Komissio esitteli tulevaisuuden internet -strategiaa
Euroopan komission tietoyhteiskunnan ja median pääosasto on päättänyt panostaa tulevaisuuden internetin (Future Internet) tutkimusalueelle 300 miljoonaa euroa seuraavan kolmen vuoden aikana.
Lokakuussa julkaistun tiedonannon mukaan komissio aikoo rahoittaa summalla teollisuusvetoisen Future Internet -sektorin ja julkisten toimijoiden yhteistyötä.
Suomalaisten osuus tulevaisuuden internetin kehittämisessä on merkittävä. Tieto- ja viestintäteollisuuden ja palveluiden strategisen huippuosaamisen keskittymän Future Internet -tutkimusohjelman lisäksi muutkin keskittymän ohjelmat ovat tukeneet vahvasti komissiossa tehtäviä linjauksia. Järjestetyn keskustelutilaisuuden tavoitteena oli antaa palautetta ja sisältöä komission tulevaisuuden internet -aihepiiriä koskevalle strategialle.
Komissio valmistelee parhaillaan myös tutkimuksen seitsemännen puiteohjelman ICT-aihealueen työohjelmaa vuosille 2011-2013. Myös vuonna 2014 alkavan kahdeksannen puiteohjelman suuntaviivojen suunnittelu on alkanut.

ICT SHOK Future Internet Programme Launched
16 June 08 - ICT SHOK Future Internet research programme has been launched. The new programme is a joint research programme of a range of leading ICT companies and Finnish research institutions and universities. The programme is exceptionally big in Finland. In first year alone there are already 50 person-years of work allocated for the project.
The aim of the project is to overcome the challenges presented by the constant growth of the Internet and the Internet research in Finland to reach the level of the top of international research. In order to reach this goal the universities, research institutes and companies are investing exceptionally large funds and human resources in the project.
The current partners include Nokia, Ericsson, Nokia Siemens Networks, TeliaSonera and CSC – the Finnish IT center for science. Research institutes and universities currently involved are University of Helsinki, University of Jyväskylä, Tampere Technical University, Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki Institute for Information Technology (HIIT) and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland.
New partners can still enroll in the project. Small and medium-sized industrial enterprises especially are expected to join the program in the first years.
The research project seeks solutions to the obstacles currently hindering the development of the Future Internet. These problems include, for example, spam and viruses, congestion of routing, privacy, and traffic control limitations. Removing these obstacles creates the basis for the development of Future Internet as an open marketplace where new innovations and applications can flourish.
Future Internet programme is the first project to reach kick-off stage within the ICT cluster of the Finnish Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation (ICT SHOK). SHOKs are a new funding instrument by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation, TEKES.
During the the formation of the current government of Finland, founding of altogether five SHOKs was decided upon - ICT SHOK is one of the five. Within the SHOKs, companies, universities and research institutes combine forces to form very large volume research projects, where Finnish know-how is taken to world class level.
