ARTEMIS Joint Undertaking ARTEMIS aims to tackle the research and structural challenges faced by European industry by defining and implementing a coherent Research Agenda for Embedded Computing Systems. The ARTEMIS JU will manage and co-ordinate research activities through open calls for proposals through a 10-year, €2.5 billion research programme on Embedded Computing Systems. The programme is open to organisations in European Union Member States and Associated Countries. Selected projects will be co-financed by the Joint Undertaking and the Member States that have joined ARTEMIS. ARTEMIS aims to help European industry consolidate and reinforce its world leadership in embedded computing technologies. The economic impact in terms of jobs and growth is expected to exceed €100 billion over ten years. |
E2B JTI The overall objective of E2B JTI is to deliver, implement and optimise building and district concepts that have the technical, economic and societal potential to drastically cut the energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions due to existing and new buildings at the overall scale of the European Union. The E2B JTI will speed up research on key technologies and develop a competitive industry in the fields of energy efficient processes products and services, with the main purpose of reaching the goals set forth for 2020 and 2050 to address climate change issues and contribute to improve EU energy independence thereby transforming these challenges into a business opportunity. Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) are a new instrument of the FP7 for supporting industrial research according to Art. 171 of the EC Treaty. |
EIT ICT Labs In December 2009 EIT ICT Labs won the prestigious European race for excellence in innovation and became the new EIT Knowledge and Innovation Community in the ICT field. EIT ICT Labs will become a pan-European flagship uniting Education, Research and Innovation for the Future Information and Communication Society. ICT will be used by the EIT ICT Labs as the key enabler driving the transformation towards the Future Information and Communication Society. The aim is to generate individual satisfaction as well as sustained economic growth and social benefits throughout Europe. EIT ICT Labs will develop and deliver: |
ETSI – the European Telecommunications Standards Institute The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) produces globally-applicable standards for Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), including fixed, mobile, radio, converged, broadcast and internet technologies. ETSI is officially recognized by the European Commission as a European Standards Organization. The high quality of their work and the open approach to standardization has helped them evolve into a European roots - global branches operation with a solid reputation for technical excellence. |
HABITECH - ENERGY AND ENVIROMENT NETWORK Habitech owes its existence to an initiative of the autonomous Province of Trento and is recognized by the Ministry of University and Research. It is based on a collaboration between the University of Trento, research laboratories, private companies, and local authorities aimed at creating in the province of Trento production alliances specialized in the following sectors: sustainable construction, production of energy from renewable sources, and intelligent rural and urban planning technologies. Habitech is a structured initiative which has developed in a social and institutional environment that is certainly very alert to new environmental challenges, but that views these not only as hazards, but also as opportunities. Habitech promotes a new production model based on a synergy between various players (companies, research centres, institutions) that are united in their purpose: to promote and propagate clean techs and to regard the need for environment protection as an opportunity. |
ISI – the Integral Satcom Initiative The Integral Satcom Initiative (ISI) is an industry-led action forum designed to bring together all aspects related to satellite communications. ISI addresses broadcasting, broadband, and mobile satellite communications, as well as their convergence, in integration within the global telecommunication network infrastructure. ISI supports all forms of space communication and space exploitation. ISI is a Technology Platform included in the seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission. |
NEM - The Networked and Electronic Media Platform Networked and Electronic Media (NEM) is one of the European Industrial Initiatives, also known as Technology Platforms, established by relevant key European stakeholders, which address the convergence of media, communications, consumer electronics, and IT as a wide opportunity for future growth, by taking advantage of generalized broadband access, increased mobility, availability of richer media formats and contents, as well as new home networks and communications platforms. |
NESSI - Networked European Software & Services Initiatives
NESSI is the European Technology Platform dedicated to Software and Services. Its name stands for the Networked European Software and Services Initiative. Enterprises in Europe (both private and public sector) are facing significant structural changes and will rely on software and services to support them in adapting effectively. This represents a new opportunity for Europe and the NESSI initiative embodies the strategic mechanism through which this opportunity can be seized and exploited globally. |
Net!Works - European Technology Platform for communications networks and services Net!Works is the European Technology Platform for communications networks and services. Communications networks enable interaction between users of various types of equipment, either mobile (e.g. mobile phones) or fixed (e.g. PCs); they are the foundation of the Internet. The Net!Works European Technology Platform gathers more than 700 players of the communications networks sector: industry leaders, innovative SMEs, and leading academic institutions. The mission of Net!Works is to strengthen Europe's leadership in networking technology and services so that it best serves Europe's citizens and the European economy. |
WIRELESS WORLD Research Forum The Forum is a global organisation, which was founded in August 2001. They now have over 140 members from five continents, representing all sectors of the mobile communications industry and the research community. The objective of the forum is to formulate visions on strategic future research directions in the wireless field, among industry and academia, and to generate, identify, and promote research areas and technical trends for mobile and wireless system technologies. They are developing a common global vision for the future of wireless to drive research and standardization. In addition to influencing regional and national research programmes (such as the European Union’s FP7 programme) WWRF members contribute to the work done within the ITU, UMTS Forum, ETSI, 3GPP, 3GPP2, IETF, and other relevant bodies regarding commercial and standardisation issues derived from the research work. |
