Challenges
 Lack of effective tools for
Understanding complex environment
Stimulating sustainable economic growth
Addressing financial crisis
Active involvement of citizens, in particular
younger generation in decision making
 Policy design
 Governance




Main drivers
Societal



Behavioural/societal aspects taken into account in policy design
Lack of transparency in corporate and public governance entails low
trust by society
Citizens and young people's involvement in decision-making proceses
Technological


Expansion of social networking, Web 2.0, Web 3.0
Complex systems can force new attitudes in governments response to
citizens’ needs: close the gap in technology use
Economic factors


Need for stimulating sustainable economic growth
Increased risks and economic/financial crisis
Continuity in ICT research for
governance & policy modelling and
Global Systems Science
• FP7 WP2009-10
• 8 projects (STREPs - CSA), total funding 15M€
• FP7 WP2011-12
• One IP, 6 Streps, 2 CSA started between Aug
and Dec 2011, total funding of 26M€
• FP7 WP2011-12
Call 8 9.14 and call FET-OPEN:
• 6 STREPS and 2 CSA. Total funding 16M €
FP7 WP2013 Objective 5.4:
Paving the way towards H2020
 Building on the previous calls
 Continuity to reinforce research in the
domain
 Public sector role in stimulating sustainable
economic growth
 Innovation in public services
 Stakeholders: citizens and younger
generation
 Contributing to the H2020 challenges
on social innovation
Objective 5.4 ICT for
Governance and Policy
Modelling: Funding schemes
• Total Funding: 19 M€
• STREPs
• Co-ordination and Support Actions
Overall scope of Objective 5.4
• A growing need for research and innovation for future
public services that will be a catalyst for growth and
sustainability
• ICT tools for collaborative governance and policy
modeling show great opportunities for empowerment of
citizens and increased transparency in decision-making
•

•
Examples:
System Models addressing decisions in a global networked context.
To better understand interdependencies between economic, social, and
ecological systems in order to allow coherent decisions across different
domain
To improve the interface/link between modellers and societal
stakeholders.
ICT tools that allow engagement of stakeholders in the process of
gathering data and analysing impact of models on policy decisions
FP7 WP2013
a) ICT for Governance
and Policy Modelling (1)
Policy Modelling and Simulation
• Evidence-based policies for growth and investment
strategies.
E.g: next generation of economic models that take into account linkage of economic,
social and ecological issues, in particular in view of the current financial crisis and
need for action in climate change.
• Innovation in public service through the use of ICT
• Build on web2.0/web3.0, social networking, crowd sourcing,
collaborative technologies
• Solve complex large scale policy problems in a distributed
fashion
FP7 WP2013
a) ICT for Governance
and Policy Modelling (2)
ICT tools for:
• Innovative data mining functionalities to identify the
emerging societal trends as a result of the economic
environment,
• E.g. Big data for social use
• Further advance crowd-sourcing techniques to engage
citizens in sharing knowledge and expertise to
collectively solve complex, large-scale problems in a
distributed fashion.
• E.g.: tools to allow new forms of interaction between stakeholders
and modellers; validation of models, visualisation of model results....
• Exploit the vast reserves of public sector data for new
services
Co-ordination and support actions (1)
b1)
Road-mapping of research on the use of ICT for
innovative public services and governance
Need: a roadmap of uptake of system models and 'Big Data' in
policy areas and the bottlenecks to do so (in research, in models and
data but also in the way research/models are presented to
stakeholders)
Example of relevant topic:
empowerment of the younger generations through ICT tools.
Roadmap results point to implementation under Horizon 2020.
Co-ordination and Support Action (2)
b2) Collaboration, on Electronic
Identification and Authentication
- dialogue with countries that have activities on eID and
authentication, in particular with the USA and Asia
-ensuring data protection for the citizens.
-exchange good practices
- leverage for European solutions worldwide and spearhead
European solutions for mutual benefit.
Examples of fields of application
Research to explore policy models and
policy impacts on society

urban planning policy
social and economic policies
role of younger generation in policy making
climate change
mobility
tax policy

sustainable recovery from the financial crisis
others?
WP2013 Objective 5.4
Expected impact
 Improved take up of policy making tools by decision
makers in public administrations
 Improved validation of the potential impacts of policies
through evidence
 Stronger evidence of productivity gains and reduction of
costs in the provision of public services
 Evidence of the younger generation contributing to
policy formation/development through social media
 Increased take up of open and public data for provision
of public services.
Key stakeholders
 Industry incl. SMEs
 Academic partners
 International organisations
 International technology leaders
 Policy Institutes
 Public administrations
 Civil society / Citizens/ NGOs/ Youth
Organisations
