European FP7 Consultation Meeting on Internet of the Future


September 29 - Montréal

The FET (Future and Emerging Technologies) organizes in Montréal a Workshop
contributing to the forthcoming European research Framework Programme 7.
With this workshop, FET promotes an exchange of views for stimulating
cooperation between FET projects and the Canadian researchers who are
working in the area of “Internet of the Future”. More specifically the
workshop will cover topics such as

    * autonomic communications,
    * self-evolving networks ,
    * beyond-IP internet, and
    * facilities for testing of future internet concepts.


FET is the IST Programme (Information Society Technologies, a subset of the
European Framework Programme) nursery of novel and emerging scientific
ideas. Its mission is to promote research that is of a long-term nature or
involving particularly high risks, compensated by the potential of a
significant societal or industrial impact.

The European 7th Framework Program for Research, Technological Development
and Demonstration (RTD) Activities will run between 2007 and 2013. While the
financial perspectives are not finalized, it appears increasingly likely
that the EU and member states will agree on a substantial boost to R&D
funding. It is expected that annual FP7 funding will reach between 8.9 - 9.2
billion Euros.
