Launch of MOSAIC Mashriq MOSAIC in Horizon 2020

December 3rd

, 2015, JUST – Jordan

Official Launch of the MOSAIC-MASHRIQ

ICT TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM

In recent years appeared a cluster phenomenon and an

unprecedented creation of centers of excellence. The

Technology Platforms play these roles. They a very

important in Europe in advising, driving and defining

strategic priorities in terms of research, development and

innovation for the coming years. They participate in the

implementation of SRIAs1, which inspire the European

Commission to plan priority programs. These strategic

agendas identify technological programs with real

economic and social impact to be developed for the next

20 years.

The main objective of MOSAIC is the creation of two

Technology Platforms (TP) in two regions of the

Mediterranean area: one TP-called MOSAIC

MAGHREB covering the Maghreb countries (Algeria,

Libya, Morocco, Tunisia) and another one called

MOSAIC-MASHREK covering the Mashrek countries

(Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria).

MOSAIC focuses on Information and Communication

Technologies (ICT), and how ICT can support common

societal challenges to the EU-MED; it addresses issues

for example in health and wellbeing, food and

agriculture, clean energy, transportation and risk

management for critical issues such as climate,

environment and security of societies.

This workshop/event aims to be a privileged place to

exchange ideas and strengthen dialogue between

academics and entrepreneurs, and between Mediterranean

and European stakeholders on key issues in terms of

research, development and innovation; and, to establish

working groups around common topics such as Big Data,

Cloud Computing, Smart Cities, Smart Systems and ICT

applied to Health, Environment, Energy, etc.

The main objective of this workshop/event is the official

launch of the MOSAIC MASHREK ICT Technology

Platform.

Abstract:

Based on European Technology Platforms (ETPs) success story, a challenge for

Mediterranean countries (MED) and Jordan in particular is to create similar Technology

Platforms (MED-TPs) to strengthen R&D cooperation with Europe on Horizon 2020 ICT and

societal challenges where ICT plays a key role, e.g. Energy. The collaboration between ETPs

and MED-TPs will help at analyzing potential areas of cooperation between Europe and MED

around the thematic areas of Horizon 2020 and at producing Strategic Research Agendas as

tools to set up sustainable technical and scientific cooperation, to identify research and

innovation bottlenecks and to facilitate knowledge circulation (e.g., software and services,

networked electronic media, ICT for energy, etc).

The overall aim of EU research and innovation in information and communication (ICTs)

under Horizon 2020 is to bring the benefits of progress in these technologies to European

citizens and businesses; the EU investments in ICTs are expected to be significantly increased

under Horizon 2020 compared to the current EU research programmes (FP7). Horizon 2020

will support ICT in Science; ICT in industrial leadership and ICT in societal challenges. The

presentation will provide an overview of ICT in Horizon 2020.

The European Technology Platforms (ETPs) have been set up in 2005 with the objective to

organize the ICT sector. 10 years after, the stock is very good, ETP produce a lot of

documents which bring helps to the European Commission in the FP7 and H2020 work

program definition.

There are ETPs in different fields::

ICT: NESSI (Software and Services), Networld 2020 (Telecommunications), NEM (Media

and Contents), EUROB (RoboTICS), Photonics21, ECSEL (Embedded systems,

Nanotechnologies, Smart Systems Integration), ETP4HPC (High Performance Computing),

Transport: ACARE (Air), ERRAC (Railway), ERTRAC (Road), WATERBorne,

Energy: EU PV TP (Photovoltaic), TPWind (eolic), etc

etc
