5G-EPICENTRE actively supported and participated in the 5G Innovations for Verticals Workshop, organized by the 5GASP Project. The event was held in Athens, Greece, on March 14th. 

The 5G Innovations for Verticals Workshop, the final public event of 5GASP, was a collaborative effort that saw participation not only from 5GASP partners but also from partners of other ICT-41 projects such as 5G-EPICENTRE, 5G-IANA, Smart5Grid, and special external guests from Greece. The workshop provided a platform for all ICT-41 projects to approach the achievements of the 5GASP project and other ICT-41 projects. Each project showcased its technological progress, assessed the results, and discussed the main challenges related to the integration and deployment of novel solutions of 5GASP to the community through standardization of software components and Open-Source Software contributions.

More specifically, NOVA, as a partner of the 5G-EPICENTRE, was also present at the event to present the 5G-EPICENTRE project, the innovative Use Cases implemented and deployed, as well as the results from the ICT-41 Plugtests performed in Aveiro in the past November. Special emphasis was given to deploying the FIDEGAD/5G-EPICENTRE demo included in the ICT-41 Plugfest, co-organized by 5GASP and 5G-EPICENTRE projects. The demo results were presented, along with the deployment challenges and lessons learned. In this workshop, 5GASP partners and other ICT-41 projects (5G-IANA, 5G-EPICENTRE, Smart5Grid) approached the achievements of the ICT-41 projects accordingly, to show and highlight the technological progress made by the projects, assess and discuss the integration of projects and the novel solutions of 5GASP to the community through standardization of software components and Open Source Software contributions.
