Some 75 persons attended the information day organised by DG Enterprise and Industry for the new call for proposals to create a European Innovation Platform for Knowledge Intensive Services, launched under the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP). The aim of the Platform is to facilitate the creation of more European innovation champions in the field of services. Based on a one-stop-shop approach, sectoral networks will offer integrated support packages to young promising growth firms active in knowledge intensive services. The networks will be built on public private partnerships connecting the research, incubation, financing and clusters angle. They will be complemented by a horizontal action offering more general support to the overall initiative.

Information Day on 14 June 2007

Objective ICT-2007.1.6: New Paradigms and Experimental Facilities

The European Commission will open its second FP7-ICT Call for proposals early June with a submission deadline on Tuesday 9 October 2007.

For people interested in "New Paradigms and experimental Facilities", a free information event is organised in Brussels on 14 June 2007 (see agenda).

Quote from the ICT Work programme 2007-2008

Target outcome :

a) Advanced networking approaches to architectures and protocols, designed to cope with increased scale, complexity, mobility and requirements for security, resilience and transparency of the Future Internet coupled with their validation in large scale testing environments based on a combination of physical and 'virtual' infrastructures.

b) Interconnected test beds addressing novel distributed and reconfigurable protocol architectures; novel distributed service architectures, infrastructures and software platforms; and advanced embedded or overlay security, trust and identity management architectures and technologies. Test beds for systems that provide trusted access to eservices with users requiring no administration and security skills.

c) Co-ordination and support actions for:

i) Standardisation and conference support;

ii) Co-ordination with related national or regional programmes or initiatives.

Expected Impact :

• Strengthened European position in the development of the Future Internet.

• Wider take-up of technological developments in networks and service infrastructure facilitated by a comprehensive validation of the technological and service choices.

• Global consensus towards standards and strengthened international co-operation through interconnected test beds and interconnection capabilities offered to third countries.

• Higher confidence in the secure use of the Internet through test beds enabling trusted access to e-Services.

Funding schemes : CP, NoE, CSA

Indicative budget distribution : 40 M

• CP 36M of which a minimum of 12MEUR to IPs and a minimum of 15 M€ to STREP

• NoE 3M

• CSA 1M

Call : FP7-ICT-2007-2
