FP impact on integration of the ERA
(more participants involved to reach critical mass)
 Concentration of research efforts through larger projects with
critical mass:
 Top-level scientists: e.g. six Nobel prize-winners involved in
FP6 fundamental genomics projects.
 ERA more attractive to researchers worldwide:

Call identifier: FP7-ICT-2007-2
Date of publication: 12 June 2007
Closure date: 9 October, 2007, at 17:00, Brussels local time
Indicative budget: 477 M€
Topics called:
Senigallia, 18 Giugno 2007
Challenge 1 – Pervasive and Trusted Network
and Service Infrastructures
The challenge is to deliver the next generation of ubiquitous and converged network and service
infrastructures for communication, computing and media. This entails overcoming the scalability,
flexibility, dependability and security bottlenecks, as today’s network and service architectures are
primarily static and able to support a limited number of devices, service features and limited
confidence. Such new infrastructures will permit the emergence of a large variety of business
models capable of dynamic and seamless end-to-end composition of resources across a multiplicity
of devices, networks, providers and service domains.

Senigallia, 18 Giugno 2007
Challenge 3 –
Components, systems, engineering - 1
The challenge is to strengthen Europe’s position as a leading supplier of electronic components and
systems. This will support the competitiveness of industrial strongholds such as automotive, avionics,
industrial automation, consumer electronics, telecoms and medical systems. In all these domains
Europe’s leadership depends heavily on the capacity to engineer and produce electronic components
and systems and to integrate these into products across all sectors. Furthermore, the social dimension
is not to be underestimated given the increasingly important role of electronics in the functioning of
modern society.

Challenge 5 – Towards sustainable and
personalised healthcare - 1
In this challenge support will go to highly interdisciplinary research aiming at:
 Improved productivity of healthcare systems21 by facilitating patient care at the point of
need, health information processing and quicker transfer of knowledge to clinical practice.
Continuous and more personalised care solutions, addressing the informed and
responsible participation of patients and their informal carers (family/friends) in care
processes, and responding to the needs of elderly people.
Savings in lives and resources by focusing on prevention and prediction rather than on
costly medical interventions after symptoms and diseases have developed.
Higher patient safety by optimising medical interventions and preventing errors.
Leadership of the eHealth and medical imaging/devices industry that is well rooted in
Europe, and attracting back to Europe research activities of the pharmaceutical industry.

personalised healthcare - 2
CALL 2: 5.3 Virtual Physiological Human
 Patient-specific computational modelling and simulation

Funding scheme: CP, NoE, CSA - Indicative budget distribution 72 M€
Senigallia, 18 Giugno 2007
Challenge 6 – ICT for mobility, environmental
sustainability and energy - 1
One major goal of this challenge is to achieve mobility in Europe that is virtually accident free, efficient,
adaptive, clean and comfortable. This includes reducing the energy consumed by transport with new ICT
technologies applied to vehicles, transport systems, logistics and traffic management.
Another major goal is to reap the benefits of ICT to optimise the use of natural resources throughout their
life cycles, including energy, to design smarter and cleaner processes with minimum waste, and to
contain environmental degradation and related threats on human lives, infrastructures and the
environment.

Senigallia, 18 Giugno 2007
Challenge 7 –
ICT for Indipendent Living and Inclusion
The objective is to respond to these trends by mainstreaming and radically improving the accessibility
and usability of new ICT solutions. This should ensure a better adoption and acceptance of ICT by
people with disabilities, functional limitations or lacking digital competences, and may have a large spillover effect to the wider society. In addition, new opportunities offered by ICTs will be exploited to help
offset the impact of the ageing population, significantly prolonging independent living and increasing
active participation in the economy and in society. Finally new ICT solutions for improving social cohesion
will be explored and developed.
CALL 2: 7.2 Accessible and Inclusive ICT:
 Advanced prototypes of systemic solutions for independent living and active
ageing
 Open systems reference architectures, standards and platforms
 RTD roadmaps and socio-economic research
 Contribution to standards setting, and strategic international cooperation with
US and Japan
