  1. Notebook 2003 The ICT-Policy Committee of the Nordic Council of Ministers NORDUnet 3 - A Nordic eScience Area Recommendations for a Nordic Programme of Advanced Internet Research & Development A selection of notes from the work in 2003 Presented at the NORDUNET 2003 – Conference in Reykjavik by Stellan Ranebo (Chair – ICT-p)

  2. Recommendations for a Nordic Programme of Advanced Internet Research & Development • Background • The direction and focus of a Nordic programme for research and development in the Internet and Internet-applications • Why should this be done at the Nordic level and not simply within the framework of EU co-operation? • The importance of the initiative in relation to other work in the Nordic Council of Ministers for Education and Research • Organisational and financial preconditions for a programme in this sector • Recommendations and Status

  3. The direction and focus of a Nordic programme for research and development in the Internet and Internet-applications • What type of research and for whom? • The objective of research: • IT security • Decentralised data storage and computing capacity (GRID) • Test-beds for high-capacity transfer via optical fibre networks • Mobile Internet • Prioritised and guaranteed services • Efficient communication • Research co-operation with advanced IT support

  4. Why should this be done at the Nordic level and not simply within the framework of EU co-operation? • Particular conditions for the Nordic countries • The Nordic platform for participation in the EU’s major research programmes • Nordic interests in the Adjacent Area • The future generation of citizens in the knowledge society

  5. The importance of the initiative in relation to other work in the Nordic Council of Ministers for Education and Research • The over-arching strategy of the Ministerial Council: “A new Nordic agenda” • The White Book on making the Nordic Area an internationally leading research and business region • The Nordic Centre of Excellence Programme • The idea of a Nordic Research Fund

  6. Organisational and financial preconditions for a programme in this sector • Organisational models • To gather the available resources together in one fund and ensure their distribution from it according to clearly defined criteria; • To structure the programme in detail and to charge different institutions with the task of carrying out the research described; or • To identify all those who have an interest in participating in a common programme and share out the work, investments and results. • Actors and collaborating Nordic bodies: • The Nordic Research Policy Council (FPR) • Joint Committee of the Nordic Natural Science Research Councils (NOS-N) • NORDUnet A/S • The Nordic Industry Fund (NI) • The Nordic Academy for Advanced Studies (NorFa) • Financial implications
