Dr. Erich Prem
The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Programme of the European Commission is among the largest ICT research initiatives in the world. Not only will it provide significant funding for joint European ICT research projects, but it will also offer enormous potential for cooperation amongst the international research community. In this talk we will provide an overview of the ICT programme and also discuss European Technology Platforms in the area of ICT as a new instrument for structuring and implementing research policies across European countries. Technology Platforms have been designed to bring together industry, research, and the public at the EU level to create significant impact and durable cooperation.
