D2.1 Cross-fertilization workshop report – v1

This deliverable constitutes the first result produced by task T2.1 - Cross-fertilization Workshops organisation, in the context of the SwForum.eu project. The main objective of the task is to organize and deliver three workshops involving stakeholders from both academia, industry and the public sector, representing different domains and application sectors. The workshops are important events to facilitate synergy-ignition among R&D EC funded projects as well as a dissemination opportunity. Within the context of the initial 10 months of the project, taking advantage of the new way of holding meetings in the COVID era, we have modified our objectives and run two workshops instead of one. This has allowed us to reach our stakeholders early on (the first workshop being held in February). Moreover, it has allowed us to test two different approaches, one based on the invitation of well-known keynote speakers and the other approach more oriented to facilitate the discussion among participants
