ERA-a new context for EU supported RTD
Moving to a European level Research policy Strengthen co-operation between National and EU Activities Improve links between National and EU policies and schemes Supports enlargement Development of a “shared vision” on European RTD Potential for co-funding arrangements FP6 is a major instrument to realise ERA Realising ERA will require New thinking: more strategic and goal oriented New approach: concentration, critical mass and flexibility New scope: taking account of the international dimension of RTD (greater awareness of who’s doing what) New instruments: Integrated Projects (IPs) & Networks of Excellence (NoEs) FP6 is not business as usual!

IST Context The Context for IST has changed in the last 18 months
Burst of the financial bubbles Economic slowdown Security,... The importance of IST for the economy and the whole society remains vital Key for societal challenges Essential for competitiveness of all industries Major role for all other science and research fields

IST - a high political & policy profile
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 providing consolidation in Member States IST providing the key technologies …. for knowledge creation, sharing and exploitation

IST and the global race to knowledge
The US invests 3 times more on RTD in IST 52% of RTD in IST in OECD countries is in the US, 22% in Japan, and 17% in Europe Japanese companies spend 3 times more of their value added on RTD in IST In Japan 17% of the value added in the IST sector is spent on R&D, In the US it is 10%, and in Europe it is 6% Research in the EU is often fragmented Member states are less and less able to build critical mass, on individual bases, in strategic areas Europe is still lagging behind in investing in research in IST to prepare for the next generation of products and services IST underpins the competitive “race” to knowledge The US invests 3 times more on RTD in IST The EU effort is often fragmented

A renewed effort in RTD is required
A new generation of technologies is emerging helps build an ALL inclusive knowledge society & economy Europe is well positioned Europe can build on strengths, e.g. in Mobile and Wireless, embedded software, consumer electronics, rich content & service provision EU RTD in IST provides a unique opportunity to aggregate fragmented effort (ERA) build consensus and provide a “global approach”

IST in FP6 - objectives & strategy
Main objectives Establishing Europe’s leadership in the technologies at the heart of the knowledge economy and society Strengthening Europe’s competitiveness & technology base Building the information and knowledge society for ALL Strategy Concentration and focus, building critical mass Visionary, forward looking (longer term / high risk) Combine flexibility with greater speed in implementation Scope of activities: Core technologies & “pull-through” applications

The IST vision Bringing the users, “people”, to the foreground….. ….. to the “centre of our attention” building trustful technologies for the background (almost invisible) Making technology “adapt” to people and business needs Moving to an era where ….. “Our surrounding is the interface’ to IST applications & services” Exploring beyond “the PC, screens & keyboard interfaces”... Enabling multi-sensorial dialogues ….. supported by computing & networking ‘everywhere’, embedded in everyday objects (e.g: furniture, clothes, vehicles, smart materials, …)

Towards an “all inclusive knowledge society”
IST today PC based ………………………………… “Writing and reading” ….…………….…. “Word” based information search ….…… Low bandwidth, separate networks …..…. Mobile telephony (voice) ……………….. Micro scale ……………………………… Silicon based ….………………………… eServices just emerging ………………… Only 5% of global population on-line …. “Ambient Intelligence” tomorrow “Our surrounding” is the interface Use all senses, intuitive Context-based knowledge handling Infinite bandwidth, convergence, .. Mobile/Wireless full multimedia Nano-scale + new materials Wide adoption (eHealth, eLearning, …) >70% of world-wide population on line

Structure of IST priority in the Specific Programme

Future & Emerging Technologies
More exploratory and visionary research Helping new IST-related S&T fields and communities to emerge Complementary to other IST strategic objectives other FP6 ‘Anticipating S&T needs / frontier research’ (new fields / multidisciplinary work) Open scheme: openess to unforeseeable ideas Proactive initiatives: critical mass where focus is needed e.g. ‘beyond robotics’, ‘complex systems research’

GEANT + GRIDs in FP6 FP5 results FP6 goals GÉANT International GRIDs
10Gigabit/s, EU + NAS 100+ Gigabit/s, Terabit/s, - progressive inclusion in schools GÉANT Mediterranean & Latin America International Global connectivity Large scale GRIDs platforms (virtual communities) GRIDs Initial pilots We can claim that in the FP5 we have created in Europe an infrastructure at the leading edge of the technology and have made available to the European research a tool extremely advanced and useful. We have now to plan to keep our current position and, if possible, to further enhance it. GÈANT is the first research network widely implementing 10 Gbps technology. Moreover the reach and the pervasiveness of the European Research Network Infrastructure as a whole (that is the result of the integration and co-operation of GÈANT and of the individual National Research and Education Networks) has no near comparison in the world. As an example we can compare the number of research sites connected by Internet2 initiatives in the USA (about 200) with the nearly 3000 research sites that are connected to the European research network. IPv6, Quality of Service Next Generation Internet solutions for the Research Community Test-beds

How to participate? FIRST: decide what YOU want and need to do based on YOUR strategy! THEN: analyse what kind of expertise is needed (-> what kind of partners are required?) and check if the idea fits to the programme objectives START: looking for partners as soon as you can You can use the partner search facility on Cordis AND FINALLY: start preparing the proposal

Conclusions: Opportunities & challenges
Realising ERA requires ….. new “thinking” concentration, critical mass & flexibility are key FP6 provides a key opportunity to shape and improve the impact of IST research in Europe A new generation of technologies & applications is emerging Europe is well positioned to shape the future & compete The pace of development is increasingly fast The aim is “people first” in all-inclusive knowledge society Simplification of procedures and fast reactivity an extensive effort needed to mobilise the constituency to address the (steep) learning-curve FP5FP6
