IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Lessons Learned from Taiwan Relative incapability of the attendees to speak technical English –Solution: To use native language speakers for some presentations. It is also being considered to extend the e-learning package with subtitles in the local languages The training material was in an early phase of construction at the time – has been much improved since The feedback questionnaire is a good mechanism for obtaining opinions from the participants, but this was not available for this event – and anyway not in Chinese! It is always best to have a close involvement in the preparation of the programme, and for this workshop we were invited quite late, when many programming decisions had already been taken.

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Experiences from S. Africa The audience comprised mainly network administrators from South African Higher Education institutions that have been granted an IPv6 address space assignment or intend to apply for such an assignment in the next six months. 23 attendees, including representatives of: 2 ISPs (Telkom and Internet Solutions – the 2 major providers in South Africa) 4 Universities with a strong technical backgrounds 1 University with a less strong technical background

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ As a result of the workshop, the TENET chief technical officer met with 6DISS partners and the EC in Brussels on 9th December. Opportunities for further collaboration were discussed, in terms of: improving the connectivity between Europe and SA joint R&D on network services and/or applications within an EC project in the 6th Call (a proposal is being prepared) Furthermore, TENET has: set up an IPv6 link to GÉANT requested to GÉANT/RENATER for an IPv6 Multicast connection Experiences from S. Africa

Hosting guide (what we expect from the hosts): –Infrastructure: –Equipment –Connectivity –Attendee pre-requisites 2. What the hosts can request from us: –Topics –Hands-on sessions –Remote laboratory access –Level of detail –Specific requirements for special subjects

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Experiences from Egypt 6DISS supported an one-day IPv6 training session in the AfriNIC-3 meeting (Cairo, 12 th December, 2005). The session consisted of both theoretical presentations and hands-on exercises. For the hands-on sessions, the participants were first shown how to enable IPv6 in their PCs. Afterwards, groups of 5 participants were asked to interconnect two separate local IPv6 LANs using a WinXP router and tunnels.

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ The Framework Programmes FP1 € 3.3B FP2 € 4.4B FP3 € 6.6B FP4 € 13.2B FP5 € 14.9B € 3.7B per year FP6 € 17.5B € 4.4B per year FP7 € 73.2B Year Programme! € 10.45B per year This is the budget PROPOSED by the EC for FP7, but is not approved. It represents a doubling of the current yearly funding. I think that the likely outcome will be 40% less than this.

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ A 7-year programme (previous Programmes were 3-4 years) Will be structured in 4 specific Programmes, corresponding to 4 basic components of European research: Co-operation(€ 44.8B) Ideas(€ 11.9B) People(€ 7.1B) Capacities(€ 7.5B) + Joint Research Centre (€ 1.8B) Total = € 73B 7th Framework Programme Co-operation Ideas People Capacities JRC

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ The 4 Specific Programmes Cooperation – Collaborative research (predefined themes, refined FP6 instruments) Ideas – Frontier Research (competition, individual grants) Capacities – Research Capacity (infrastructure, SMEs, science and society) JRC + Euratom + People – Human Potential (mobility)

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Specific Programme 1: Co-operation 1. Health 2. Food, Agriculture & Biotechnology 3. Information & Communication Technologies 4. Nanosciences, Nanotechnologies, Mats & new Production Techs 5. Energy 6. Environment and Climate Change 7. Transport and Aeronautics 8. Socio-economic sciences and the humanities 9. Space and Security Research 9 Research Themes:

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ ICT Technology Pillars pushing the limits of performance, usability, dependability, cost- efficiency Integration of Technologies integrating multi-technology sets that underlie new functionalities, services and applications Future and Emerging Technologies supporting research at the frontiers of knowledge Applications Research providing the knowledge and the means to develop a wide range of ICT-based services and applications 3. Information and Communication Technologies Research Theme: ICT The largest Research Theme: €12.7B (EC proposal)

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Specific Programme 2: Ideas This Specific Programme will: “…. enhance the dynamism, creativity and excellence of European research at the frontier of knowledge in all scientific and technological fields, including engineering, socio-economic sciences and the humanities.”

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Specific Programme 3: People This Specific Programme will focus on a: “… quantitative and qualitative strengthening of human resources in research and technology in Europe by putting into place a coherent set of Marie Curie actions. See:

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Specific Programme 3: Capacities This is where the Research Infrastructure projects will be in FP7. The objective of this Specific Programme is to: Support research infrastructures (€ 4B) Fund research for the benefit of SMEs and the research potential of European regions (“Regions of Knowledge”) Stimulate the realisation of the full research potential (“Convergence Regions”) of the enlarged Union Build an effective and democratic “European Knowledge Society”

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ More money (probably not doubled, but certainly more than in FP6) Emphasis on Research Themes rather than on “Instruments” Focus on developing research that meets the needs of European industry, through the work of Technology Platforms and Joint Technology Initiatives The establishment of a European Research Council, funding the best of European science (€ 1.5B per year for basic research – in the Specific Programme: “Ideas”) The integration of International Co-operation in all 4 Specific Programmes The development of Regions of Knowledge What is New in FP7

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ The EC says there will be a “significant simplification of its operation”, through: A 2-stage proposal submission procedure A reduction in the time between the opening of negotiations and the effective entry into force of contracts Full operational autonomy to project consortiums A simplification of reporting procedures: –removal of the need for complex cost reporting models –simplification of the framework of the EC financial contribution –clear definition of eligible and non-eligible costs A rationalisation and simplification of information material A minimisation of administrative and financial regulations The extended use of lump-sum financing Simplified rules for participation and minimisation of paperwork What is New in FP7

IPv6 Conference Kopaonik – 05/03/ Roadmap for FP7 If everything goes well (ie. a budget is agreed by the EU Parliament), then the first Call For Proposals will be issued at the end of The deadline for submitting the first proposals with therefore be around March 2007.
