Towards FP7Towards FP7

• new framework programme expected to startlate 2006 / early 2007

• main proposals (FP, SPs, RfP) forwarded to Council & Parliament

• significant budget increase … depending on EU financial perspectives after 2006

• traditional as well as new SPs (eg Space)

• multinational collaborative research (Cooperation SP) as well as grants for individual teams (Ideas SP)

Page 9: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

• IST rebranded now simply ICT, ~2 B€/year?

• still the largest thematic component within FP

• centred around 4 components:

– Core Technologies (incl. Knowledge)

– Integration of Technologies (eg home environments)

– Applications Research (incl. Content)

– Future and Emerging Technologies

See www.cordis.lu/fp7/

Page 10: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

Knowledge & Content in FP7Knowledge & Content in FP7

• Knowledge, cognitive and learning systems: methods and techniques to acquire and interpret, represent and personalise, navigate and retrieve, share and deliver knowledge, recognizing the semantic relationships in content for use by humans and machines

• ICT for content, creativity and personal development: novel forms of interactive, non-linear and self-adaptive content; creativity and enriched user experience; cross-media content customisation and delivery; combining all-digital content production and management with emerging semantic technologies; user-oriented use, access to and creation of content

• Home environments: … new services and new forms of interactive digital content and services; access to information and management of knowledge

Page 11: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

ICT workprogrammeICT workprogramme

• WP describes (high-level) objectives & priorities in 2007-08, sets the direction for the first series of EU projects (1,5-2 Beuro?)

• time-to-WP: – phase 1 (consultations) Feb-Apr– phase 2 (consolidation) Apr-May– phase 3 (workprogramme) Jun-Jul– phase 4 (refine focus & instruments) Jul-Sept– phase 5 (spread the word) Oct-Dec => IST conference, Nov

• elicit input from ALL relevant circles:– research themes:

• continuity vs. new directions• emerging challenges vs. gaps & failures in FP6• long term research vs. development & validation• relationships vis-a-vis adjacent topical areas

– stakeholders: S&T communities, ICT and Media industry, user industries

– instruments: collaborative platforms, shared infrastructures …

Page 12: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

ProcessProcess

• roundtables & working visits:– ISWC’05: Semantic Web, progress & prospects

– EWIMT’05: Interface between Multimedia & Knowledge R&D

– selected research centres …

• populate the research agenda– Content (26-27 Jan) + Knowledge (2-3 Feb)

• build “model”, fill gaps, refine S&T contentbuild “model”, fill gaps, refine S&T content– Knowledge (2-3 Mar) + Content (8-9 Mar)

• consolidate results & discuss working drafts – 5[-6] Apr (tbc)

• and then a long series of revisions …– EC internal then also national reps & experts

Page 13: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

We need your input, now!We need your input, now!

• project deliverables relating to research roadmap, technology foresight, market trends, etc.

• outcome of project events - workshops, seminars … addressing ‘hard’ or emerging research themes

• ad-hoc contributions (by email):

– for each candidate research track:

• state problem & result / advances (granularity: ~ 20-50 Meuro)

• expected impact (scientific, technological, economic)

• time-to-maturity & application space

• why public intervention, why at EU level

• timeframe: research starting in 2008 and delivering ‘exploitable’ results 4-5 years later, so … think 2012 and beyond

Page 14: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

Possible changes in emphasisPossible changes in emphasis

• from document to human centric approach: documents, interaction, ambient information…

• from focus on automation to balanced mix of people, data & tools:- cater for human & organisational factors- test technology against real(istic) data volumes

• integrate Web 2.0, address social networks, participative & consumer-produced content …

• keep pushing towards non-textual content analysis, place more emphasis on multi-modal analysis & interpretation

• preserve data integration as well as application / process related aspects

• encourage integration & consolidation: architectures & middleware

• early experimentation & feedback; more focused attack on selected user profiles and/or application tasks/domains

• … and more!

Page 15: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

Linking research toLinking research towider contextwider context

• reach out: awareness & dissemination beyond specialist research circles

• first use: early access to technology, trials & use cases

• infrastructure: public outcomes, sharing pre-competitive results …

• and in general any other measure that can

• add value to research

• ease and speed up its uptake

This meetingThis meeting• no more projects till Jan 2008

• hence up to you (!) to demonstrate good use of public monies

• and ... adequate return on investment

• powerful lobbies at work: must show results & broaden “our” constituency

• a huge challenge ahead:

– community building, “branding” & reach-out

• build new partnerships across disciplines

• stimulate dialogue with industry (IT, telcos, media)

• get users on board

• be known, be credible; exploit synergies, avoid duplication

• hence … a coherent and effective Dissemination & Awareness campaign

Page 18: Dissemination & Awareness 2006-2007 Introductory Remarks 15 February, 2006

RemindersReminders• main target groups:

– your peers

– actual or prospective sponsors & buyers (your management, government & research agencies, high-end users, IT & telcos)

– politicians & journalists

• different means for different purposes & target groups:– print & electronic publications (S&T as well as PR)

– conferences & exhibitions (S&T as well industrial/professional)

– scientific papers & topical seminars (involving outsiders)

– project’s open days (prospective sponsors & buyers)

– training & knowledge-spreading (involving outsiders) …

• collaborative multi-party projects, hence “co-authoring”

• acknowledge EU support (DG INFSO / IST Pgme)

• reconcile tension between own organisation, consortium & “field” at large (which is OUR concern)
