• Information stands which cover general and horizontal topics of the Work Programme 2016-17;
• A European Commission ICT information desk to supply information on the content and logistics of the event;
• Booths, organised by village, where European Commission officials provide information on the topics of the Work Programme 2016-17 and which serve also as meeting points for proposers interested in the same research and innovation topics;
