OPTICITIES STAKEHOLDER FORUM
The OPTICITIES Stakeholder Forum will gather both stakeholders from the ITS community and local authorities and will ensure a durable link between them and the OPTICITIES project. The aim of this stakeholder forum is to foster support and enable deployment of project OPTICITIES outputs on a European scale and giving feedback about the progress and outcomes of the OPTICITIES Project. Stakeholders will be informed and engaged on an ad hoc basis via a combination of online exchange and physical meetings. Physical meetings will take place back to back with other major events in the ITS calendar.
