The 3rd Japan EU Symposium on the "New Generation Network" and the "Future Internet"

The Finnish Minister of Communication, Suvi Lindén will open the 3rd EU-Japan Symposium on Future Internet and New Generation Networks on October 20, 2010 in Tampere, Finland.

Venue: Scandic Hotel Rosendahl, Pyynikintie 13, 33230 Tampere, Finland

The Commission services would like to explore, with the support of the relevant research communities, the possibilities to implement concrete joint research activities with the participation of Japanese organisations in the context of the FP7 ICT Work Programme 2011-2012. This will be the focus of the 3rd EU-Japan Symposium on Future Internet and New Generation Networks (NWGN), which will take place in Tampere, Finland on 20-21 October 2010.

Opportunities to visit some research centres involved in the development of advanced networked technologies and services will be offered by the Finnish hosts on Friday, 22 October.

The Symposium is intended to facilitate interactions between the European and Japanese participants. The target outcome of the Symposium sessions will be the identification of a number of potential proposals to be submitted under the forthcoming "Challenge 1" related calls of the ICT Work Programme 2011-2012, in particular calls 7 and 8. In this context, European participants to the event are invited to make a five minute presentation (2 to 3 slides) outlining their views on topics where they would be willing to team up with Japanese partner(s). Japanese participants to the event will make similar short presentations, outlining their research interests and the type of activities where they would welcome partnership with European actors. Following these presentations, about half of the remaining session time will be devoted to more interactive discussions between potential  partners.
Discussions and interaction will be organised in four parallel tracks over the two days, addressing the following topics:
- Internet / Network Architectures
- Test Beds
- Network / Computation Service Platforms
- Mobility and Green
