European research - EU - Japan
3rd EU-Japan Symposium on Future Internet and New Generation Networks
20-22 October 2010 Tampere, Finland
The last EU-Japan conferences in the
field of "Future Internet" technologies and systems held in Tokyo last October
has successfully reconfirmed the mutual interest for tighter links between
European and Japanese research actors in this domain.
In follow-up to this event, we would now like to explore with the relevant
research communities the possibilities to implement concrete EU research
activities with Japanese partnership in the context of the next ICT work
programme, which will cover the 2011-2012 period.
This will be the objective of the 3rd EU-Japan symposium on Future Internet
and New Generation Networks which will take place in Tampere, Finnland, on 20
and 21 October 2010. Similarly to the last event in Tokyo, opportunities to
visit research centres and to see advanced networked technologies and services
will be offered by the Finnish hosting organisers on the 22nd of October.
The event is organised to maximise interactions between the European and
Japanese participants. The target outcome of the sessions will be to identify a
number of potential proposals, to be submitted under the upcoming "Challenge 1"
related calls of the next ICT work programme, where Japanese partners could
participate. In this context, participants to the event are invited to make a
five minute presentation ( 2 to 3 slides) outlining their views on future ICT
proposals and on topics where they could consider to team up with Japanese
partner(s).
Japanese participants to the event will make similar short presentations,
outlining their research interests and the type of activities where they would
welcome partnership with European actors. Following these presentations, about
half of the remaining session time will be devoted to more interactive
discussions between potentially "matching" interests.
Discussions and interaction will be organised through four parallel sessions of
about 6 hours over the two days, addressing the following topics:
- Future Internet Architectures
- Test Beds and experiments
- Service Platforms for knowledge
- Mobility and "green" networks
