The 7th e-Infrastructure Concertation Meeting in Brussels, 12-14th October 2009, brought together over 150 key players of the e-Infrastructures' community. The event was attended by Frank Bisby, Thierry Bourgoin from MNHN and Peter Schalk from ETI. Each project gave a 5 minutes presentation, and opportunities for networking followed. This was an important event to help join up different e-Science projects to firm the foundations of the e-Infrastructures Community.
