Kick Off Meeting

Project ObjectivesAnnex I

1. Design and refine a proposal for RTD roadmap through shared knowledge, policy consensus and peer validation workshops.

2. Generate a sensible implementation model agreed by a number of EU regions/Nations to perform, in 5 years, the selected research activities in support including potential ERA Pilot joint activities to be implemented by a group of regions/nations in a short term.

3. Design, implement and run a sustainable network as a collaboration platform to implement future activities

4. Facilitate coordination and exchange of knowledge of actual RTD work performed in the domain subject to the project in different projects AMI@Netfood intends to cooperate with.

P E

Project ObjectivesObjective 1 & 2

1. Design and refine a proposal for RTD roadmap (SRA) through shared knowledge, policy consensus and peer validation workshops.

• Define ONE proposal for RTD roadmap (SRA) agreed by minimum 10 EU national or regional Policy Makers.

• Develop at least 14 validation/awareness workshops.

2. Generate a sensible implementation model including potential ERA Pilot joint activities to be implemented by a group of regions/nations.

• One proposal for a Technology Platform or Integrated Project agreed by at least 7-8 EU nations/regions (call 5 or 7th FP).

• Propose FIVE different potential joint activities (ERA Pilots).

P E

Project ObjectivesObjective 3 & 4

3. Design, implement and run a sustainable collaboration network.

• Design and run a knowledge exchange platform grouping at least: 40 RTD partners, 100 Industrial partners and 25 Policy Makers from at least 14 regions/nations.

4. Facilitate coordination and exchange of knowledge with other projects AMI@Netfood intends to cooperate with.

• Establish Active Cooperation Channels with at least FIVE related EU projects.

• Dissemination, THREE newsletters to at least 750 & Participate in THREE International workshops.

P E

The AMI@NetfoodDomain Keywords

• Information Society Technologies• AMI technologies• Applications and services for collaborative working

Applicable to AGRIFOOD and RURAL DEVELOPMENT.

P E

OUR Objective

• To define a strategy to develop a sectoral approach for future EU/Regional/National RTD Policy in the area of ICTs applicable to Agrifood and Rural development

• To implement it in a form of a more ambitious project as IP (call 5) or ETP.

• HOW1. Produce EXCELLENT project results (SRA, Era PILOT).2. Make EU commission and EU constituency aware of such results (actively

disseminate).3. Demonstrate EC that we have the potential and capacity to lead the task.Thus Create a strong public-private constituency supporting the results.1. Extend the consortium with all necessary actors that will add value to the IP.2. Prepare a sound proposal for an IP.

P E

How to do this?

First task is to achieve all stated Technical objectives (deliverables) in time, quality, cost (NO SECOND CHANCE). The tasks to be developed are simple but all have to be developed on time and with high quality.

To be proactive demonstrating that our project has succeeded in the task and has sound knowledge on the issue.

Achieve a big constituency (Public Governments & Private Key Players)

P E

Give evidence of IP management capabilities.

All partners will have to work in the same direction. All same objectives.

We should not admit any deviation – neither on deadlines, nor on task performance. The ones that do not provide the minimum required quality and effort might be out of the project.

P E

How to do this?

Extend the consortium with all necessary actors that will add value to the IP.

AMI@netfood will receive quite a high number of interested parties (in fact a number of them have already approached us).

We will have to first consolidate a strong Core Group and after that extend the consortium with VALUABLE PARTNERS (not any partner).

Prepare a sound proposal for an IP. Start as soon as possible, using results and feedback adapting our views to updated EC requirements (5th Call for proposals under 6th FP)

P E

How to do this?

Finally

P E

We are all in the same boat. Competition will be very high but we have an excellent competitive position.

We need to work together in one and only one direction not accepting any deviation.

WP2 - Objectives

WP Responsible: ATBPartners involved: All • Objectives:

– to identify the potential demand of additional Research and development activities on ICT technologies and collaborative tools that will lead to the incorporation of AMI technologies into industries and organisations belonging to the extended Agri-food / Rural sector.

– collecting data, information and knowledge, related to agri-food sector, from previous RTD activities and programmes and collecting the needs according to different agri-food / Rural sectors.

WP2 - Objectives

• Objectives:

– structuring the data within the repository which enables multiple layers of analysis, allowing for the development of multiple versions of current states and multiple future visions.

– analysing and synthesising the collected data from actual regional or national RTD strategies with the first hand experiences of the policy makers as identified in WP1 to give a clear expression of the AS-IS and TO-BE states.

– identifying current and future legal constraints

Coordination with other Projects

• A number of EC initiatives are of key relevance for AMI@netfood

• CISTRANA project and ERA Pilot CAs (a coordination meeting already in February with participation of all Era Pilots, Incl. AMI@netfood)

• ABARD• MOSAIC• Brain Bridges

• Specific collaboration links will have to be set-up.

P E

IP, ETP monitoring

• In parallel we should monitor status of development of actual and future IP projects and ETPs.

• There is an opportunity to create a basis for a sectoral activity under 7th FP.

COMIST Project The COMIST project aims to increase the participation of NMAS

organisations in IST activities according to a systemic innovation approach. COMIST supports and implements a general collaboration and interaction environment through the instrument of virtual or networked communities already experimented with success within the AMI@work.

• The general COMIST project focus is on strengthening the NMAS innovation system in the area of New Work and Business Environments and building strong integrative networking relations with IST.

• The working method of the COMIST project is explicitly inspired to that experimented by the MOSAIC project in the constitution, launch and operation of the AMI@Work family of communities. These communities act as breeding grounds for innovation in bringing together the relevant organisations and stakeholders for the purpose of starting up "innovation cycles". COMIST primary focus is on NMAS SMEs in the manufacturing, agro-food and logistics sectors.

P E


• COMIST –T1.2• Sectoral deployment strategies for systemic and collaborative innovation• D1.2.1 Develop baseline document• • Define, for each NMAS country, key value chain and sector characteristics,

bottlenecks and challenges in each of the sectoral areas (manufacturing, logistics, agro-food), as far as related to IST (e-work and e-business)

• • Define the IST-based value creation clusters related to the sectors as mentioned, of high potential importance from NMAS perspective and relating to other EU member states clusters.

• • Provide background analysis (must be related to e-work and e-business). • • Assess strengths and weaknesses of NMAS in these clusters. Feed into T1.1• • Identify promising or emerging IST-based clusters NMAS + others • Interior Deadline: 30 April 2005 or 30 May 2005
