The event will focus on Horizon 2020 - the EU's Framework Programme for Research and Innovation for 2014-2020.

Networking Sessions

As part of this event, several networking sessions will be organised. The open call for proposals for networking sessions is published on the DAE website http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/ict2013-networking-sessions , closing the 10th of May (EXTENDED!!!)
 
ICT 2013 event - your networking event - be part of it! The networking sessions provide you and other participants with the opportunity:
  • To share their own ideas on a particular policy, technology or research and innovation theme in the context of Horizon 2020;
  • To be exposed to the views, perspectives and ideas of other participants and engage in a constructive dialogue with them;
  • To meet delegates with common or similar topical interests with whom they could collaborate in the future.
The sessions will last 40 minutes. The reports of every session will be published online.
Participants can propose topics for networking sessions related to ICT in all parts of Horizon 2020 provided they meet the selection criteria.

Exhibition

ICT 2013 in Vilnius offers a unique opportunity for projects and companies to showcase their research, ICT products and innovative creations. An integrating approach will group the exhibits to 5 themes:
  • digitally empowered citizen
  • smart and sustainable cities for 2020+
  • industry and business for tomorrow
  • intelligent connecting intelligence
  • culture, science and creativity
showing the potential of ICT for innovating our future. Within each theme the different stages and types of ICT innovation will be covered from very advanced research up to the innovative applications of today. Next to info stands and the more "traditional" exhibits of advanced research and technology and innovation projects with high-tech prototype demonstrators, also some companies are being looked after demonstrating innovative products less than 2 years on the market. Live demonstration of results, visually attractive and interactive applications will be promoted and an "entertaining approach" is looked for. The exhibition will also actively link current research and innovation with the Futurium visions for the future and retro-fit these long term visions into today's innovations. The research and innovation exhibits will be accompanied by an 'art tour'. Exhibits including artists will be encouraged and exhibiting projects will be asked to engage with artists to express their views on the project and on the "Futurium" visions. Projects and companies are welcome to submit proposals to this call before the deadline of 7th June 2013 16:00 using the link in the Digital Agenda at: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/ict-2013-exhibition where more information is available incl. e.g. the Exhibition concept and the Exhibition guide. ]]> News Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:38:00 +0200 OpenFlow support in PlanetLab now available http://www.ict-openlab.eu/news/newsdetails/article/openlab-support-openflow.html I am pleased to inform you that PlanetLab Europe (PLE) now supports OpenFlow capabilities through a...
