ICT 2008 Open Call for Networking Session Proposals

ICT 2008The Networking Sessions at ICT 2008 complement the conference and exhibition and provide an open forum for exchanging views and ideas on how to address current ICT challenges. Networking sessions encourage forward-thinking collaborative initiatives that support the development of the European Research Area.

Networking sessions

  • provide a meeting place for communities that possibly never worked together before.
  • allow topic, format and content to be defined by stakeholders
  • complement the ICT 2008 conference and exhibition, by bringing together people interested in a specific topic to discuss project ideas, research activities or partnerships
  • are less formal discussion groups than the official conference sessions, encouraging active participation and lateral thinking
  • are open to everybody who wishes to attend.

Proposals for networking sessions are welcome in the following areas:

  • all scientific and technological subjects directly related to ICT;
  • all components of FP7 (Cooperation, Ideas, People and Capacities), CIP, as well as for relevant topics related to EU ICT policies, including lead markets and international cooperation, provided they meet certain criteria.

To set up a networking session at ICT 2008, you must first create an IS Portal events profile, which allows you to participate in a number of interactive modules on this website. Once you have created an events profile, follow the instructions on how to submit a networking proposal. The Networking Committee will select the most interesting proposals, in accordance with the networking selection criteria for ICT 2008, and in function of the time and facilities available during the Event.

The Networking Committee will make all arrangements concerning the scheduling , venue, etc. of networking sessions, which will be programmed over the three days of ICT 2008: 25th, 26th and 27th November 2008.
