Introduction
The FP7 ICT Work Programme 2013 defines the priorities for the next wave of calls for proposals to be launched. The priorities are faithful to the FP7 Framework Programme and Specific Programme decisions and in line with the main ICT policy priorities as defined in the Digital Agenda. They reflect the input received from the Programme Committee and Advisory Group, the European Technology Platforms and a series of detailed consultations with the main stakeholders. For more information on input and consultations please see the Work Programme.
