3. 3 CIP - ICT Policy Support Programme

4. 4 ICT policy framework: i2010 initiative Comprehensive and holistic approach for EU Information Society and Media policies Three priorities –Completing the Single European Information Space –Strengthening innovation and investment in research –Achieving an Inclusive European Information society Legislation, regulation Coordination, consensus-building –From Plan to delivery, less political talk; more implementation Financial support –ICT in CIP: To drive forward innovation through the adoption and best use of ICTs –ICT in FP7: To strengthen Europe’s leadership role in mastering and shaping the development of ICTs –In addition, Cohesion & Structural Funds

5. 5 CIP : 3 specific programmes Entrepreneurship & Innovation (EIP) € 2.166 million incl. € 430 for eco-innovation ICT Policy (ICT) € 728 million Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) € 727 million EIP committee IEE committee ICT committee 3621 M€ for 2007 – 2013 (current prices)

6. 6 ICT Policy Support Programme: Budget ICT PSP (728.4 M€ for 2007-13), indicative profile These are Commitment budgets: WP budgets can be different In addition, eContent+: 93.4 M€, ~45 M€ in 2007 and 48 M€ in 2008 –Has its own legal base for 2007-8 In total: 822 M€ for 2007-2013

7. 7 ICT PSP: general objectives Accelerate the development of a sustainable, competitive, innovative and inclusive Information Society By : –developing the single information space –ensuring wider uptake and better use of ICT –enabling an inclusive Information Society Building on the experience of eContent(+); eTen ; Modinis

8. 8 Developing the Single Information Space ensuring seamless access to electronic services –mainly studies, analysis, benchmarks,.. improving the conditions for the development of digital content –Important part of the budget, –eContent + in 2007-08 monitoring the European Information Society –mainly studies, analysis, benchmarks,..

9. 9 Innovation, adoption and investment in ICT Wider uptake of innovative ICT –ICT uptake in processes, products and services (in particular SMEs) Facilitating public and private interaction/partnerships –for accelerating innovation and investments in ICTs Promoting and raising awareness

10. 10 An inclusive IS with better services in areas of public interest Services in areas of public interest showing the way –demand-led innovation Improving quality, efficiency and effectiveness of ICT-based services in areas of public interest –enabling European enterprises (SMEs) to benefit from the wide business opportunities offered by ICT-based services in areas of public interest Benefits to all citizens –widening ICT accessibility and digital literacy An important part of the budget

11. 11 ICT PSP – activities Pilot projects thematic networks (including best practice actions) Policy analyses, development and coordination with participating countries Promotion, communication, information sharing and dissemination possibly Projects of common interest (public procurement based on commonly agreed specification) – as an option within the programme, this is not foreseen in 2007

12. 12 ICT PSP WP2007: Approach Focus: given the limited budget –To maximise impact Providing means to measure impact –In a particular field or theme, on a particular constituency Balance between –Activities building on, and strengthening Member States actions –Activities stimulating new actions in public and private sector

13. 13 WP2007: Themes and Horizontal actions (still under discussion) Selection of main themes –policy priority areas as expressed in the i2010 initiative –need for financial intervention at EU level –expected impact on the CIP objectives –readiness of the stakeholders to engage in an action when appropriate For 2007, three main themes proposed –eGovernment, eID, Ageing and inclusion, eHealth Horizontal and other actions –SMEs related actions –Networking and consensus building actions (intelligent cars, sustainable growth, privacy) –Promotion actions, Benchmarking, studies on Information society development

14. 14 WP2007: Structure WP focused on a set of themes and horizontal actions –The theme defines the ultimate socio-economic goals Themes and horizontal actions are addressed through a set of objectives –To be achieved through community contribution and their impact An objective is supported with Pilot (s) A or B Thematic Network (s) –Through Calls for applications Awareness, benchmarking, conferences, Studies, –Through Calls for tenders (details defined in the tender pack) or grants (without call for applications, according to EU financial rules) Details defined in the workprogramme

15. 15 Type A pilots in 2007 (still under discussion) Goal: ………service pilots with interoperability as the central theme aiming to demonstrate a “federated” solution and borderless operation of national systems Outcome: ….to implement an open, common interoperable solution with results widely disseminated and available to all member states Duration: ….typically 36 months with a pilot service operating for 12 months Response: …a proposal embracing existing national activities and evaluated to the published evaluation criteria Scale: ………implementation in at least 6 Member States but with the potential to scale up to all member states Participants:National administrations (relevant National Competence Centres), service providers, industrial stakeholders & users Funding: …..supports up to 50% of cost of the effort to achieve interoperability Community contribution available is 5-10M€ / pilot)

17. 17 Thematic Networks (still under discussion) Goal ………to bring together relevant stakeholders, expertise and facilities to support the implementation of Information Society policies using ICT. The network must have clear objectives and measurable outcomes (not a generic exploratory or support activity) Outcome: …to exchange good practices and to develop new policy implementation schemes, to facilitate replication and co- deployment of innovative solutions, to prepare future pilot or implementation activities. The outcomes of the work of Thematic Networks shall be in the public domain Duration: …typically 18-36 months Response: …competing proposals addressing a TN workprogramme objective and evaluated to the published evaluation criteria Participants: to be proposed by least 7 key stakeholders from 7 member states, but open to participation by entities from any EU member state Funding: …Community contribution supports up to 100% of the additional cost of work directly related to the network objective.
