| Acronym: eMobility |
| Main Objective: Telecommunications is experiencing major change. Sector actors are searching for new strategies as globalisation, mergers, convergence and new and disruptive technologies happen. The eMobility Technology Platform was formed to address this challenge and has almost 500 members. It has a track record of success in facilitating consensus building. The strategic objective of the eMobility CA project is to facilitate the emergence of a common understanding, between the European sector actors, leading to agreed road-maps and contributing to the global competitiveness of the European telecommunications sector on the following key challenges: the need to integrate the road-maps of the mobile and wireless sector with those of the health, transport and the environment sectors, the need to extend the eMobility Strategic Research Agenda to cover new technologies, the need to support the definition of a European perspective on the Future Internet, positioning these views in the international context, and the need to build the opportunities to use Structural Funds to develop leading edge markets in Europe, promoting the take-up of the RandD output of collaborative projects. The approach is based on the voluntary contributions of FP 7, national, and COST Programmes projects and of eMobility members, to the production of a series of recommendations, reports, road-maps and events by the eMobility CA. The eMobility Steering Board has endorsed the proposal. Support has been offered by a range of proposed and existing projects. The eMobility CA project results will highlight the collective recommendations of a representative body of European expertise, on priorities for future multi-sector, mobile, wireless and Future Internet R&D leading to increased momentum, critical mass and effective use of scarce human and time resources in RandD activities. 123 person months of funded effort will require a Community contribution of 1.5 M Euro with 75% funding. |
