The Commission adopted on 28 October a Communication calling for the setting up of a Future Internet Public Private Partnership. In a nutshell, this Communication proposes to leverage the high European research investments and momentum on Future Internet technologies through comprehensive network and service platforms enabling the advent of Internet enabled innovative applications of public relevance. We aim at a multi sectoral approach that could cover sectors as diverse as health, energy, mobility, etc.. A budget of 300 M€ has been earmarked over the period 2011-2013 to support this PPP, which should be implemented under the existing legal framework of the ICT Thematic Priority of the 7th Framework Programme.
This initiative is primarily innovation driven and consequently a prominent role
is expected to be played by industrial actors. In that respect, a core group of
16 key European ICT companies advises on a comprehensive approach towards the
core content and implementation features of the PPP, which are outlined in their
EFII
position paper.
While such a proactive move by the ICT industry is welcomed, it is considered necessary and beneficial to complement the ICT industry view with the view of key representatives of other stakeholders. Therefore, in this workshop, a group of representatives from usage areas is invited to provide their view on the planned Future Internet Public Private Partnership and the potential role they see for their type organisation. In addition, a group of European research centre representatives has met in the beginning of this year and is preparing a report on their viewpoints and potential contributions. Tight collaboration between these groups of stakeholders in a Future Internet PPP is a prerequisite for success towards achieving a good balance between technology push and application pull.
The objective of this meeting is to sense and frame the interest of the usage areas in this PPP and to identify the issues of relevance to which this community may best contribute. During the meeting all usage area participants will be invited to give a short position statement of up to 5 minutes supported by ~ 3 slides commenting on the initiative, the industry paper, and the potential interest and role of your organisation in the undertaking. In particular, the following issues should be addressed in the position statements:
- General appreciation of the FI-PPP initiative from the perspective of usage area organisations.
- How to achieve a good balance between technology push and application pull as well as between a core platform of common enablers and platform specific instantiations.
- Exploring the potential of application and services mash-up cutting across application domains.
- Application pilots: representative use cases, experimentation environments.
- Potential role and commitment of usage area organisations in the FI-PPP, governance issues.
