  1. ICT – EU Brazil Second Coordinated Call Objective ICT-2013.10.2 EU-Brazil research and development Cooperation Paulo Lopes ICT Counsellor European Inion Delegation in Brazil "The views expressed in this presentation are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission"

  2. mutual trust cooperation win-win 1st coordinated call 2010 ad hoc participations 2nd coordinated call 2012

  3. EU-Brazil 2nd ICT Coordinated Call Topics: • Cloud Computing for Science • Sustainable technologies for a Smarter Society • Smart services and applications for a Smarter Society • Hybrid broadcast-broadband TV applications and services One proposal per topic to be funded.

  4. Topic 1 Cloud Computing for Science • To explore cloud computing solutions that address researchers needs when building applications of high relevance for grand challenges (including both scientific and societal, such as environmental modeling, weather simulation, biodiversity, life sciences, etc) using distributed resources (network, computing and data).

  5. Topic 1: Expected output • In general: increase in computational efficiency. • R&D in this topic would target: • • Infrastructure technologies for sustainability • • Support platforms for e-Science applications • • Software engineering techniques • • Other Crosscutting issues

  6. Topic 1: Expected Outcome • Direct impact: health care, water management, climate change mitigation, natural resoruce manegement… • Indirect Impact: Poverty reduction • Specific science fields to be impacted will depend on the exact scope of the proposals.

  7. Topic 2 Sustainable technologies for a Smarter Society To explore system solutions to build sustainable complex systems that are cost effective, energy friendly, affordable and based on open standards to address current society challenges for better living, supporting the emergence of smart services and applications.

  8. Topic 2 - R&D in this topic would target: Technologies, components and systems for the deployment of sustainable ICT solutions Systems development platforms that are cost effective, energy friendly, affordable and based on open standards Integration and/or re-use of existing components (sub-systems) in a systems-of-systems engineering perspective Demonstration of the final platform in a particular application area (energy-efficient buildings, transport and traffic management, smart grids, safety and control of the food or water supply, environment monitoring and control, etc.)

  9. Topic 2: Expected Outcome In General: Systems-of-systems engineering, mixed criticalities Direct impact: Electricity, water and other natural resources management Communications and transport Education and health Climate change mitigation Indirect Impact: International standardisation efforts Sharing of best practices

  10. Topic 3 Smart services and appl. for a Smarter Society • To support the deployment of interoperable infrastructures exploiting new trends on future internet and open data (namely from sensors and social networks) to create context aware services and applications of relevance for citizens in domains such as management and monitoring of large crowds at large scale events, emergency situations, mobility, etc.

  11. Topic 3 - R&D in this topic would target: • ●To explore data "mash up" processes which synthesizes new information by collecting, connecting, reusing, combining and semantically aggregating disjoint information extracted from a plethora of sources • ●To develop smart, open experimental platforms to enhance the quality-of-experience of urban living • ●To support the deployment of interoperable wireless infrastructures exploiting new trends on Future Internet and open data • ●The federation of experimental platforms will be encouraged where appropriate

  12. Topic 3: Expected Outcome • To foster critical mass to develop new standards and markets driven by Future Internet facilities • Contribution of ICT to societal and sustainability targets, including that of standards on the minimum quality guarantees of the shared data • Support to the upcoming Football World Cup and Olympic Games to be held in Brazil

  13. Topic 4: Hybrid Broadcast-Broadband TV Applications and Services • Hybrid broadcast-broadband TV applications and services taking advantage of the widespread Internet connectivity will be developed for commercial use, for educational or to achieve other public goals. • Although TV broadcast transmission standards are different in Brazil and Europe, there is an opportunity to foster the development of intuitive and attractive new servicesconnecting broadcast and broadband seamlessly, whilst enabling new business models.

  14. Advanced Hybrid Media Experience • Key issue: develop and author applications, which can run on differentdevices and software platforms • Further relevant aspects: • Synchronisation of content from different A/V sources running on different distributed types of devices. • Intelligent search and navigation mechanisms • Identity management, trust and security • Hyperlinking of video content, especially for social TV applications

  15. Expected Impact • Enhance the competitiveness of the EU and Brazilian industry, including innovative SMEs and developers of web and TV apps. • Allow application developers to market their services and applications worldwide, independently of the terrestrial Digital TV standard used. • Enable new business models through the development of intuitive and attractive services, connecting broadcast and broadband seamlessly.

  16. Key characteristics • Excellent proposals • Solid consortia • Innovative work • Proven implementation capacity • Good impact both on EU and BR • Catalytic role for further bilateral cooperation

  17. Tentative schedule • Work Programme consolidated – May 2012 • Second Call launch – 10thJuly 2012 • Second Call close – 24thOctober 2012 • Evaluations & Negotiations – December 2012/ beginning 2013

  18. Special requirements • Two proposals submitted (EU and MCTI): • The description of the work (part B) will be common for the two coordinated proposals (English and Portuguese). • Two different administrative parts. • The EU FP7 proposal cover the EC participants and their costs. • The proposal submited to MCTI cover the Brazilian participants and their costs

  19. Special requirements • The Part B must contain as an Annex a final draft of a required Coordination Agreement to be signed between the two consortia of two coordinated projects (see Annex 4 of the Guide)… showing that the two consortia have already taken into account how they are going to regulate their cooperation activities, and in particular how they are going to deal with IPR issues in a balanced way, respecting the FP7 Rules of Participation.

  20. Special requirements • Proposals must demonstrate a balanced effort between the two coordinated projects and a research plan properly involving coordinated research activities between Europe and Brazil.
