EPoSS Sessions
13 March 2013, 10:45-12:25
EPoSS Session I:
A new Strategic
Research Agenda for Smart Systems Integration: Markets, Technologies, Processes
The new EPoSS Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) has been developed using a rigorous process that involved
- a large-scale Smart Systems stakeholder survey asking about markets served, technologies used, turnover and headcount, funding and grants, drivers, difficulties, support and assistance
- in-depth expert surveys and interviews for each application sector, technology and production process
- a series of expert workshops on timelines, impact, SWOT and priority setting.
In this first EPoSS Session, co-developers and supporters from key industries will present the first draft of the new EPoSS SRA in their own application sectors. Participants are invited to discuss, comment upon and contribute actively to the SRA.
13 March 2013, 13:30 – 15:35
EPoSS Session II:
Implementing the
New EPoSS SRA: Policy Recommendations and Industrial Roll-out
In order for the whole Smart Systems ecosystem to take maximum advantage of the SRA for Smart Systems Integration, EPoSS is implementing a multi-strand approach for its roll-out, covering
- funding programmes at the level of EU, national and regional authorities,
- the R&D&I level of all stakeholder organisations, from SMEs and large industry to public research and academia,
- all steps of the Smart Systems value chain, from design to manufacture,
- the level of skills development, e.g. through education, training and expert exchange
This second EPoSS Session will include presentations on
- Smart Systems as part of Horizon 2020 and targeted support measures such as the European Green Vehicles Initiative,
- reaching out to and engaging with national and regional authorities and with Smart Systems clusters and networks,
- maximising interaction with stakeholders - from those already involved in Smart Systems, e.g. in EU-funded take-up projects - to new user communities, such as the service industries and the flexible, organic and large-area electronics community.
