New Ways to Work 2000European Telework6.2 A new framework for European research and technology developmentThe IST Programme is structured around four inter-related Key Actions (KA’s) all geared towards theachievement of the Programme vision. Thus, the Programme consists of a set of complementary activities thatare derived “by grouping together the technologies, systems, applications and services and the research anddevelopment and take-up actions with the greatest affinity or interdependence”. In this, “each Key Actionhas, as appropriate, a balance of the complete range of RTD activities from basic research to demonstrationand take-up actions”.Programme structure and indicative budget distributionTotal indicative budget : 3600 M?Support activitiesKEY ACTION 1Systems and servicesfor the citizenKEY ACTION 3Multimedia contentsand toolsKEY ACTION 2New methods of workand e-commerceTake-up Measures18% (of totalbudget)16%15%ProjectClustersCross- Programme ThemesTestbedsShared CostRTD38%KEY ACTION 4Essential Technologies and infrastructures4%ResearchNetworking9%Future and Emerging TechnologiesActivitiesIntegrated Key ActionsComplementaryInitiativesThe KAs are sub-divided into Action Lines. Each Action Line has clear monitorable objectives against whichproposals for EU support will be evaluated.As a result of the first Call for proposals in 1999, over 2500 proposals were received, requesting a budget ofover 5.3 BEuro. 550 proposals were selected for support from an available budget of around 920 MEuro. Asecond call for proposals was published in October 1999, and a third in February 2000. This report includesinformation about the projects relevant to eWork, selected from the proposals submitted against the first andsecond Calls.- 116 -
New Ways to Work 2000European Telework6.2.1 Priorities for 2000Europe is well positioned to shape the Information Society. In its report on “Orientations for WP2000 andbeyond” (WWW.cordis.lu/ist/istag.htm) the Advisory Group suggests that the Programme be user-centred;focused on developing an Information Society that is inclusive for ALL and benefits women and men equally.It should build on Europe’s demonstrated strengths in critical sectors such as mobile and fixedcommunications, consumer electronics, general electronic appliances, software and system integration, servicesystems innovation, digital broadcasting and, rich content and network infrastructures.The priorities for 2000 are:• To improve natural and personalised interactions with IST applications and services. This includes multilingual/multi-modalinteraction systems that are adaptable to the user’s preferences and lifestyle (e.g.sensitivity to gender, age and culture).• To foster the development and convergence of networking infrastructures and architectures including theintegration of fixed, mobile, on-line and broadcasting technologies.• To develop embedded technologies, their interconnections and their full integration into the serviceinfrastructure, the workplace and business processes. To develop applications and services that takeadvantage of such systems.• To reconsider service provisioning in the context of any-where/any-time access to services and ambientdialogue modes including public services and, mediation and commercial transaction systems.• To improve the openness of software and systems.• To improve the tools and methodologies that enable creativity in content production and presentation, in thecontext of converging access and delivery systems.• To emphasise trust and confidence as a general requirement for all technologies, applications and services.In addition, there is a stronger focus on social and economic policy objectives. This will strengthen synergybetween strategic technology developments and priority policy areas such as employment, competitiveness(particularly of SMEs), equal opportunities, social cohesion and sustainability in the Information Society.From a policy integration perspective, aims include:• Supporting existing European policy objectives with technological developments, for example in areas suchas: data security, data protection and privacy, rights management, consumer protection, preventing andcombating crime, fraud and abuses, including control of illegal and harmful content.• Establishing sufficient research momentum to contribute to future European policy development e.g. intelecommunications, enterprise, e-commerce and social and economic affairs.• Reinforcing the links to standardisation and industrial consensus development to ensure coherence in EUwidetechnology deployment and in creation of new open framework for fair competition and fastinnovation.• Anticipating market needs and nurturing emerging technologies where public funding can make asubstantial impact by aggregating fragmented research and building critical mass ahead of market maturity.• Strengthening competitiveness of European industry in areas where Europe has a demonstrated leadershipand/or in areas of strategic importance.- 117 -
