1.2. What is the duration of a Thematic Network?

2. CONSORTIUM COMPOSITION

2.1. Can public administrations be beneficiaries of a grant agreement?

In accordance with the Financial Regulation and its Implementing Rules, grants can be awarded to existing legal entities (that is, entities with legal personality). Entities which do not have legal personality under the applicable national law are eligible provided their representatives have the capacity to undertake legal obligations on their behalf and assume financial liability. Governments and public administrations have participated and are participating in programmes such as eTEN, IST, etc. There are several examples of ministries having signed grant agreements with the EC. Generally, if the national government or administration wishing to participate in a project does not as such have legal personality, the grant agreement would be concluded with the legal person the government or administration belongs to (this could be, for example, the respective Member State in case of a participating ministry).

Our are of interest and potential contribution

The advances that are being made in the field of reconfigurable and pervasive mobile-driven architectures towards location-aware business processes are at the centre of my research activity for solutions to analyse data using spatio-temporal and context-awareness functionalities. The benefits of using the spatial dimension as an additional parameter to monitor real time information, for instance, to monitor business performance using spatially enabled correlations between Key Performance Indicators is within my research field. I have developed the Spatial Dashboard concept to monitor and analyse KPI as a network of related decision structures, represented as a 3D dendrograms – a map-based structure similar to a decision tree.

I’m also interested in the following research aspects:

· Efficient ways to timely detect and prevent risky situations using, for instance, a network of sensors. Addition of business indicators to monitor system performance, accuracy of measurements and security levels

the pipeline? Which call and objective?

Dear Ferran,

This is just to ask you what will happen actually with DomCo. Is it still in
the pipeline? Which call and objective?

Kind regards,

Michael

Enterprise 2.0 Finland

Enterprise 2.0 - Finland

Let me comment about the social media and enterprise 2.0 applications in Finland. We’re a group of 20 people, academics, consultants, knowledge workers, writing a book about the evolution and use of Web 2.0 and social media in SME’s and large companies.

I’m writing about “Virtual Organizations 1970 – 2010”. The idea is to span pre-web 2.0 social media and networking tools and applications and compare them to the easy to use and cost-effective tools of the present Web 2.0.

There is a big change in the making. Large companies like Nokia are opening up, changing from command – control towards co-creation and collaboration, even beyond. Working together on a global scale is key to success.

The borders of the company are becoming more fluent. The Prosumer idea is invading business processes. Prosumers are more and more participating in the making of the whole supply chain. We see much more self-servicing and do-it-yourself.

The SME Enterprises can be big beneficiaries while they can multiple their size through global open innovation and co-operation with partners and clients.

The future Virtual Organizations will be much different in their working styles. Strangers from all over the world can embrace a common goal and start to work out new solutions. People who hasn’t met before, face to face, write the book. Our meeting place is a working platform with wikies and blogs. The work process and collaboration is very fluent.
