Cross-Programme Actions
• topics common to several Key Actions (avoiding
fragmentation)
• topics of a strategic nature reflecting the IST vision
• topics not foreseen when IST was set-up (nanotech, Grid,
etc)
• support integration, convergence and building of critical
mass
• 13 Action Lines in WP2001 (~20% of workprogramme
content)
• includes RTD, take-up, accompanying measures
• provide support to eEurope (large scale demonstrations &
trials)
Objectives

to improve
• citizens’ awareness and comfort
• industrial competitiveness
• efficiency of public administrations

by enhancing and supporting
management of geo-information

to contribute to the
initiative, in particular
• government on-line
• citizen environmental awareness
• intelligent transport systems
the
use,
access
and
Targeted domains
Tourism,
entertainment
Transport,
mobility
Intelligent publishing
and delivery mechanisms
E-Map
e-work,
e-commerce
Statistics
Meteorology,
environment
Expected activities: GIS
Development and validation of GI technologies
e.g.: dynamic environments, interactive 3D/4D applications,
augmented reality environments
Expected activities: GIS
GI Services for Environmental
Monitoring and Management
Information
Output
Geo-Information
Management System
supporting decision making
Data gathering
Expected activities: GIS
development of engineering
techniques for designing and
providing generic spatial data
services and s/w components
based on standardised interfaces
that can be reused and integrated in
future (thematic) applications and
other (usage) contexts (e.g.: location
based services, m-commerce, …)
Location-based services
Focus: Design, develop and demonstrate locationbased and/or mobile services…...
…. for context-based information management,
retrieval publishing and delivery in a variety of
thematic applications
Location-based services
Rich multimedia
content
Advanced sensors
Large
database
technologies
and intelligent
agents
Location-based
and mobile
services use GI
and related
reference data
integrating...
Fixed and
wireless
network
technologies
Global
positioning
systems
Earth
observation
systems
New Business Models
Focus: Experiment with new business models....
Stockholm
Brussels
…. for the production, distribution and usage of
spatial data in mass market applications
Standards
Improvement of GI accessibility,
usability, and exploitability:
• metadata interoperablity
• standards
• semantic and ontological compatibility

Types of action: RTD
– Research and technological development (R&D) projects
to obtain new knowledge intended to develop or improve products,
processes or services and/or to meet the needs of Community
policies
– Demonstration projects
to prove the viability of new technologies offering potential economic
advantage but which cannot be commercialised directly
– Combined R&D and Demonstration projects
Types of action: supporting activities
– Thematic Networks
for bringing together manufacturers, users, universities, research
centres around a given Science and Technology objective, including
co-ordination networks between Community funded projects
– Concerted actions
Actions co-ordinating RTD projects already in receipt of national
funding, for example to exchange experiences, to reach a critical
mass, to disseminate results, etc.
– Accompanying Measures
Actions contributing to the implementation of a Specific Programme
or the preparation of future activities of the Programme, also seeking
to prepare for or to support other indirect RTD actions

CPAs - some advice on proposals
Proposals DO NOT have to …..
– address all Key Actions
– disqualify themselves from other Action Lines
– be broad and extra-multidisciplinary
 Proposals SHOULD ….
– have clear & focused objectives aligned with the
CPA
– submit proposal to CPA (1st choice)
– identify related workprogramme Action Lines
– identify a “centre of gravity” of the work
 CPAs are not a back-door to closed Action Lines
