WP5: updating the Generic Guidelines Aggregating feedback on Generic Guidelines from –IST research community –ICT standards community –Commission Project Officers & other relevant stakeholders Integrating feedback from stakeholders into –updated (‘final’) document and interactive versions Sustainability of the Generic Guidelines –Ongoing and widespread dissemination –Evaluating scenarios for platform maintenance –Ensuring the sustainability of the project’s results

WP5: dissemination Generic Guidelines & project results IST research community –Continuous effort towards concertation meetings, cluster events, workshops, etc. Larger conferences in third reporting period –I-ESA, EASST –Submission made for eChallenges –Submission planned for IST 2006 –COPRAS Open Meeting Methodology & tools –Presentations –Hand-out material (brochures) –Exhibition presence (display material) –Articles in (on line) media

WP5: main themes planned for the COPRAS Open Meeting Perspectives on RTD/standards interfacing –Furthering Europe’s leading position in ICT development –IST projects’ problems when interfacing with standardization –Matching research programmes & ICT standardization processes –Using standardization to disseminate ICT research results Global perspective on RTD/ standards interfacing Concrete results achieved by COPRAS and the IST projects it worked with Future perspective & actions required –Presentation final Generic Guidelines document & platform –Lessons learned –Recommendations for FP7

WP6: evaluating the results & recommendations from COPRAS Evaluating the results and impact of the Call 1 & Call 2 Standardization Action Plans –Standardization results against expectations –Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the process –Improvements achieved through COPRAS’ support –Recommendations for future Framework Programmes Evaluating the impact and usefulness of the Generic Guidelines –Feedback from projects in Calls 4 & 5 –Feedback from other relevant stakeholders –Improvements achieved through (using the) Generic Guidelines –Recommendations for future Framework Programmes

Activity planning & most important deliverables last reporting period 2004 Start COPRAS Monitoring execution plans Call 1 Monitoring execution plans Call 2 Feedback gathering & evaluation Open Meeting Conclusion project COPRAS project planning Input to other research programmes Generic guidelines & dissemination Case study brochures & dissemination Final document & platform versions Generic Guidelines 2.Final release ‘case study’ brochures 3.Feedback gathering report Calls 4 & 5 4.Final evaluation report 5.Open Meeting report 6.Final report 1

Furthering improvement of the RTD/standards interface in FP7 Improving the interface between research and standardization remains an ongoing process –Many ICT projects will continue to need support –Many issues could not (yet) be addressed by COPRAS Contributions to the FP7 ICT Work Programme –Communicate recommendations at targeted conferences –Targeting a more structural embedding of the RTD/standards interface the ICT Work Programme Possibilities for bringing COPRAS experience & results to upcoming research programmes –Generic support activity in FP7 or other research programmes –Support actions targeting European Technology Platforms –Reverse mapping results
