ICT – Key for growth and jobs creation

ICT – a key enabler for productivity growth & competitiveness

Half of productivity gains in our economies are due to ICT



ICT – an important sector in its own right


ICT impacts business efficiency across the economy
ICT underpins innovations in all major products and services
From 4% of EU GDP in early 90s to close to 8% today
ICT – underpins progress in all science & technology fields


Computation and simulation, data handling, sensing, control, collaboration, etc..
e.g. GÉANT, the world-leading research network,
ICT helps address key societal challenges


ICT – providing tools for addressing key societal challenges
 ageing population, inclusion, healthcare
 Education, learning and preserving Cultural diversity
 Safety, environment and risk management
ICT – a facilitator for more efficient public services
 Helps modernise administrations and public services
 allows more participation in democracy and public life
ICT R&D – Europe Lags
 ICT represents more than a third of total R&D budget in all major
OECD economies, In Europe it is 18%
Spending on ICT R&D in 2000 (Billion Euro)
EU: 31
J: 51
US: 103
European Union
USA
Japan

IDATE, 2002
 Gap in ICT research makes up half of total gap with the US in R&D
spending
FP7 - Putting the knowledge triangle at work
European competitive knowledge economy – triangle of knowledge
 produce knowledge through research
 diffuse it through education
 apply it through innovation

Challenges in ICT workprogramme
Challenge 1: Pervasive and Trusted Network and Service Infrastructures
Challenge 2: Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics
Challenge 3: Components, systems, engineering
Challenge 4: Digital Libraries and Content
Challenge 5: Towards sustainable and personalised healthcare
Challenge 6: ICT for Mobility, Environmental Sustainability and Energy
Efficiency
Challenge 7: ICT for Independent Living and Inclusion
Future and Emerging Technologies
Horizontal support actions
New Paradigms and
Experimental Facilities for the Future Internet
• The Internet became a backbone of Modern Societies
–
Future Internet has to incorporate new features and keep the nature of
interoperability, openness and transparency. It must be able to scale for big and for
very small (prepare for the Internet of things).
by 2010, about 80% of the planet will be on the Internet
( ISOC)
• However, there are problems…



Complexity to manage the infrastructure (heterogeneity,
robustness, mobility) and the infostructure (code, content,
addresses, identities): the so called ‘architectural complexity’
Resilience and security: spam, viruses, denial of service attacks
Scale: adding new devices, the emerging Internet of Things
(cars, mobile phones, sensor networks…)
New Paradigms and
Experimental Facilities for the Future Internet
• In FP7:
–
there will be the opportunity to strongly involve European
researchers to address disruptive research in networking,
combining aspects of theoretical exploration, research and
experimentation, large scale measurements and
validation.
research will address the increasing complexity and scale,
the need for robustness and resilience, management of
mobility etc. Multidisciplinary techno-socio-economic will
play a key role when tackling the new challenges.
–
• Information on the Call
• New Paradigms, Experimentation and
Validation

the objective is to support the research with
experimentation, measurement and validation at
unprecedented scales and making use of the richness of
basic heterogeneous ‘seed’ platforms.
– When: Call 2 (May/June 2007)
– Budget: 39 Meuro
– Instrument: Collaborative Projects,
Support Actions
Note: This objective is complementary and coordinated with
“Technologies and systems architectures for the Future Internet”, part of
called in “ The network of the Future” Call 1 (Jan 2007, Budget 24
Meuro)
