The NOUS project, led by the AIR Institute, organizes a comprehensive international online conference on March 2, 2026, centering on the evolution of IaaS and PaaS solutions within the European cloud landscape. As a flagship initiative under the Horizon Europe program, NOUS is dedicated to architecting a next-generation infrastructure that fluidly integrates edge computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), and quantum resources.
This project is a vital pillar for Europe’s digital sovereignty, offering an open-source framework that ensures data privacy and interoperability with major initiatives such as Gaia-X, FIWARE, and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).
The conference serves as a multidisciplinary platform where researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders can examine the technical and regulatory shifts required to build a secure, federated cloud ecosystem. Participants will dive into a broad spectrum of cutting-edge topics.
In keeping with the project’s commitment to open science, the conference is entirely free of charge and hosted online to ensure global accessibility. This event offers a unique opportunity for the innovation community to collaborate on the standards and technologies that will define a sovereign and resilient digital future for Europe.
