The main objective of the Working Groups is to '''collect contributions and feedback''' to the roadmap from relevant '''EU industry experts and researchers'''. The NexusForum.EU thematic Working Groups are based on the main sections of the Research and Innovation roadmap. These working groups are aligned with two European strategic initiatives: the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud and the Important Project of Common European Interest on Next Generation Cloud Infrastructure and Services (IPCEI-CIS).

The '''Working Groups''' are organised in three main categories: '''European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud, IPCEI-CIS''' and '''International cooperation.'''
