• To be considered by all proposals.• Aim:

• To complement ongoing ERA activities CWE (activities launched with funding in call 3).

• Strengthen and complement research carried out under ESA, EUREKA and national initiatives.

• In particular, links to Eureka ITEA projects related to Nomadic and Cyber-Enterprise domain applications should be described to assess synergies and inter-dependencies in terms of timing and funding.

SO 2.5.9. SO 2.5.9. ERA activities ERA activities


• Generic consideration to be considered by any proposal.

• Actions targeting SMEs developing collaborative tools and application are encouraged (2nd and 3rd layers)

• Aim:• To achieve better interoperability of

complementary services and tools.• To leverage on innovative SMEs.

SO 2.5.9. Integrated Projects (I)SO 2.5.9. Integrated Projects (I)

• Budget: 70% • Integrated, goal-oriented R&D:

• Cut across the 3 layered focal tasks, including Work on:

• innovative concepts and methods, • core collaboration services, • tools for collaboration, AND • validation on testbeds and large demonstrators.

• Critical mass is required to have impact (20 – 25 partners)

• Average funding: 8 Mio €

• Generic principles for IPs: • Clustering and coordination of activities among the IPs in order to achieve a common ‘upper layer’ Collaborative Work Platform and to avoid overlapping in the development of tools for collaborations.• To contribute to ERA activities with National and

regional funding agencies.

• To contribute to achieve internationally agreed reference architecture for collaborative work by:

• Knowledge creation

• Workshops, committes, etc.

• The use of Experience and Application Research (EAR) approach is encouraged.

• EAR is defined by the ISTAG: they are designed for an early involvement of users and to create links to structures, business processes and workplace practices of the organisations.

• Examples of EARs budget: 700,000 € • EARs are expected in the “ICT rich” domains

mentioned in the text.

• EARs*: The ICT-rich domains mentioned in the text are:

1. collaborative design and engineering, in particular rapid prototyping and simulation, virtual manufacturing;

2. Media/content production, 3. e-Professionals and 4. knowledge and information workers in remote and

rural settings5. eTraining for collaborative and remote workers

SO 2.5.9. SO 2.5.9. Targeted RTD ProjectsTargeted RTD Projects

• Only in the 1st and 2nd layers.• Tasks:

• To explore emerging alternatives to pave the way for additional technological advances in the field.• Disruptive approaches are welcome. For example:

• Is there an alternative to Semantic web more adequate to collaborative work?

• To investigate ICT-bio, ICT-cogno and ICT-nano convergence in the context of New Working Environments.

• To explore human robotics working environments.• To extrapolate collaborative games experience to

collaborative work

• Aim:• to promote and support the networking

and coordination of research and innovation activities needed for European leadership in ICT-enabled Collaborative Working Environments.

• To ensure that the work is consistent across IPs and STREPs.
