The European Year of Creativity and Innovation 2009
The year 2009 will be the European Year of Creativity and Innovation – particularly through Education and Culture.

The European Year will include information and promotion campaigns, events to disseminate key messages, identification of good practices, etc. Citizens' recommendations could stimulate further research into how creativity and innovative attitudes can be developed and could be taken in conjunction with the results of the projects, campaigns and policy debates taking place during the European Year.

Issues to be discussed are, for instance, the contribution of non-formal and informal youth activities as well as formal education to the promotion of creativity and innovation; the importance of broadening access to culture, openness to cultural diversity and fostering creativity as a competence which is transferable to a variety of occupational contexts; and the stimulation of innovation, flexibility and adaptability to a rapidly changing world.

The total budget earmarked for the co-financing of projects within this call for proposals is
estimated at € 920.000.
The grant awarded may not exceed 60 % of the total amount of the project's eligible costs as
specified in the detailed budget estimate.
The minimum grant will be € 75.000.
The maximum grant will be € 150.000.

Applications must be sent to the Agency no later than 01.07.2008.
This call covers projects starting between 01.12.2008 and 28.02.2009.
The maximum duration of a project is 10 months.

3.4 Challenge 4: Digital Libraries and Content - Objective ICT-2007.4.2 (ICT-2007.4.4): Intelligent Content and Semantics <8Apr08

Objective ICT-2007.4.2 (ICT-2007.4.4): Intelligent Content and Semantics
Target outcome
Medium term:
 a) Advanced authoring environments for the creation of novel forms of interactive and
expressive content enabling multimodal experimentation and non-linear story-telling.
These environments will ease content sharing and remixing, also by non-expert users, by automatically tagging content with semantic metadata and by using open standards to store it in networked repositories supporting symbolic and similarity-based indexing and
search capabilities, for all content types.
b) Collaborative automated workflow environments to manage the lifecycle of novel and legacy media and enterprise content assets, from the acquisition of reference materials to the versioning, packaging and repurposing of complex products, including their linguistic
and cultural adaptation to target markets and user groups. Empirical results from the psychology of human perception and attention will be used to identify salient multimedia segments and apply summarisation and encoding schemes that will improve content storage and transmission without affecting its perceptual properties.
c) Architectures and technologies for personalised distribution, presentation and consumption of self-aware, adaptive content. Detecting and exploiting emergent ambient intelligence they will use features embedded in content objects and rendering equipment to enable dynamic device adaptation, immersive multimodal experiences and contextual
