| Brussels (Belgium) - December 4, 2008 |
The "2nd EU-Korea ICT Cooperation Seminar" was organized in the continuity of the "2nd EU-Korea Cooperation Forum on ICT Research" held on December 1-2, 2008 at the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel (Brussels, Belgium) and under the aegis of the European Commission (EC, DG INFSO) and the Ministry of Knowledge Economy of the Republic of Korea (MKE, ROK) with the support of the COJAK FP7/ICT Project coordinated by Sigma Orionis. The objective of this working seminar was to pave the way for a strengthened cooperation between the EU and the ROK on ICT research, particularly under the FP7 research funding program. It has been considered as relevant to organize such "EU-Korea ICT Cooperation Seminars" on a regular basis (more or less every 6 months), in order to address the cooperation framework itself, to discuss what could be done to make it more favorable, and to allow a smooth development of the cooperation projects that European and Korean organizations will choose to develop. This second edition will thus be followed in some months from now by a third edition, organized again (as the 1st one) in South Korea. Among issues that were discussed during this 2nd out of three seminars the following can be listed: Information - How can we better improve the information flow between organizations from both regions - among them South Korean Universities and SMEs - interested in cooperation opportunities? Funding - What solutions would be appropriate to ensure that an organization from South Korea participating in a FP7 project - reciprocally a European organization participating in a Korea-funded project - can be funded? Connection - Since cooperation starts with connections, which connection opportunities could be usefully provided to organizations from both sides (forums, focused workshops, online facilities, etc.)? Other issues - Are there any other problems related to the cooperation framework that could be usefully tackled? Contact |
