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
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
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
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”
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
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, …)
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
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
