaging panel discussions. These panels facilitated a rich exchange of ideas concerning research priorities, potential synergies, and opportunities for collaboration.

The meeting fostered a dynamic environment for knowledge sharing and strategic planning, setting the stage for continued progress in the realm of Virtual Worlds and Web 4.0. It was a productive week for all involved!
