Hybrid event
The first annual event for the Advanced Virtual Human Twins (VHT) Platform will provide an opportunity to take stock of progress and shape the platform based on real user needs and structured community feedback.
The event is organised by the EC Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) with the support of the VHTnet consortium.
Over the course of the two days, participants will discuss how to strengthen usability, adoption, interoperability and trust in the emerging VHT platform.
The two-day draft agenda is available here.
