Coordination and Collaboration Facilitation for Next Generation Future Internet Public Private Partnerships (CONCORD)

Project description


Programme Facilitation and Support

CONCORD advances European Future Internet research and innovation by supporting the successful implementation of the European Commission's Future Internet Public Private Partnership (FI-PPP) Programme. As a Programme Facilitation and Support Action, CONCORD coordinates and facilitates the alignment of FI-PPP activities to ensure the relevance, rigor and robustness of the emerging Future Internet (FI) concepts, visions and roadmaps. The co-creative CONCORD methodology is based on the SECI model (Socialisation, Externalisation, Combination,Internalisation) in a spiral development process.
CONCORD implements fair, neutral, open and inclusive procedures to assist FI-PPP stakeholders to achieve commonly agreed goals. CONCORD creates an open and transparent facilitation and support mechanism that builds on a common collaboration environment through which all FI-PPP projects address common issues and are accountable for their contribution to the success of the FI-PPP Programme as a whole.
CONCORD facilitates horizontal, cross-project knowledge transfer and co-creation at various levels, as well as collaboration with relevant external groups. It further supports project implementation through guidelines addressing common technical and non-technical aspects of standardization, policy, regulatory and governance frameworks, SME and user engagement and cross-project collaboration.
CONCORD addresses the challenges identified and the potentially divergent interests and objectives within the FI-PPP Programme community through structured discussions and meetings, maintaining a neutral approach to the issues at hand. CONCORD promotes Programme-wide consensus, minimising the risk of dominance by any one group through clear, transparent and fair rules of participation and interaction.
CONCORD focuses on the future-oriented and proactive strategic direction of the FI-PPP as a whole, highlighting the added value of its unbiased 'outsider' stance on the FI-PPP's vision, structure and processes. In doing so, CONCORD leverages past experience and on-going investments for the design and development of an overall system-level Programme view built on the fruitful collaboration of all FI-PPP projects.
Reflecting the priorities for Phase 3 of the FI-PPP programme, CONCORD focuses further on FI-PPP programme leadership and representation as well as on Go-To-Market -activities, together with other FI-PPP projects. As a joint-entity between CONCORD and FI-CORE, a Press Office has been created for managing strategic marketing, communications and event management. A Programme Office has also been established to facilitate co-operation between FI-PPP projects. During the last stage of the Phase 3, the emphasis shall be on the impact for the programme, supporting focused objectives for FICORE and FIWARE Foundation.
