Strengthen co-operation between National and EU Activities
Improve links between National and EU policies and schemes
Supports enlargement
Development of a “shared vision” on European RTD
Potential for co-funding arrangements

FP6 is a major instrument to realise ERA

Realising ERA will require
– New thinking: more strategic and goal oriented
– New approach: concentration, critical mass and flexibility
– New scope: taking account of the international dimension of RTD
(greater awareness of who’s doing what)
– New instruments: Integrated Projects (IPs) & Networks of Excellence
(NoEs)

IST in FP6 - objectives & strategy
 Main objectives
– Establishing Europe’s leadership in the technologies at the
heart of the knowledge economy and society
– Strengthening Europe’s competitiveness & technology base
– Building the information and knowledge society for ALL
 Strategy
– Concentration and focus, building critical mass
– Visionary, forward looking (longer term / high risk)
– Combine flexibility with greater speed in implementation
– Scope of activities: Core technologies & “pull-through”
applications
 Lisbon
objectives and eEurope as context!
The IST vision
 Bringing
the users, “people”, to the foreground…..
….. to the “centre of our attention”
– building trustful technologies for the background (almost invisible)
– Making technology “adapt” to people and business needs
 Moving
to an era where …..
“Our surrounding is the interface’ to IST applications & services”
 Exploring
beyond “the PC, screens & keyboard interfaces”...
 Enabling multi-sensorial dialogues …..
– supported by computing & networking
– ‘everywhere’, embedded in everyday objects
(e.g: furniture, clothes, vehicles, smart materials, …)
Future & Emerging Technologies
 More
exploratory and visionary research
 Helping
new IST-related S&T fields and communities to
emerge
 Complementary
to
– other IST strategic objectives
– other FP6 ‘Anticipating S&T needs / frontier research’
(new fields / multidisciplinary work)
 Open
scheme: openess to unforeseeable ideas
 Proactive
initiatives: critical mass where focus is needed
– e.g. ‘beyond robotics’, ‘complex systems research’

Vision
Europe’s challenge:

Single Market ...

Single Currency …

Strong European e-Economy
in the global economy...
Breaking the traditional boundaries, becoming all inclusive, accessible, personalized, mobile,
multi-cultural,…
Creating opportunities for new business and new work
paradigms!
Some aspects of new work and business
paradigms
 cutting
across many technology areas
 based
on a vision of “frictionless” single European eMarket (SEEM)
 task-driven
 holonic
structures
 media-rich
 natural
competence networking
and multimodal environments
interaction supporting creativity
Major Work and Business challenges.
A key component of a global EU policy
 The
Union has set an objective for the next decade …
Lisbon council:
“To become the most competitive and dynamic
knowledge-based economy in the world,
capable of sustainable economic growth with
more and better jobs and greater social
cohesion.” - in 2010 (enlargement!)
 eEurope: A major
instrument to attain this objective
Trends: Shift to Intangibles
Success Factors:
– Network Capabilities
• internally
• externally
– Innovation Skills
– Knowledge Management
– >Favors the knowledge work which is location
independent!
Trends: The extended product
The challenge of the SCM systems is to integrate the very different
components integrated in the whole life cycle of a product
tangible/intangible
-mimimising cost
services and relations
-maximising value
t
-controllable, analytical
-vendor-focus
-unpredictable, synthetical,
lateral, creative
-customer-focus
Moment of “purchase”
Favors the service industry close to the user
Trends in Products

Increased computing and communications power

products with embedded intelligence:
– lifecycle management

services with embedded intelligence:
– enhanced relationship management

intangible products:
– digital content and embedded services
– > Extended products and embedded sercvices!
– Need for strongly lateral interconnections and competencies
– Supporting service culture

How to avoid friction in the dynamics needed?
Trends: Ambient Intelligence Landscape
 Plentiful
of network connections
 Plentiful
of computing capacity
 Natural
 The
interfaces
challenge: How to develop new business and
work models and concepts which build upon the
ambient intelligence landscape? How to break with
the past, constructively?
Various roles of individuals in IS

The ambient intelligence landscape - for all of us in
different roles:

As citizens: trust and security, intelligent interfaces

As part of our organisations: knowledge management,
collaborative structures

As value creators: pan-European interoperable
infrastructure, common value creation process
understanding

….controlled by the individual !
Technical vision for the SEEM
Practical advises
 Not
that many IPs can be launched by strategic priority
 The
IP must meet the SP text clearly
 Impact
analysis
 Covering
the innovation process; interactions
 Technology,
 Do
verification and dissemination
not bet only on IP, use supporting STREPs
 Size?
Some practical aspects
 Contact
the relevant Commission people before too
much effort (sondage)
 Use
the EOIs for checking related activities
 Expert
database on Cordis www.cordis.lu
 IPs
something entirely new, high competition, “good”
not enough, very good the minimal
 Management
more important than before, crisis
management to be described
Conclusions: Opportunities & challenges
 Realising ERA requires …..
– new “thinking”
– concentration, critical mass & flexibility are key
 FP6
provides a key opportunity to shape and improve
the impact of IST research in Europe
–
–
–
–
A new generation of technologies & applications is emerging
Europe is well positioned to shape the future & compete
The pace of development is increasingly fast
The aim is “people first” in all-inclusive knowledge society
 Simplification of procedures and fast reactivity
– an extensive effort needed to mobilise the constituency
– to address the (steep) learning-curve FP5FP6
