Objective
The objectives of ECVision are:
(1) to bring together a disparate community of computer vision and artificial intelligence researchers in Europe;
(2) to promote this somewhat-neglected and strategically-important area of vision research through education, training, and information dissemination;
(3) to create a catalyst by which the distinct efforts in innovation of individual research teams can be amplified by mutual interaction with their peers;
(4) to provide a forum for technology transfer with industry by highlighting current capabilities and application successes;
(5) to allow application requirements to drive research goals;
(6) to maximise the effectiveness of future research by identifying a detailed research agenda, addressing scientific techniques, systems engineering methodologies, application requirements, & computational architectures.
Work description:
ECVision has four main activities by which it will achieve its goal of the promotion of a discipline of cognitive vision systems.
1. Research Planning - to identify key challenges, problems, and system functionalities so that the community and the EC can target the critical areas efficiently and effectively. In doing so, it will develop a 'research roadmap' which will identify the key challenges and priority topics, together with plans and timescales for attacking them.
2. Education and Training - to identify and develop courses, curricula, texts, material, and delivery mechanisms; to promote excellence in education at all levels, and to foster exchange of ideas through inter-institutional interaction of staff and students.
3. Information Dissemination - to promote the visibility and profile of cognitive vision at conferences and in journals, by organizing special sessions, workshops, tutorials, summer schools, short courses, and by providing links to the work of those in the AI & Robotics communities.
4. Industrial Liaison - to identify application drivers and highlight any successes, promote research trials, addressing all types of industries: games, entertainment, white goods manufacturers (e.g. vigilant appliances), construction (e.g. smart buildings), medicine (e.g. aids for the disabled), etc.
In addition, the network will include two distinct support activities:
1. Provision of an Information Infrastructure for both computer-supported co-operative work, e.g. discussion forums and email distribution lists, and for web-based dissemination of all material generated under the four areas identified above.
2. Operational management by a Network Coordinator and Area Leaders in each of the four areas above; these people will constitute the ECVision Executive Committee.
Milestones:
(1) Research Planning: Research road-map identifying key challenges, priority topics, & research strategies.
(2) Education & Training: model curriculum, text-book, courseware, & encyclopaedia; summer schools; exchange of staff, students, & know-how.
(3) Information Dissemination: publication archive; conference sessions; journal special issues; best paper awards.
(4) Industrial Liaison: database of research & application profiles, application-motivated R&D problems, applicability of techniques.

Topic(s)
Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
