IST in FP6 - objectives strategy

• Main objectives
• Strengthening Europes competitiveness
  technology base
• Building the information and knowledge society
  for ALL
• Strategy
• Concentration and focus, building critical mass
• Visionary, forward looking (longer term / high
  risk)
• Combine flexibility with greater speed in
  implementation
• Scope of activities Core technologies
  pull-through applications

8
The IST vision

• Bringing the users, people, to the
  foreground.... to the centre of our
  attention
• building trustful technologies for the background
  (almost invisible)
• Making technology adapt to people and business
  needs
• Moving to an era where ..Our surrounding is
  the interface to IST applications services
• Exploring beyond the PC, screens keyboard
  interfaces...
• Enabling multi-sensorial dialogues ..
• supported by computing networking
• everywhere, embedded in everyday objects(e.g
  furniture, clothes, vehicles, smart materials, )

9
Towards an all inclusive knowledge society

• IST today
• PC based
• Writing and reading ...
• Word based information search .
• Low bandwidth, separate networks ...
• Mobile telephony (voice) ..
• Micro scale
• Silicon based .
• eServices just emerging
• Only 5 of global population on-line .

Ambient Intelligence tomorrow Our surrounding
is the interface Use all senses,
intuitive Context-based knowledge
handling Infinite bandwidth, convergence,
.. Mobile/Wireless full multimedia Nano-scale
new materials Wide adoption (eHealth, eLearning,
) gt70 of world-wide population on line
10
anywhere, anytime, anywhere, any service, for
all core technologies pull-through
applications
11
Future Emerging Technologies

• More exploratory and visionary research
• Helping new IST-related ST fields and
  communities to emerge
• Open scheme openess to unforeseeable ideas
• Proactive initiatives critical mass where focus
  is needed
• e.g. beyond robotics, complex systems
  research
