Index of presentation
  • MAP-IT! project intro and objectives
  • Project expected results
  • Project consortium
  • Project workplan
  • Methodologies used in MAP-IT!
  • Synergies with IST project MED-IST
  • Initial activities (Questionnaire)
  • Benefits for you

3
Why the MED region?
  • MED countries in comparison with other worldwide
    regions lag behind in ICT adoption but offer
    great potential that needs to be uncovered and
    disseminated to promote research collaboration
    and co-operation
  • A majority of MED countries are demonstrating a
    strong effort in defining their national ICT
    development policies following a period when most
    MED governments never had a focused policy
    mainframe
  • With the EU-Mediterranean Partnership as the main
    EU initiative, EU has expressed deep interest and
    laid out significant funding in furthering
    research relations in the MED area

4
MAP-IT! EU
  • MAP-IT! directly addresses the Information
    Society Technologies (IST) Strategic Objective
    2.6.5/2 International Co-operation SSA
  • to contribute to a global strategy aiming to
    identify, including through appropriate awareness
    raising measures and dialog with broad
    communities, the partners (countries or regions)
    with whom Europe needs to focus collaboration,
    the common objectives of collaboration and, in
    each case,its rationale

5
MAP-IT! objectives
  • To map the competencies in the Mediterranean IST
    arena, as corresponding to the strategic
    objectives of the IST programme
  • To raise awareness within the Mediterranean IT
    community about co-operation opportunities within
    the IST programme

6
MAP-IT! overall expected results
  • The project will end up with three results
  • 1) Reasoned and qualified mapping of industrial
    IST related innovation structure of the target
    countries, identifying players in the ICT
    industrial arena
  • 2) Selection of key target players towards which
    awareness activities in the area of opportunities
    offered by EC 7th Framework Programme will be
    launched, putting forth the ground for future
    joint co-operation activities
  • 3) Launch of a dialogue process with identified
    groups of players (companies, universities,
    districts, technology parks) that can represent
    promising partners for joint RD initiatives with
    Europe, through workshops and training sessions

7
MAP-IT! Consortium
  • Consortium composed of four types of partners
  • Institutional players from MED countries
  • ITIDA (Egypt)
  • Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research
    and Technology (Tunisia)
  • Scientific/research experts
  • LUniversitĂ© Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah de Fès
    (Morocco)
  • International education, science, culture and
    communication promoter
  • UNESCO
  • Consultancies from Europe
  • Cybion Project Coordinator (Italy and France)
  • Innova (Italy, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland)
  • Euroquality (France)

8
MAP-IT! workplan
  • Project consists of 3 phases
  • Data collection on MED target countries to gain
    current macroeconomic view (innovation policy,
    social, political, economic) of existing
    situation in MED targeted countries and to take a
    snapshot of the industrial and research
    environment of each MED country in specific IST
    areas.
  • Data analysis, results consolidation, knowledge
    map creation of MED stakeholders
  • Dissemination, awareness and dialogue creation to
    foster future cooperation

Target countries
  • Algeria
  • Egypt
  • Jordan
  • Lebanon
  • Morocco
  • Palestinian Authority
  • Syria
  • Tunisia

11
Results per target country
  • Mapping of competencies identify key technology
    areas and ICT players
  • Position Papers country needs and proposals for
    cooperation
  • Awareness raising and training
  • Launch dialogue among MED players

12
Results per target countryMapping
  • Mapping of competencies identify key technology
    areas through
  • knowledge mapping techniques
  • questionnaires
  • Regional webportal on MED research players in ICT
    fields

13
Methodology in Detail
  • Definition of the mapping profiling procedure
  • Who are our targets for the mapping?
  • Definition of the benchmarking procedure
  • What are the excellence indicators that can
    define an ICT stakeholder?
  • Organisation of Working Groups and Expert Panels
  • Mapped MED ICT stakeholders to be evaluated by
    independent panel of research and industry
    experts
  • MAP-IT! partners to make final selections
  • Database insertion
  • MAP-IT! database is sortable, searchable by
    various fields (geographic area, ICT focus,
    typology of stakeholder, etc.)

14
Operative procedure
  • Adoption of a benchmarking exercise
  • Originally applied to the Innovation Relay
    Centres Network (IRCs) throughout 2001 2006
  • Applied methodological tool IVEM Benchmarking
    Cycle
  • Identification
  • Validation
  • Engineering
  • Monitoring
  • The model will be tailored to the context of
    MAP-IT!

15
IVEM applied to MAP-IT!
  • Identification
  • Data acquisition through Desk research
    Questionnaire mailing
  • Validation
  • Validating and deepening the collected
    information on the organisations resulted to be
    excellent
  • Engineering
  • Transfer of the collected data to the project
    database, searchable by different search criteria
  • Monitoring
  • Verifying if the conditions (internal external)
    that classified an organisation as excellent
    remained true in a given period of time

16
Current status database
  • More than 2.000 MED ICT stakeholders
  • Target 4.000
  • Questionnaires will be sent to enrich their
    profiles and gather more information on
    ICT-related strategies and experiences
  • Database to be made public this summer in synch
    with full website launch
