Inventing the Future: ICT technologies for the future

The event's "Inventing the Future" theme will comprehensively cover major research trends in information and communication technologies (ICT) such as new computing paradigms, ICT-bio and nano, photonics, cognition robotics and the use of ICT for science.

The 2009-2010 Work Programme for ICT research in the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) will be presented in detail. Other sources of EU research funding for ICT will also be examined, including the new Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP). These initiatives together represent over €2 billion in EU support for ICT research over the next two years.
