Call-3 in Motion: Challenge 4 – Intelligent Content and Semantics

Information days, 12-13 December 2007, Jean Monnet building, Luxembourg

This successful two-day workshop with 20 invited speakers and 350 registered participants provided information and networking opportunities for the research and industrial communities considering submitting a proposal under the 3rd call. At the same time there were FP6 showcases, presentations of selected Call 1 projects, as well as preliminary discussions about possible research directions beyond 2008.

Poster sessions ran in parallel to the sessions and took place throughout the two days of the event. The Skills Marketplace offered the participants the chance to present their organisation and perhaps find the ideal partner for that winning proposal.


Program: 12 December 2007

Day 1 of the workshop concentrated on FP6. Coordinators of a few selected ongoing projects presented their results so far.

In a parallel session, issues concerning the impact and uptake of research results were discussed. The conclusions of a recent impact assessment study were presented and speakers from industry discussed how new technology can be successfully brought to the market.

Program: 13 December 2007

The second day of the workshop concentrated on Call 3. It was opened and chaired by Mr Roberto Cencioni, Head of Unit, INFSO E.2.

Based on the presentations and discussions of previous day, proposers were able to see what ground has been covered in FP6, thus enabling them to better address the themes of the Call in their proposals. This is intended to build on previous results, break new grounds and avoid duplication of work. Successful proposers from the first FP7 Call present ed a number of projects that are expected to start in the first quarter of 2008.

Future research directions were discussed. This dialogue was intended to pave the way for the new work programme in areas particularly relevant for the 'Content and Knowledge' unit, by setting boundary conditions, identifying key options and requirements, and addressing new trends and challenges that have emerged in the last year or two.

The session was open to any interested party; in particular organisations with little or no previous experience in EU funded programmes were welcome.

Poster session

The poster session was open to both projects who wished to showcase their work and organisations who wished to advertise their skills.

Preparation and Submission of Proposals

Applications for funding of research projects can now be submitted under FP7-ICT Call 3, published on 4 December 2007. Closing date of the call is 8 April 2008.

We invite you to submit a brief outline of your proposal by e-mail, in order to get preliminary feedback on its perceived relevance from EC staff, within a few working days. Please find further information on the dedicated Call 3 page: 'Content and Knowledge'.
