One of these partners is IT services company Atos, who have been appointed as the digital media and central results services provider for the event.

Atos, already the official timing, scoring and results provider for the event, due to take place between August 1 and 12, will help design and develop the Glasgow 2018 European Championships website alongside Edinburgh-based company Signal.
