Köln 2007: Information Day on European ICT Research & Development - FP7 – ICT Proposers Day
Congress Centrum Koelnmesse, Köln - 1 February 2007
Follow up IST 2006 with a visit to Köln 2007!
A one day event to help ICT researchers respond to the calls for proposals under the work programme 2007/2008 of the 7th Framework Programme for R&D.
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/events/koln_2007/practical/index...
FP7-ICT Proposers Day, Köln 2007, will be an opportunity to meet other people with similar or complementary research interests, and wishing to form project consortia.
After a short opening ceremony with speeches from Dr. Annette Schavan, German Federal Minister of Education and Research and Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for Information Society and Media, the rest of the day will be organised as an information fair, with no formal agenda.
In preparation for attending the event, we would encourage you to prepare a profile of yourself, and your organisation's research interests. If you are forming a research consortia, it may also help you to provide a short profile of the skills / industrial expertise you are looking to find, from others that will be attending the Information Day.
In January 2007, this website will be expanded to support the on-line networking and exchange of ideas amongst participants, prior to and in preparation for the event. As for the networking part of IST 2006, you will be able to post your ideas to a range of on-line fora centred on each objective of the Workprogramme. By browsing though these in advance of the event, you will quickly be able to find and make contact with interesting people that you wish to meet during your visit to Köln.
The Information Day is essentially an unstructured event. What you get out of it will essentially depend on how much you have prepared yourself in advance.
A series of 'networking booths', each corresponding to part of the work programme, will be provided.
Apart from meeting each other, researchers will be able to meet Commission Staff bilaterally to discuss such issues as:
* the scope and objectives of the work programme
* the instruments
* evaluation under FP7
* rules for participation and the general working of the programme.
