- 20. Changes in contents Future Internet: convergence vs software focus • Convergence – Specific focus in Call 1 and Call 5 – More orientation towards network communications and media – Involvement of other communities • Software – ‘Old’ issues are still relevant issues – ‘New’ issues? – Majority of existing constituency
- 21. Changes in contents Cloud Computing: research vs practice • Research – Open issues – Timing • Practice – Industry reality – What’s in it for Europe? http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/ssai/events-20100126-cloud-computing_en.html http://www.economist.com/displaystory.cfm?story_id=14637206
- 22. Changes in contents Software Engineering: innovative vs traditional • Innovative – Ever changing topics – Finding new green pastures – Supporting creation new industry and markets • Traditional – ‘Old’ issues are still relevant issues – Solving industry’s main problems – Upholding the incumbents
- 23. Changes in contents New ideas beyond the horizon • ???? • Multi-core programming • Energy-efficiency • Smart XYZ
- 24. Changes in contents Some considerations • Treaty – “To increase competitiveness of European industry” • vs – ‘Highly innovative’ research – ‘Me too’ research – ‘Same old’ research – ‘Creative destruction’ research
- 25. Changes in contents Some considerations • Treaty – “To increase competitiveness not enough; “Knowing is of European industry” we must apply. Willing is not enough; • vs we must do.” – ‘Highly innovative’ research – ‘Me too’ research – ‘Same old’ research – ‘Creative destruction’ research

- 28. Culture The good, the bad, and the ugly The Missionary The Mercenary
- 29. Culture The good, the bad, and the ugly What the missionaries say and don’t say: • “All projects end successfully” • “We need more money” • Facilitates cooperation and research across EU borders • Supports European research community, ERA • Targets EU industry competitiveness • Some success stories
- 30. Culture The good, the bad, and the ugly What the mercenaries say and don’t say: • “All projects end successfully” • “We need more money” • Proposal phase strategies • Disappointing results • Exploitation below potential
- 31. Culture The good, the bad, and the ugly What EC says and doesn’t say: • “All projects end successfully” • “We need more money” • Results are due to evaluators and/or reviewers and thanks to <fill in favourite here>… • Business as usual • Reputation risk
- 32. Culture The good, the bad, and the ugly Taking into account • “There is no point telling the devil he’s bad” • Co-dependence and co-evolution Some suggestions • Not everything can be successful – Annual termination of worst project(s) – Distribute savings among the best project(s) • Getting the “right” proposals (kind of tricky) – “Interpret WP” with workshops – “Focus WP” by summarising domain / workshops – Spread the word • Do not favour the incumbents – Stop “counselling” process after call is opened – Technology providers as technology providers, not end users • Instruct evaluators in evaluation criteria interpretation – Do not overly penalise on “correctable” issues – Let a hundred flowers blossom • Get serious or get out
- 33. And now what? WE have a problem! What are YOU going to do about it?
- 34. Conclusions Research means change so research means change • Research is a means to an end • Research modalities change to (better) reach the ends • What research contents is needed to reach the ends? • How to address cultural issues? • Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do
