Donegal Digital published a news about the forthcoming Erudite meeting on 17 and 18 October turning on how best to connect Digital Hubs and Innovation Centres across Europe. It will feature representatives from Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Slovenia and Sweden as well as experts from the European Commission DG AGRI. The hearing from experts, about the Digital Innovation Hubs of the Donegal region as well as ones in whole Europe, ranging from business-oriented privately-owned initiatives (Ludgate), to university-led like the Maker labs network in Slovenia or socially oriented like the Lab Altobello in Venice (Italy), will be completed by field trips. These will be visits to top class innovation centres in the north west including the CoLab in Letterkenny and Áislann in Ghaoth Dobhair as well as the Catalyst Innovation Centre, C-TRIC, Eighty81 Hub and the Nerve Centre in Derry. The event will also allow those attending to explore the vision for a Peripheral Digital Innovation Hubs Network that would work with other main Innovation Centres of Competence.
