Future Internet Forum of Memberand Associated
States

• Mandate
• The progress towards a common Future Internet
  (FI) requires not only the mastering of core
  technological developments, but also a better
  networking of knowledge, people, skills, and
  users within Europe, taking into account the
  specificities of Member States strengths and
  ambitions.

  year.
• By 2012 the number of internet users will grow by
  an additional 1 billion
• Viruses and attacks on the internet and the web
  are proliferating.
• Internet services are mushrooming.
• Prospects are for trillions of different devices,
  sensors, services and 'things' getting online

26
Smart Infrastructure Trends

• Smart energy grids
• Smart environmental information systems
• Smart systems for transport and mobility
• Smart healthcare systems

The goals of the PPP should be to

• Increase the effectiveness of business
  processes and the operation of
  infrastructures and applications of high societal
  value.
• Address service architectures and platforms
• Foster cross-sector industrial partnerships built
  around Future Internet value chains
• Leverage the internet infrastructure as an open,

• Address regulatory and policy issues such
  as interoperability, openness, standards, data
  security and privacy etc
• Maximise the societal benefit through involvement
  of civil society/consumer organisations where
  needed

28
Steps to Future Internet PPP

• Commission and industrial stakeholders
  Collaborate develop work programme and the
  specific evaluation and modus operandi using the
  mechanisms of the current Framework Programme.
• 300m under ICT work programmes covering the
  period 2011-2013,
• First call for proposals to be issued in 2010.
• industry to define a focused PPP content by
  mid-2010 tomeet the dual objective of
• advancing Europe's industrial know-how in Future
  Internettechnologies and systems
• supporting the emergence of Future
  Internet-enhanced applications of public
  relevance.
• The Commission calls on the Member States,
  primarily through the Future Internet Forum, to
  support the Future Internet PPP and to help
  refine policy/usage requirements.
• As soon as the legal and governance structures
  of JTIs have been reviewed, the Commission will
  examine the possibility of setting a JTI in the
  area of Future Internet

29
Summary

• Not Long range short to medium term horizon
  (2015)
• Networking technological foundations witha clear
  application target (energy, transportation,
  health, etc)
• Exploring the interrelationship of networks and
  applications
• Aiming at stimulating business innovation and
  new economic opportunities

Coordination brings

• Two-way interaction between national and EU
  policies and activities
• Synergetic and complimentary agendas
• Sharing best practices and experiences
• Leverage EU funding
• Preparation of individual businesses for Future
  Internet calls
• Readier and stronger consortia

32
F.I. National Forum of Member States

• Mandate includes coordination between National
  and EU initiatives
• The Commission suggested that a permanent
  National Forum would be needed
• We need to start a discussion on it at national
  level
• I am presently the UK representative at the forum
• your input is needed and welcomed!!
