  The Working Group on Leading Edge Applications will have its 3rd Workshop and 3rd Meeting, right before and after the General Assembly, in Stockholm, i.e., Oct. 15th and Oct. 17th, respectively. This 3rd Workshop intends to continue the trend of the previous ones, that is to say, to have speakers from application areas, addressing the topics from their viewpoint, and contributing to have a global perspective on services and applications, beyond the pure engineering approach. The workshop will focus on Health & Inclusion, Transport, Environment, and Future Internet. At the 3rd Meeting, the status of the SAA (Strategic Application Agenda) will be discussed, as well, as further contributions towards the final draft of this document. Additionally, links with other entities outside eMobility will be addressed as well, not only at the level of providing contributions, but, also concerning expert group participation.
