Lisbon council …. “To become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world, capable of sustainable economic growth with more and better jobs and greater social cohesion.” eEurope: A major instrument to attain this objective providing consolidation in Member States • IST: providing the key technologies….for knowledge creation, sharing and exploitation • Knowledge & Skills will determine the success of individuals and companies in the global economy • Highest level of R&D investment (3% target)

  3. European R&D policy by 2010 (2) • Addressing ‘Major European Challenges’ • Addressed by Research and Deployment initiatives at European level • Addressed by complementary national and regional initiatives • Back-up by all stakeholders from industry, users, laboratories,… • Addressing ‘local’ challenges & priorities • Mainly at National and regional level • Powerful funding schemes in place • Co-funded initiatives, High level of private investments • International co-operation • Europe becoming the place to be for best enterprises and researchers

Information Society today • Information society still in its infancy • Interacting with technology still a painful experience for most users • Value and innovation still mainly to be explored • Technology limitations still barriers to innovation • Legislative framework not always in place • Users still rely on ‘good old ways’ of doing things in a number of cases • ICT R&D potential still mainly to be explored • Huge capabilities to be explored by R&D on ICT technologies • ICT R&D remains yet mainly mono discipline

  5. Huge capabilities... Transport Safety systems, locations based services,... Environment Risk management, Monitoring, Simulation Health Monitoring, knowledge, imaging,... Leisure & Culture Entertainment capabilities, Tourism location based services, Digital heritage.. ICT Technology All citizens Digital divide, Inclusion, Assistive technology,... Worker Collaborative working environment, Mobile worker, Knowledge for workers,... Learning Access to knowledge and education,... Government electronic democracy, on line public servies,... Business Value chain management, Distributed tasks and organisations,...

  6. Emerging Technologies Beyond Robotics cognitive robots, hybrid bionic systems, ‘robot ecologies’ Life like perception and cognition systems Complex System New generation of scale free autonomously evolving systems Cognition Presence Intelligence Perception Foundations for a future virtual knowledge world, empowering human exploration of knowledge and enhancing the best of human life like richness for the benefit of all. Ambient Small Large Disappearing computer From computer system to ambient systems Molecular computing Global Distributed Quantum information Quantum information processing & communications Global computing

  7. Technology trends... …Towards the ‘Knowledge Society’ • Ambient Intelligence • ‘Anywhere anytime enjoyable access to services for all’ • User centered information society • Breaking technology barriers • Knowledge eInfrastructure • ‘Grasping the fruit of the knowledge age’ • Addressing business and social needs • Leading edge knowledge capability • Looking beyond ICT: Convergence with bio, nano, cogno technologies
