News archive - Call for public consultation on Future Network Technologies Research and Innovation in HORIZON2020
Future Network Technologies research in HORIZON2020 will primarily be addressed under the Industrial Leadership pillar. The Industrial Leadership pillar will aim at making Europe a more attractive location to invest in research and innovation, by promoting activities where businesses set the agenda. It will provide major investment in key industrial technologies, maximise the growth potential of European companies by providing them with adequate levels of finance and help innovative SMEs to grow into world-leading companies. The call is for researchers from industry and academia, providers, manufacturers, current and future users of networks communications, to act together for a shared, convincing and trusted common EU goal! Submit your contributions before May 15, 2012!
The aim of this consultation is to collect clear and convincing evidence to show that:
- EU research and industrial players are ready in HORIZON2020 to take further long-lasting commitments and be able to develop and deploy leading network infrastructure technologies here in Europe for the benefit of its citizens.
- EU industry will translate successful research and scientific breakthroughs into innovative products, services and systems, which will foster EU economic leadership worldwide.
-
EU taxpayers will receive value-for-money from research and innovation: in terms of growth, high-quality jobs and a sustainable life and economy.
Call to Action & Next Steps
(as published by the Unit "Network Technologies" in the Directorate General Information Society and Media of the European Commission)
We are seeking advice, comments and input on stakeholders’ specific areas of interest to address and help prioritise in a strategic manner the needs and challenges in network communications research in Europe in HORIZON2020.
We are particularly interested to know your views and opinions on the following questions:
- Which sector are you representing? What are the strengths and size of your market in Europe and/or worldwide?
- How would you describe (in less than one page) your ideas and/or plans for future R&D challenges/topics relating to Network Technologies?
N.B. This could encompass any topic from basic research to innovation and experimentation.
- How do you see the potential role of your organisation in HORIZON2020 in connection to the network technologies design, experimentation and/or deployment? What are your research priorities?
- Which network technologies requirements and expectations, do you consider important to inspire innovation and bring most benefits to your (business) development in the future?
- Which cross sector synergies in relation to the network technologies research are of strategic importance to generate growth in your business sector?
- How do you think that the network research community should best engage with the user community?
- Which constituencies and methodologies in relation to network technologies research are most important to maximise the impact of research and innovation in HORIZON2020?
- How should research developments in network technologies in HORIZON2020 be measured against delivering EU industrial leadership worldwide, sustainable economic growth and high-quality jobs creation in Europe?
The results of this consultation will be presented at an Open Workshop organised on June 29, 2012 in Brussels, where key contributions will be invited to make a presentation of their ideas for HORIZON 2020 Future Networks Research.
