Coordination and Support Actions Proposals and projects in FP7 Challenge 7 Information day Brussels 15-16 January 2007 Coordination and Support Actions

Supporting Measures - ICT and Ageing Objectives: RTD Roadmaps and Socio-economic research, including recommendations on how to best address ethical and privacy questions associated to ICT and ageing Support to Standards setting International Cooperation (US, Japan) ensuring global relevance and impact of European RTD and preparation of future research areas within ICT & ageing

Supporting Measures - ICT and Ageing Impacts: Increased personal independence, prolonging active participation in society – including an ubiquitous and friendly access to public information - and integrated care processes for the ageing population New markets for independent and active living products and services through a set of open standards and platforms providing seamless and reliable integration of devices and services. Strengthened European industrial position in ICT and Ageing technologies and services by creating a common longer-term RTD agenda including relevant standardisation efforts and ethical or privacy issues. Reinforced European academic and industrial knowledge base and excellence in multi-disciplinary research on ICT for independent living and active ageing.

Supporting Measures – e-Accessibility Objectives: Coordination of national research activities On assistive technologies: Coordination of constituencies and development of future research agendas; international co-operation with North America and Asia; achieving a better understanding of ethical issues; market requirements, barriers and cost-benefit aspects

Supporting Measures – e-Accessibility Impacts: New market opportunities for European industry and promote a global leadership in inclusive ICT Mainstreamed accessibility of ICT and radical improvement in accessibility of future ICT products and services by people with disabilities and functional limitations. Open, standards-based and seamless interfacing of general purpose and assistive ICT and embed personalised accessibility features deep into mass-market ICT technology design. Facilitated development and production of accessible ICT products and services through the availability of new tools and methods to allow developers to verify and optimise accessibility at all development stages.

International Cooperation - IST-2007.9.1 (IST-2007.9.2) Objective A: Identification and promotion of cooperation opportunities, support to policy dialogues Promotion of the EU ICT programme Identification of co-operation opportunities increasing visibility of mutual RTD potential and networking relevant stakeholders Networking existing co-operation projects in view of exploiting synergies Support to the co-ordination of national policies and activities on international S&T co-operation Co-ordination with the international activities launched in the Capacities Specific Programme, notably the INCO-NET schemes Development of S&T Co-operation Partnerships the support to the co-ordination of national policies and activities on international S&T co-operation.

International Cooperation - IST Objectives B: Development-related ICT research exploitation and cooperation roadmaps Specific International Collaboration Actions for development-related ICT research "cooperation roadmaps" identifying initiatives at local, regional or global level. These actions will focus on specific issues faced by developing ICPCs and will seek the direct involvement of organisations from these countries. In 3 areas: Language and speech technologies with particular focus on Arabic-speaking regions Open Source Software with particular focus on Asia, ACP and Latin America. To promote interoperability and the emergence of global open standards and practices. Accessible and inclusive ICT with particular focus on Latin America and ACP.

International Cooperation - IST Impact Strategic partnerships in view of gaining access to knowledge, developing global standards and interoperable solutions and strengthening EU competitiveness. Wider diffusion of the information society, especially in developing countries and strengthened EU policy for development.
