ICT Proposers' Day 2011 > ICT priorities
Priorities for ICT research funding in 2011-2012
The
ICT Work Programme 2011-2012
(
927 KB) of the EU's Seventh Framework
Programme (FP7) defines the priorities for
ICT research funding and the related calls for proposals. The research priorities are grouped into
'Challenges' and 'Objectives' of strategic interest to Europe.
For the priorities listed below, calls for proposals are open (or will be opened later) and networking sessions were organised at the ICT Proposers' Day. Each of the Objective pages is composed of 2 parts:
- a part describing the topic with useful links, documents and agenda of the networking session (when available)
- an interactive part containing research & technology offers and demands, presentations and comments uploaded by other people. You are invited to benefit from their ideas or submit your own.
