Workshop @ ICT Event Vienna
Room L1, 05/12/2018 (09:00-09:45)
The proposed session is to promote international research & innovation (R&I) activities in H2020 and others via a formation of an EU – India Clustering partnership related to the use of IoT technologies for the enhancement of Smart Villages. The session will have the following objectives:
1. A short description of the EU-India FI-MEDIA project (supported by the Delegation of the European Union to India), detailing its mobility support available to create clustering partnerships between India and EU;
2. Bringing together decision makers from governments (mayors of smart cities and villages), R&I stakeholders to identify hot topics of both India and EU;
3. Mapping the IoT landscape in India and EU with a view to the building of a sustainable partnership covering the use of IoT for Smart Agri. This will capitalize on the work in both EU and India, including the H2020 IoT pilot in Farming, IoT Forum, AIOTI, M2M +IoT forum of India and the Delegation of the EU to India funded projects on ICT Standards, project SESEI (Seconded European Standardization Expert in India).
4. Identify interested parties via 1 minute pitches focusing on a. their expertise towards the development of IoT solutions to enable smart agriculture solutions improve the lives in villages; b. their already established connections, or desired new ones; c. need and requirements for EU-India cooperation in these topics with a view to forming clusters together, including consortia in EU and / or India funded calls.
