Köln 2007: Information Day on European ICT Research & Development
ICT Proposers' Day - 1 February, 2007
ICT Proposers' Day 2009 is taking place in Budapest! Visit the web site.
Köln 2007 was a one day event to help ICT researchers respond to the calls for proposals under the work programme 2007/2008 of the 7th Framework Programme for R&D. It was all about networking - meeting other people with similar or complementary research interests who wish to form project consortia. Around 3000 people attended, with more participating via this site's interactive facilities.

After a short opening ceremony with speeches from Dr. Annette Schavan, German Federal Minister of Education and Research and Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information Society and Media, the rest of the day was organised as an information fair, with no formal agenda.
This highly interactive website was an integral part of the networking, and will remain active to allow participants to continue exchanging views and making contacts.
