The kick-off meeting was held on 29th and 30th October 2012 in Bologna, Italy. Lepida SpA was organizing SECOVIA project meeting, with participants from the partner consortium. It was the first event of the SECOVIA project. All partners presented their regions and expectations in relation to SECOVIA to know each other and a general overview about the project activities was provided. The meeting was focused on the technical work to be carried out within each project component. The main issue was the importance of cloud computing services and concrete and sustainable models highlighting a clear aspect, i.e. the public/private partnership nature of them. The partnership composition and the transnational collaboration within SECOVIA are a great occasion to carry out specific analysis and better define suitable models and sustainability issues for the South East Europe (SEE).
