3. Following the call from industry and the Member States, the Commission looked for ways of implementation Future Internet is a core infrastructure in society, a backbone for smarter cities and regions Novel societal and commercial usages are challenging the original Internet architecture, i.e. the Internet of Things Programme notion: much what used to take place at project level is now transposed one level higher, to the programme level (e.g. IPR, standardisation, KPIs, dissemination,…) Future Internet Public Private Partnership

4. Its an in-situ experiment Integrated programme notion Euro 0.5 billion project Pathfinder for FP8 Builds upon and complement existing efforts in FI research Bridges the gap between private and public interests Led by industry and driven by users Address regulatory and legal barriers, drives policy EU wide attention guaranteed Global attention assured Future Internet Public Private Partnership

5. Identification, definition and up-dating of the Future Internet requirements Specifications for an open standardised generic framework combining the required network, data, computing and services components Stock-taking and further valorization of the results already achieved through earlier European research Broad based SME involvement Expected FI-PPP Outcomes (1)

6. Validated set of the technologies to support user driven innovation schemes in real application contexts Platform validation through large scale trials Establishment of standardised interfaces where feasible Contributions to EC and national policy and research agendas Alignment with other ongoing Future Internet research initiatives Expected FI-PPP Outcomes (2)

7. Phase 1 (2011-2012) Define the usage area requirements & Identify the common enablers Identify the scenarios for early trials Start implementing domain specific functionalities Establish the programme support and coordination structures Phase 2 (2013-2014) Ensure availability of the necessary test infrastructure for the early trials Develop the core platform and the use case specific functionalities Run early trials for all use cases Prepare large scale trials Phase 3 (2014-2015) Run large scale trials Involve SMEs at large FI-PPP programme. Phases

8. Investment by the European Commission300 million Programme Participants300 million Partner organizations and companies158 Industry share in the programme68% Academic institutions18 Countries represented23 Facts & Figures

9. ENVIROFI Vision We envision … to establish an Environmental Observation Web in which all environmental data, whether from sensors, citizens, or models, are available anytime anywhere through the Internet in a standardised, usable format a system with dynamic understanding of the Earths atmospheric, marine and terrestrial spheres for the benefit of all European citizens

10. ICT in the Environmental Usage Area Focus on observations Work based on standards Observations can originate from various sources Web-enabled sensors and sensor networks Citizen observations/ human sensors Models and data fusion services

11. Scenarios 1.Bringing Biodiversity into the Future Internet Enabled biodiversity surveys with advanced ontologies Analysis, quality assurance and dissemination of biodiversity data 2.Personal Information System for Air Pollutants, allergens and meteorological conditions Enhance human to environment interaction Atmospheric conditions and pollution in the palm of your hand 3.Collaborative Usage of Marine Data Assets Assess needs of key marine user communities Selection of representative marine use cases for further trial: leisure and tourism, ocean energy devices, aquaculture, oil spill alert
