The month of May has come and gone but luckily there are plenty of things to highlight in this Marketing Round-up. As FIWARE Foundation, as well as the whole FIWARE Community, continue to transition its activities further to digital, we see more and more exciting opportunities arise, projects pop up and news being shared. COVID-19 is, no doubt, still a big topic on everyone's mind, and this is reflected in some of our content. Nonetheless, as we remain positive and hopeful that this too shall pass, we are laser-focused on all the great things that innovation can achieve: from new members and strategic collaborations, iHubs, and Impact Stories to exciting webinars and Open Calls, as well as funding opportunities. *FIWARE HOSTS iHUB WEBINAR* On *June 10 from 15:00-16:00* (CEST) FIWARE will be hosting its very first FIWARE iHubs webinar in cooperation with FIWARE Zone (Spain), FIWARE Innova iHub (Italy) and Instituto Ciudades del Futuro (Argentina) who will share first-hand experiences. This webinar will describe the innovation culture offered by FIWARE iHubs, what the benefits are, and how and why organizations should apply to become one. This will be the first of a series of iHub webinars, so stay tuned! * MORE INFO <https://fiware.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ef5738ad9881c701e8bdfd4&id=7fb4d31d43&e=f5e8d867ad> * *INNOVATION AND COVID-19* How can digital innovation minimize the consequences of COVID-19 in the Smart AgriFood domain? *SmartAgriHubs* has launched an Open Call for hackathon activities within the Smart AgriFood domain responding to COVID-19.

The goal is to further stimulate the development of digital innovations that can tackle the challenges currently faced by the Agrifood sector. * MORE INFO <https://fiware.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94ef5738ad9881c701e8bdfd4&id=534ab1942f&e=f5e8d867ad> * *MORE OPEN CALL ALERTS* The new *CEF Open Call *will be launched on 30 June (and end on 5 November) with a budget of €3 million.
