Upcoming Events

Future Internet Assembly Aalborg, 10-11 May 2012, Aalborg, Denmark

The Future Internet Assembly (FIA) will be held on May 10-11, 2012 under the Presidency of Denmark in the EU Council. The theme for FIA-Aalborg will be "Smart Cities and “Internet of Things" and will bring together projects that have recognised the need to strengthen European activities on the Future Internet to maintain European competitiveness in the global marketplace. Currently FIA brings together research projects that are part of the ICT programme of FP7. All of these projects are advancing the state of the art in their respective areas and FIA enables open interactions and cross-fertilization across the technical domains, reaching out to talent in Europe's Future Internet research community.

FIA is THE place for fundamental discussions supported by working groups, such as the architecture of the Future Internet or a roadmap for research in Horizon 2020 (the new name for FP8). But there is also place for one-off discussions around recent trends that when properly understood by projects will make their results more competitive and more ready for commercial exploitation. Think for instance about HTML5 and mobile computing using tablets. Does your project already understand what these cool technologies can bring?
