Research in ICT for Enterprise Networking 
To perform collaborative research on ICT
breakthroughs crucial for the delivery of
distributed collaborative solutions for the
product lifecycle and of innovative inter- and
intra-organisational systems services in the
enterprise environment.
Future business, more competitive, innovative,
agile and value creating, will require new
technologies, applications and services to enable
them to work as networked knowledge-based
businesses.

• Challenges
• Stimulate targeted international
• co-operation
• Strengthen co-ordination of
• research activities
• Promote convergence
• of research innovation policies
• at national, regional, EU level

• Orientation
• technology driven
• RD / Policy interactions
• Long-term intermediate results
• Industry-driven
