Objective The objective of the COMPLETE project is to optimize spending of public resources when purchasing network equipment and the related services. As a key approach towards this goal, the project proposes to create a common information platform for public procurers and support them in the procurement process by providing the organizational and technical expertise. Required information under such platform will be gathered from the biggest vendors of optical transport system equipment. Relations with mentioned key vendors need to be established, sustained and promoted. Such platform will significantly improve the quality of decisions taken by public procurers and in some cases would enable to conduct such procurement that previously would not have been possible due to various organizational and technological constraints (for example lack of access to specific technical information and roadmaps). Gathered and sustained information under the platform will be accurate, measurable and comparable as it would be easy for the reader to understand each vendor’s positioning regarding particular technical features. Project will directly coordinate procurement procedures in respect of optical network solutions for the National Research and Education Network environment and public entities. It will support public bodies in procurement procedures and indicate how the procurements can be synchronized with other European Commission programs. Another objective is to define common procurement procedures to help NRENs with the whole process of purchasing new optical networking equipment.There is a number of Horizon 2020 program activities for research, innovation and entrepreneurship that are linked with the project. The results achieved under this project’s proposal will be especially useful for the following two ICT calls:• ICT-27-2015• ICT-36-2015• ICT-06-2014 Fields of science natural sciencescomputer and information sciencesdatabasessocial scienceseconomics and businessbusiness and managemententrepreneurshipengineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringremote sensingengineering and technologyelectrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineeringinformation engineeringtelecommunicationstelecommunications networksoptical networksnatural sciencescomputer and information sciencescomputer securitynetwork security Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.1. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Main Programme Topic(s) ICT-35-2014 - Innovation and Entrepreneurship Support Call for proposal H2020-ICT-2014 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-ICT-2014-1 Funding Scheme CSA - Coordination and support action Coordinator INSTYTUT CHEMII BIOORGANICZNEJ POLSKIEJ AKADEMII NAUK Net EU contribution € 281 250,00 Address Noskowskiego 12-14 61 704 Poznan Poland See on map Region Makroregion północno-zachodni Wielkopolskie Miasto Poznań Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (2) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURES FOR RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY Greece Net EU contribution € 245 500,00 Address Leoforos kifisias 7 11523 Athina See on map Region Αττική Aττική Κεντρικός Τομέας Αθηνών Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 CESNET ZAJMOVE SDRUZENI PRAVNICKYCH OSOB Czechia Net EU contribution € 191 500,00 Address Generala piky 430/26 160 00 Praha 6 See on map Region Česko Praha Hlavní město Praha Activity type Research Organisations Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00
