Interim roadmap completed

ceFIMS has completed its first interim roadmap towards an ERA-NET+ on the Future Internet. This document draws on all the work carried out by the project in its first 12 months of operation.

The roadmap presents a preliminary analysis of the current landscape in European Future Internet research, and sets out a vision of a future involving enhanced cooperation among key Future Internet stakeholders.

The current landscape section covers:

  • state-of-the-art in Future Internet research
  • stakeholders involved
  • existing collaboration instruments
  • relevant activity levels of Member States
  • policy context

The vision of the future section describes:

  • modalities of an ERA-NET+
  • barriers and challenges
  • potential thematic content and approaches that Member States and the EC may have in common

The roadmap also outlines the next steps required to advance an ERA-NET+ on the Future Internet.
