  1. Cooperation between e-IRG and ERA-NET ForSociety5th eIRG meetingDecember, 13th 2004 Xenophon Tsilimparis, Katerina Papakonstantinou, Fotis Karayannis GRNET fkara@grnet.gr, http://www.grnet.gr London - UK, December 13th, 2005

  2. The ERA-NET ForSociety project • ForSociety: a network of 16 countries across Europe • Doing R&D or Innovation national agencies co-ordinate their “technology foresight” programmes • http://www.eranet-forsociety.net/ForSociety • Project funded by DG Research in the framework of the ERA-NET scheme: • Coordination of national R&D programmes with ultimate objective the design and implementation of joint trans-national R&D programmes • “Foresight” aims at identifying possible technological futures and defining strategies to achieve them • http://www.cordis.lu/foresight/definition.htm • Similar to the e-IRG 20 year roadmaps

  3. The ERANET-ForSociety network Coordinator: General Secretariat for Research and Technology (GSRT) - Greece GSRT, MES, TC AS CR, METLTM/DRAST, MTI FINLAND, BMBF, VTU, NKTH, MCST, RCN, MINOCRW/COS, AR, VINNOVA, TUBITAK, DTI (OST), GRNET, IFOK, DBT, MR SDIDT

  4. ForSociety objectives - Proposal on ICT and e-Infrastructures • Main objective to conduct “Trans-national Future Dialogues” • Future Dialogues have diverse themes proposed by the members : From energy to nutrition.. • For the next period GRNET proposed the theme of “e-Infrastructures towards Innovation” • Document existing national scenarios/visions for e-Infrastructures • 3 workshops anticipated (from Feb 2006 to Fall 2006) with the participation of : • foresight experts from different EU countries having worked on the national, regional or corporative level of foresight in ICT • e-Infrastructures experts from different EU countries working in the public or private area with a strong future oriented perspective (possibly involved within e-IRG) • policy makers of public or private bodies from different EU countries dealing with the set-up, management and implementation of foresight processes.

  5. e-Infrastructure Foresight example dialogue issues • How can e-infrastructures drive the cross border development of hybrid technologies such as bio-informatics, nanotechnologies, earth observation, precision farming, etc? • How multidisciplinary requirements could be best met through translational co-operation enabled by e-infrastructures? • What are the visions/scenarios behind the national ongoing or planned activities? • What are the central visions and scenarios to be explored in a future translational foresight exercise? • What are the systemic and institutional changes needed to take effect in order to bring e-infrastructures closer to national and European wide innovation systems? • What are the national research and innovation policy implications towards serving scientific multidisciplinarity through e-infrastructures? • How further expansion of broadband and optical networking to companies, governments, institutes and organisations could forge a relationship between e-Infrastructure and innovation on the long term? • How the grater economic and social context surrounding scientific exploration will affect the development of e-science and change the way we do science and innovation in general? • What is the impact of e-infrastructures on the organisation and functioning of science?

  6. e-IRG and ForSociety complementarities - Possible cooperation with the e-IRG • Forsociety foresight studies are similar to the long-term e-IRG roadmaps • e-IRG roadmaps focus on consulting the EC to future directions • Foresight focuses on stimulating synergies between national authorities into transnational programmes • Possible cooperation: • e-IRG experts participate in the Foresight workshops • Joint e-IRG – Foresight workshops during Austrian presidency? • e-IRG officially comments the Foresight documents
