Developing human-centric Virtual Worlds in Europe: National and regional best practices – An OPENVERSE Workshop

Virtual Worlds represent a transformative domain with vast potential to revolutionize how people interact, learn, work, and innovate. Across Europe, national initiatives have emerged to drive the development and adoption of Virtual World technologies. However, the landscape remains fragmented, and greater collaboration and community-building efforts are needed to amplify the collective impact of these initiatives.

This workshop – held as an on-invitation only event – aims to address this need by fostering dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing among key stakeholders from various national and regional initiatives. By learning from existing experiences and collectively shaping the path forward, the workshop seeks to create a strong foundation for the development of human-centric Virtual Worlds across Europe.
