On Thursday, Jan 22, the ICT researchers and innovative companies are going to meet at a large event in Budapest. The ICT Proposers Day organised by the European Commission’s Information Society and Media Directorate-General, in cooperation with the Hungarian National Office for Research and Technology, should help them to form FP7 consortia for the 4th upcoming call and especially the SMEs from Centrope countries have a unique chance to network with their peers.

Already now you can browse research ideas on the web and add your own presentation  (by Monday noon). I may attend for example Computational trust and reputation management, CrowdSourcing with Logica or Advanced Social Networks covering projects integrating social excluded groups, a new generation of on-line games, education & training and content aware networks & network aware applications.

If you are coming to Budapest, let me know at vesely@park.cz and we could have coffee together while discussing how CITT can help you to find the right partner in the region. Moreover it’s always nice to see faces behind your comments.

  • How was the conference? Are there concrete results? Was it an interesting event for enterprises in search of partners? How many visitors have been there? Unfortunately I did not have enough time to participate as well but I would have liked to!
  • Bernhard, it was actually not a conference and rather a networking event for potential partners of the FP7 ICT project proposals. The outcome is the question for participating research teams.

    I personally expected a larger number of small businesses. But I can speak only from own experience in about two parallel sessions. Some of the rooms (all of the same size) were overcrowded (for example challenge 1) while some others were half-empty.

    I'm sure it's not easy to manage the balance. We should be careful about that when organising the Brno Brokerage Event in April.
