News archive - Horizon 2020 ICT Advisory Forum established
The EC’s Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CONNECT) has set up a new ICT expert advisory group in preparation for Horizon 2020. This group is called the CONNECT Advisory Forum for ICT Research and Innovation (CAF).
The group consists of 27 experts from industry, public research organisations and academia. Membership of the group is for two years in the first instance. In Horizon 2020, ICT will cut across the three pillars of the programme ('Excellent Science', 'Industrial Leadership' and 'Societal Challenges'). The CAF is therefore expected to be instrumental in developing the direction of research and innovation activities and initiatives dealing with communication networks, computing systems, digital content and related technologies under Horizon 2020. The first meeting of the CAF was held on 28 February 2013 and the group plans to meet 2 to 3 times a year.
