Information and Communication Technologies Research 2009-2010:

Planning a research project in ICT? Looking for potential partners?

Are you interested in responding to calls for proposals for projects in the field of Information and Communication Technologies? Would you like to meet other people having similar or complementary research interests?

This one-day event is specially designed for you!

The event is designed to help you meet potential collaborators and facilitate the formation of research consortia. European Commission staff will also be present to advise on the specifics of the 2009-2010 work programme, and on the general rules and procedures for participating in calls for proposals.

Advance preparation: use this website to make the most of the Proposers' Day

Forthcoming features on this site will allow prospective participants to present proposal ideas and express interest in those of others in advance of the Event itself. This will be possible using "comment" facilities relating to specific fields of research. Through these comments, participants will be able to view each other's public profiles and establish advance contact through the site's messaging system.

The Proposers' Day will follow the ICT 2008 event in Lyon where the 2009-2010 work programme will be presented and where networking activities will start. The event will be similar to the very successful ICT Proposers' Day organised in Cologne in February 2007.

More information on the FP7-ICT Event in Budapest will be available soon.
