VINF intends to facilitate communication and motivate the collaboration among players with common interest. With these workshops, VINF fulfils two of its most strategic goals: the integration of people (with memberships and networking) and the participation in research projects. These events are very important to help find potential partners with innovative ideas for new projects.

20 researchers participated to the first edition.

The next edition will be held in Spain during the first 2010 trimester.
Following this event, Liège Space Center decided to join VINF.
