6. Main IST related parts of FP6

7. IST: a key component of EU policy The Union has set an objective for the next decade … Lisbon council: The Union has set an objective for the next decade … Lisbon council: –“To become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge- based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.” eEurope: A major instrument to attain this objective eEurope: A major instrument to attain this objective IST providing the key technologies … for knowledge creation, sharing and exploitation IST providing the key technologies … for knowledge creation, sharing and exploitation

8. IST: The “global race” to knowledge The US invests 3 times more on RTD in IST The US invests 3 times more on RTD in IST –52% of RTD effort in IST in OECD countries is in the US –Only 17% in Europe (22% in Japan) Public investment in the EU is 50% of the US effort Public investment in the EU is 50% of the US effort –And the gap is widening The EU effort is fragmented The EU effort is fragmented –Critical mass is rarely reached in the Member States … and IST’s have shorter and shorter life cycles... … and IST’s have shorter and shorter life cycles...

9. A broader IST picture USA EU … in terms of markets … in terms of research efforts

10. Europe can react......well positioned...well positioned –to take advantage of future development –well positioned in new emerging fields/markets (post PC..) can build on strengths can build on strengths –in Mobile and Wireless, embedded software, consumer electronics, rich content and service provisioning EU RTD in IST provides a unique opportunity EU RTD in IST provides a unique opportunity –to aggregate fragmented effort –build consensus and provide a “global approach”

11. Strategy Focus Focus Critical mass Critical mass Building on Europe strength Building on Europe strength Flexibility Flexibility Speed in implementation Speed in implementation

12. IST in FP6: key elements Policy framework: Lisbon conclusions Policy framework: Lisbon conclusions Vision Vision –“Ambient Intelligence” to provide natural and “enjoyable” interactions with IST applications and services Objectives Objectives –Strengthen European competitiveness and technology base –Build the information and knowledge society for ALL Scope Scope –Core technology and pull-through applications Challenges Challenges –Bring the users, “people”, to the foreground (the “centre of our attention”) –and build for the background (almost invisible) technologies which are trustful and embedded in every day objects

13. “Ambient Intelligence” tomorrow “Our surrounding” is the interface Personalised and for all users Technology is almost invisible Use all senses, intuitive Infinite bandwidth and performance Mobile/Wireless full multimedia services Wide adoption of eHealth, elearning,.. Laid-back mode of interaction Context-based knowledge handling > 70% of world wide population on line The way forward: “All inclusive Knowledge Society” IST today PC based …………………………………. Driven by professional use ………………. “Keyboard and screen” ………….……….. “Writing and reading”…………..…..…….. Low bandwidth………………….………... Mobile telephony (voice)………...….……. e-Services are just emerging………………. Steep usage learning curve……….……….. “Word” based information search…………. Only 5% of global population on-line ……..

14.

Other IST activities in FP6 Exploring future visions and paradigms Exploring future visions and paradigms –Anticipation of S&T needs –“Parts” of current FET Support to eEurope Support to eEurope –Anticipation of policy needs Building Research Infrastructures Building Research Infrastructures –Research Networks –access to RTD facilities Enhancing the impact Enhancing the impact –Innovation and support to SMEs Extending global co-operation Extending global co-operation Fighting the skills gap Fighting the skills gap – mobility of researchers...

16. FP6 Instruments for priority areas Three instruments: Three instruments: –Networks of Excellence –Integrated Projects –Article 169

17. Instruments for « priority » areas (1) Networks of Excellence (in the SP) Networks of Excellence (in the SP) –Common programme of activities –Large autonomy, including possibility given to the participants to launch call for participation –Several MEuro/year –Selection by calls for proposals –Support to researchers from other countries via mobility instruments –Participants: Universities, research labs, industrial labsUniversities, research labs, industrial labs Special measures for SMEsSpecial measures for SMEs

18. Instruments for « priority » areas Integrated projects (in the SP) Integrated projects (in the SP) –From several MEuro to tens of MEuro –Selection on a call for proposal basis –Large autonomy given to participants, including possibility to launch calls for participation –Is often a collection of tasks into one project –“Subsequent calls for additional proposals/tasks” by Commission –Global funding involving public and private funding –Participation: Support industry-academia collaborationSupport industry-academia collaboration Encourage participation of SMEsEncourage participation of SMEs

19. Instruments: for « priority » areas (3) Article 169 Article 169 –In FP6 defined priorities support to national programmes jointly executed according to article 169 –Joint or co-ordinated calls for proposals –EC funding used to support jointly executed programmes
