During the event  we covered:
a) A brief reminder of the BroadMap and SpiceNet were given

b) An open discussion took place for each of the 11 objectives of the The BroadWay Ambition:
— Is the objective clear? Is there anything missing?
— Do solutions exist for these objectives?
— Which aspects require innovation?

The event was organised and chaired by David Lund, Sanja Holen and Marie-Christine Bonnamour from the BroadWay coordination team (PSCE).
