ICT – Key for growth and jobs creation
ICT – a key enabler for productivity growth & competitiveness Half of productivity gains in our economies are due to ICT
ICT impacts business efficiency across the economy ICT underpins innovations in all major products and services
ICT – an important sector in its own right From 4% of EU GDP in early 90s to close to 8% today
ICT – underpins progress in all science & technology fields Computation and simulation, data handling, sensing, control, collaboration, etc.. e.g. GÉANT, the world-leading research network,
ICT helps address key societal challenges
ICT – providing tools for addressing key societal challenges ageing population, inclusion, healthcare Education, learning and preserving Cultural diversity Safety, environment and risk management
ICT – a facilitator for more efficient public services Helps modernise administrations and public services allows more participation in democracy and public life
ICT R&D – Europe Lags
ICT represents more than a third of total R&D budget in all major OECD economies, In Europe it is 18%
Gap in ICT research makes up half of total gap with the US in R&D spending
Spending on ICT R&D in 2000 (Billion Euro)
US: 103
J: 51EU: 31

Challenge 6: ICT for Mobility, Environmental Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
Challenge 7: ICT for Independent Living and Inclusion
Future and Emerging Technologies
Horizontal support actions
New Paradigms andExperimental Facilities for the Future Internet
• However, there are problems… Complexity to manage the infrastructure (heterogeneity,
robustness, mobility) and the infostructure (code, content, addresses, identities): the so called ‘architectural complexity’
Resilience and security: spam, viruses, denial of service attacks Scale: adding new devices, the emerging Internet of Things
(cars, mobile phones, sensor networks…)
by 2010, about 80% of the planet will be on the Internet( ISOC)
• The Internet became a backbone of Modern Societies– Future Internet has to incorporate new features and keep the nature of
interoperability, openness and transparency. It must be able to scale for big and for very small (prepare for the Internet of things).
New Paradigms and Experimental Facilities for the Future Internet
• New Paradigms, Experimentation and Validation
the objective is to support the research with experimentation, measurement and validation at unprecedented scales and making use of the richness of basic heterogeneous ‘seed’ platforms.
• In FP7:– there will be the opportunity to strongly involve European
researchers to address disruptive research in networking, combining aspects of theoretical exploration, research and experimentation, large scale measurements and validation.
– research will address the increasing complexity and scale, the need for robustness and resilience, management of mobility etc. Multidisciplinary techno-socio-economic will play a key role when tackling the new challenges.
• Information on the Call– When: Call 2 (May/June 2007)– Budget: 39 Meuro– Instrument: Collaborative Projects,
Support Actions
Note: This objective is complementary and coordinated with “Technologies and systems architectures for the Future Internet”, part of called in “ The network of the Future” Call 1 (Jan 2007, Budget 24 Meuro)
