Hi all, I was yesterday at the FET Info day of the proactive initiative "Simulating Emergent Properties in Complex Systems" http://www.cordis.lu/ist/fet/co.htm
I met some people, but the project perspectives are rather vague... It seems that everyone there (including me) was looking for someone who would be willing to do the administration of a project... Well, people who have already projects underway didn't go to the Info Day... Because of this, I will send Ralph Dum a brief summary of what we could contribute, and he would forward it to these consortia that are already formed. Other opportunities I learned about: I met Licia Calvi, from the Centrum voor Usability Onderzook at KUL, and she told me that another funding opportunity is from: http://www.ibbt.be deadlines of submission in October. It was originally for Broadband technology, but it has now (national) projects of many Internet-related stuff. The site http://www.ideal-ist.net/ helps to find suitable EU project partners (although in FP7 there will be the possiblity of submitting projects without partners... but that's in 2007) At http://www.ipr-helpdesk.org/index.htm they give free legal advice on EU-project-related stuff, and have interesting news of opportunities...
