••• 12

ICT PSP WP2007: Approach

• Focus: given the limited budget– To maximise impact

• Providing means to measure impact– In a particular field or theme, on a particular constituency

• Balance between– Activities building on, and strengthening Member States

actions– Activities stimulating new actions in public and private

sector

••• 13

WP2007: Themes and Horizontal actions(still under discussion)

• Selection of main themes – policy priority areas as expressed in the i2010 initiative – need for financial intervention at EU level – expected impact on the CIP objectives– readiness of the stakeholders to engage in an action when

appropriate

• For 2007, three main themes proposed– eGovernment, eID, Ageing and inclusion, eHealth

• Horizontal and other actions– SMEs related actions– Networking and consensus building actions (intelligent cars,

sustainable growth, privacy)– Promotion actions, Benchmarking, studies on Information society

development

••• 14

WP2007: Structure

• WP focused on a set of themes and horizontal actions – The theme defines the ultimate socio-economic goals

• Themes and horizontal actions are addressed through a set of objectives– To be achieved through community contribution and their impact

• An objective is supported with • Pilot (s) A or B • Thematic Network (s)

– Through Calls for applications

• Awareness, benchmarking, conferences, Studies, – Through Calls for tenders (details defined in the tender pack) or grants (without

call for applications, according to EU financial rules)

• “Convergence” emerging but:• user handles separate networks• a multiplicity of devices• disparate services

• Billions of devices connected

• Security and trust are “added on”

• Robustness/dependability a key hurdle

• Difficulty to cope with the

fragmentation of the value chain

• Anywhere, anytime, any device• seamless, ubiquitous• broadband, mobile• reconfigurable to load/use/context

• Trillions of devices connected

• “Built-in” security and trust
