EURO-3C partners meet in Eurescom, Heidelberg to open discussion and lead the work on designing a pan-European 3CN for Telco-Edge-Cloud deployments
From 3 to 5 November 2026, Eurescom hosts EURO-3C partners in Heidelberg for the project’s first face-to-face Technological Board meeting and working sessions with editors of the first Work Package (WP) focusing on “Design a pan-European 3CN for Telco-Edge-Cloud deployments”. The three-day gathering brings partners together to align the technical vision, discuss requirements and advance the +10 deliverables due by the end of the year.
Building a shared infrastructure across Europe starts with building a shared understanding. In Heidelberg, EURO-3C partners are taking time to connect their expertise, compare perspectives and work through the technical questions that will shape the project’s development.
The meeting combines discussions within the Technological Board with dedicated work on WP1, which focuses on designing a pan-European 3CN for Telco-Cloud-Edge deployments. It provides an opportunity to connect the project’s overall ambitions with the requirements, architecture and federation work needed to put them into practice.
From a shared vision to technical discussions
The opening half-day began with a high-level recap of what EURO-3C aims to achieve, providing a common starting point for the discussions that followed.
Partners then moved into smaller groups, using Post-it notes and visual boards to collect and organise their ideas. This hands-on format helped participants share different perspectives and explore how their contributions fit into the wider project.
Discussions continued at several levels throughout the afternoon, combining the broader technical vision with more focused exchanges on requirements and design. For a project bringing together more than 80 organisations, these face-to-face conversations offer valuable space to ask questions, clarify expectations and develop a common direction.
