  dimensioning and management principles are
  needed.
• The design of those architectures is a
  multidisciplinary problem requiring a variety of
  competences.

Main addressed topics

• In this context, the main topics addressed by the
  NoE are
• Overcoming the challenge of technology diversity
  (vertical and horizontal integration) in the
  design of efficient and flexible FGI
  architectures
• Providing innovative traffic engineering
  approaches adapted to the new requirements and
  developing the appropriate quantitative methods
  for analysis, simulation and measurement

Strengthening Collaboration with Industry a main
target

• From the list of main targets in the contract
  with the European Commission Consolidating
  collaboration with industry, especially with
  SMEs, through a durable partnership programme
  implying strong commitments from both sides,
  supported by an industrial club.

SME Small-Medium Enterprises
32
Industrial Club, Members benefits

• Preferential access
• to the outcomes of the network as well as to the
  documents prepared by the network
• Preferential exchange
• with the start-up incubators of the partners of
  the Network
• Invitation to the network events
• free of participation fees
• Influence the strategic decisions of the network
• including research topics to cover
• Request the targeted tutorials

33
Industrial Club, Members benefits

• Access participation in experiments, tools
• specific experiments on the Euro-FGI platforms
• to the software and tools developed by the
  network
• Consultancy
• Euro-FGI could commit on providing a certain
  amount of person days of expert consultancy to
  the members of the club
• Standardization
• Euro-NGI contributes to and can provide support
  to standardization activities
• This will promote the take-up of new technologies
  
• by facilitating the transfer of innovative
  technologies to and from European companies and
  research institutions.

34
Euro-NGI and SMEs

• Euro-NGI acknowledges the important role of SMEs
• as fast moving, technological highly innovative
  entities.
• SMEs, however, may be short of specific research
  resources in order to complement their own
  competences.
• An efficient interface
• between SMEs and the available competences of the
  Euro-NGI network is being organized
• The SMEs will take advantage of
• the global and unified view of the field and of
  the main technological trends provided by the
  documents the network is producing. Indeed,
• SMEs usually dont have enough internal resource
  to afford this type of analysis and synthesis.

35
Euro-NGI and SMEs

• Contractual issues
• may be a major obstacle for the cooperation
  between university researchers and SMEs.
• The network can support the cooperation by
  providing help, e.g. in terms of fair contract
  templates with regard to IPR issues.
• Another objective of this activity is to collect
  and arbitrate requests for exchanging
• students, researchers and staff people between
  SMEs and the academic members of the consortium.
• Example Support sabbatical stays of researchers
  within SMEs or co-advisory of students with SMEs.

36
Industrial Club, Euro-NGI benefits

• Technological transfer will be in both
  directions,
• the club will help in transferring Euro-NGI
  results to the applications world
• The contribution in building the networks
  technological roadmap
• Win-win situation

37
Industrial Club, IPR

• There are provisioned mechanisms to protect IP
  Rights for all sides included (Industry,
  Consortium Partners)
• Legal issues would be analysed and workout on
  request

38

Objective

• Improving the competitiveness of European
  industry and enabling Europe to master and shape
  future developments in ICT so that the demands of
  its society and economy are met. ICT is at the
  very core of the knowledge-based society.
  Activities will strengthen Europe's scientific
  and technology base and ensure its global
  leadership in ICT, help drive and stimulate
  product, service and process innovation and
  creativity through ICT use and ensure that ICT
  progress is rapidly transformed into benefits for
  Europe's citizens, businesses, industry and
  governments. These activities will also help
  reduce the digital divide and social exclusion.

46
Three ICT Challenges for ICT Researchers and
Engineers

• 1. The converged communication and service
  Infrastructure that will gradually replace the
  current Internet, mobile, fixed and audiovisual
  networks.
• 2. The engineering of more robust, context-aware
  and easy-to-use ICT systems that self improve and
  self-adapt within their respective environments.
• 3. The increasingly smaller, cheaper, more
  reliable and low consumption electronic
  components and systems that constitute the basis
  for innovation in all major products and service.

47
Four Challenges Driven by Socio-Economic Goals

• 4. Digital libraries, knowledge and content
  development tools and applications that will help
  us preserve, develop and disseminate our cultural
  assets, improve our learning and education
  systems and strengthen the creativity of our
  society.
• 5. ICT tools for sustainable Health systems
  enhancing our ability to monitor our health and
  well-being and to treat major illnesses and
  diseases.
• 6. Intelligent and safe vehicles and technologies
  environmental sustainability and energy
  efficiency that are key requirements of our
  citizens.
• 7. ICT systems and applications for better
  inclusion and independent living of all citizens.

48
Future and Emerging Technologies Activity

• 8. The Future and Emerging Technologies activity
  will continue to foster trans-disciplinary
  research excellence in emerging ICT-related
  research domains.
• These 8 challenges are present in the call
• expected to remain largely valid well beyond this
  first work programme as they express aims to be
  achieved in a 10-15 years timeframe

49
Funding Schemes

• 1. Collaborative projects (CP)
• Support to research projects carried out by
  consortia with participants from different
  countries, aiming at developing new knowledge,
