 [Communications Research Centre is hosting a number of information days in
regards to promoting collaborating with European researchers under the 7th
Framework program. If CANARIE receives funding for the continuation of the
CANARIE network international research collaboration will be strongly
encouraged especially in the areas of eInfrastructures
(cyber-infrastructure) and Internet of the Future.  Those interested in
research in these areas are strongly encouraged to attend these Info days -

FP7 Info Days in Canada

On-going registration and updated agendas for each of the three cities
hosting FP7 Info Days (information available below) are now available at
www.crc.ca/ncp. I would encourage any researcher with an interest in
collaborating with EU organizations attend the event to gain the latest
information on the FP7 program.  As well, program information from federal
and provincial funding agencies will be presented.

Please note the Ottawa Info Day will be available via webcast at
142.92.160.24.  The latest version of Realplayer will be required to view
the webcast.

March 12 – Toronto, MaRS Centre, Heritage Building, 101 College Street, 

March 14 -  Ottawa, Communications Research Centre, 3701 Carling Avenue.
This is a secure site and participants must check-in at the Reception Centre
and then directed to the Auditorium in Bldg. 2A.

March 15 – Montreal, CRIM, 550 Sherbrooke Street, West, Room 100

Background Information:

As the European Union rolls out the FP7 Program, it is critical to have the
knowledge and information disseminated to Canadian researchers in order to
take advantage of opportunities available to Canadians.

As the ICT Canadian National Contact Point, in partnership with the IST-EC 2
project and  ERA-Can, FP7 Information Days are being planned the week of
March 12 for Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.  ICT is the largest component of
FP7 with a budget of $5.2 billion Euros.  At the Information Days you will
be provided with information outlining the 7 ICT Challenges; how Canadian
researchers can participate in the EU COST program; and the newly
established ERA-Can office will cover information relating to the other
thematic areas of FP7, including life sciences, health, biotechnology,
agriculture, environment and food.

Il est désormais possible de s’inscrire à la Journée d’information sur le
septième programme-cadre (7e PC) dans les trois villes qui l’offrent et de
mettre la main sur le programme de cette journée au www.crc.ca/pcn. J’invite
donc tous les chercheurs intéressés à collaborer avec des organisations de
l’Union européenne (UE) à assister à cette activité afin de connaître les
derniers renseignements sur le 7e PC. Ils recevront aussi de l’information
sur les programmes des organismes de financement provinciaux et fédéraux.

sur Internet à l’adresse 142.92.160.24. Il faudra cependant utiliser la
dernière version de RealPlayer pour la regarder.

Contexte

L’Union européenne s’apprête à lancer son 7e PC, et les chercheurs canadiens
doivent en connaître le contenu afin d’en tirer le maximum pour la
population canadienne.
En tant que point de contact national canadien pour les TIC, et en
collaboration avec les projets IST-EC 2 et  ERA-Can, on organise des
journées d’information sur le 7e PC qui se dérouleront durant la semaine du
12 mars à Toronto, à Ottawa et à Montréal. Les TIC constituent le volet le
plus important du 7e PC avec un budget de 5,2 milliards d’euros. Lors des
journées d’information, on présentera les défis du 7e PC et les modalités de
participation des chercheurs canadiens au programme COST. Le nouveau bureau
du projet ERA-Can donnera de l’information sur d’autres volets thématiques
du 7e PC, dont les sciences, la santé, la biotechnologie, l’agriculture,
l’environnement et les aliments.

Yes title for my talk is fine.

Yes - I could be available on March 12 in Toronto

Given a large focus is on European Next Generation INteret and
eInfrastructure, if it is ok with you, I would like to send out notice to a
number of people at UoT, Platform, Alcatel and some other companies that I
think would be keen to participate.

Please let me know once the details are firmed up and I will send out a
notice on my list

Bill

Hi Bill

Susan and I are still playing telephone tag but in the meantime I am
attaching the "Draft Agenda" for the
Ottawa FP7 Info Day on March 14.  I would like your comments on the
title of your presentation and
if the time alloted is sufficient.  And to follow-up from your earlier
email, would you present at the
Toronto, March 12 and Montreal, March 16 Info Days as well?  It would be
great to have you.

For the March 6 Global eInfrastructure Info Day organized by the EU, I
would need confirmation of
your participation on this event as well as 2 ppt slides to give to the
organizers so the time can be
alloted accordingly.

Thanks Bill

Cheers
Debbie
