Programmes Digital, Industry & Space AI, data & cloud Deployment: Best use of technologiesThe OpenVerse project aims at integrating knowledge, experts and actors around the creation of inclusive, open and ethically responsible European Virtual Worlds. This is done in alignment with the European Commission’s strategy on Web 4.0 and Virtual Worlds.
As part its work, OpenVerse is conducting a landscaping exercise of initiatives that promote the uptake of Virtual Worlds technologies in each EU Member State.
