Bridging Innovation & Market Adoption: Deep Dive on the CISERO Roadmap and Hints from the Open Source Guideline

CISERO WEBINAR
CISERO Roadmap webinar

How can IPCEI-CIS projects move from strong R&D results to real market leadership? This webinar brings together the CISERO Sustainability Roadmap and hints from CISERO's Open Source Guideline to give IPCEI-CIS project teams practical, actionable insight into what the European market actually needs — and how open source can accelerate the journey there.

Rather than a one-way presentation, the session blends strategic keynotes with live polls, a shared digital whiteboard, and breakout discussions, so participants can react to the roadmap's findings in real time and help shape its next iteration.

Why attend

  • Get market-ready insights. Learn where European demand is heading — from edge AI and sovereignty-by-design to critical skills gaps — and see how these translate into concrete opportunities for your project.
  • Discover open source as an accelerator. Explore high-level guidance from CISERO's Open Source Guideline on licensing, contribution workflows, and community governance to reduce fragmentation and reuse EU-funded IP.
  • Shape the next roadmap. Contribute directly to the wishlist for future roadmap iterations through live polls and interactive breakout discussions.
  • Benchmark your project. Take away a self-assessment checklist to see how your project aligns with the roadmap's recommendations.

Who should attend

Primary audience: IPCEI-CIS project leads, technical managers, and exploitation/work package coordinators.

Also relevant for: EU policymakers, industry consortia (e.g. GAIA-X), and open-source community representatives.

What you'll take away

  • A clear view of how the CISERO Roadmap translates EU policy ambitions — digital sovereignty, sustainability — into concrete market strategies for IPCEI-CIS projects.
  • Demand-side insights on skills gaps, sovereignty-by-design, and edge AI to help prioritise use cases with the highest adoption potential.
  • Practical hints from the Open Source Guideline to speed up collaboration and cut through fragmentation across projects.
