  7. IST Context • The Context for IST has changed in the last 18 months • Burst of the financial bubbles • Economic slowdown • Security,... • The importance of IST for the economyand the whole society remains vital • Key for societal challenges • Essential for competitiveness of all industries • Major role for all other science and research fields

  8. IST - a high political & policy profile • The Union has set an objective for the next decade … • 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

  9. IST and the global race to knowledge • The US invests 3 times more on RTD in IST • 52% of RTD in IST in OECD countries is in the US, 22% in Japan, and 17% in Europe • Japanese companies spend 3 times more of their value added on RTD in IST • In Japan 17% of the value added in the IST sector is spent on R&D, In the US it is 10%, and in Europe it is 6% • Research in the EU is often fragmented • Member states are less and less able to build critical mass, on individual bases, in strategic areas

  10. A renewed effort in RTD is required • A new generation of technologies is emerging • helps build an ALL inclusive knowledge society & economy • Europe is well positioned • Europe can build on strengths, e.g. • in Mobile and Wireless, • embedded software, • consumer electronics, • rich content & service provision • EU RTD in IST provides a unique opportunity • to aggregate fragmented effort (ERA) • build consensus and provide a “global approach”

  11. IST in FP6 - objectives & strategy • Main objectives • Establishing Europe’s leadership in the technologies at the heart of the knowledge economy and society • Strengthening Europe’s competitiveness & technology base • Building the information and knowledge society for ALL • Strategy • Concentration and focus, building critical mass • Visionary, forward looking (longer term / high risk) • Combine flexibility with greater speed in implementation • Scope of activities: Core technologies & “pull-through” applications

  12. The IST vision • Bringing the users, “people”, to the foreground…..….. to the “centre of our attention” • building trustful technologies for the background (almost invisible) • Making technology “adapt” to people and business needs • Moving to an era where …..“Our surrounding is the interface’ to IST applications & services” • Exploring beyond “the PC, screens & keyboard interfaces”... • Enabling multi-sensorial dialogues ….. • supported by computing & networking • ‘everywhere’, embedded in everyday objects(e.g: furniture, clothes, vehicles, smart materials, …)

  13. Towards an “all inclusive knowledge society” • IST today • PC based ………………………………… • “Writing and reading” ….…………….…. • “Word” based information search ….…… • Low bandwidth, separate networks …..…. • Mobile telephony (voice) ……………….. • Micro scale ……………………………… • Silicon based ….………………………… • eServices just emerging ………………… • Only 5% of global population on-line …. “Ambient Intelligence” tomorrow “Our surrounding” is the interface Use all senses, intuitive Context-based knowledge handling Infinite bandwidth, convergence, .. Mobile/Wireless full multimedia Nano-scale + new materials Wide adoption (eHealth, eLearning, …) >70% of world-wide population on line

  14. Applied IST for major societal and economic challenges Pervasive, mobile, wireless, trustful infrastructures Miniaturised, low cost low power components & µsytems Natural interactions with ‘ knowledge ’  Specific integration Anywhere anytime natural and easy access to IST applications/services for ALL Building blocks Generic Structure of IST priority in the Specific Programme Three technology building blocks + applied research

  15. Security, privacy IPRs, dependabilty Smart cards,... Health, eInclusion, mobility, environment safety, cultural heritage GRIDS for science, engineering business and society E and m business, e and m work, Learning, egovernment Trust & Security IST for societal challenges IST for work & business challenges Demanding applications Applied IST for major societal and economic challenges Communication, computing & software technologies components & µsytems Knowledge & interface technologies  Communication & networking Software µ, nano & opto electronics µ and nano systems Knowledge technologies interfaces • Mobile: beyond 3G • Fixed:All optical • Integrated (IPv6) • Audiovisual systems • Embedded • Distributed • Reliability • Adaptability • CMOS : the limit • System-on-Chip • Nano-scale • New materials • Multidiscplines • New Sensing • Networked • New materials • Nano-scale • Context based • Semantic based • Agent based • Scaleable • All senses • Multilingual • Intuitive • ‘Surrounding’ anywhere, anytime, anywhere, any service, for all’ core technologies & “pull-through” applications

  16. Future & Emerging Technologies • More exploratory and visionary research • Helping new IST-related S&T fields and communities to emerge • Complementary to • other IST strategic objectives • other FP6 ‘Anticipating S&T needs / frontier research’ (new fields / multidisciplinary work) • Open scheme: openess to unforeseeable ideas • Proactive initiatives: critical mass where focus is needed • e.g. ‘beyond robotics’, ‘complex systems research’
