In order to provide new impetus for the future collaboration within the European eCall community, the EU project X_HeERO is hosting its second webinar:

X_HeERO Webinar #2: Future eCall Collaboration
Wednesdays, 8 October 2025, 15:00 – 16:00 MESZ
Online via Teams
Registration: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/af81728e-49bf-42d7-8b7a-967fa0031b19@e91b8a92-a4e8-4cd8-ad67-763902c9d9e6

In the past, the European eCall Implementation Platform (EeIP) brought together relevant stakeholders and the European Commission to discuss progress, problems, and solutions for the technical and organisational development of eCall. The concept of an eCall Association has been developed to install a stable platform for future eCall cooperation.
The webinar will provide an overview on the status of reactivation and coordination to bring interest groups together and discuss options for sustainable eCall development. X_HeERO invites all organisations and possible stakeholders who are interested to be part of a future eCall community to participate.
Participation is free of charge. The webinar language is English.
