Ideal-ist will be present at THE Europe's biggest research event for information and communication technologies

The ICT Event is organised by the European Commission’s Directorate General Information Society and Media and hosted by the French Presidency of the European Union.

 "I" is for "information and communications technology", "I" is for...

  • Inventing the Future: ICT technologies for the future
  • Innovative Europe: new markets, new sectors, new players
  • Impact through Policy


Because there is an important demand of efficient ICT technologies, the ICT conference will gather researchers, leading visionaries from academia, industries and innovators as well as business decision-makers working in the field of digital technologies to talk. Diverse topics will be treated such as Europe’s role in shaping the future internet, ICTs contribution to advancing the sustainability agenda and alternative research paths for future ICT technologies, components and systems.

Indeed, discussing about the future technological evolution is essential as major transformations will happen in the next decade within the technological, industrial and business landscapes surrounding information and communication technologies (ICT). At the same time, other cutting-edge themes will be also explored at ICT 2008.

In 2008, the ICT Event will present Europe’s future priorities for research funding in the ICT area, examine crucial issues of public policy for stimulating innovation through ICT development and uptake and also create opportunities to establish research area business partnerships and simply keep up to date in what is happening in various ICT research fields.

Three main points will be at the heart of all the attention and will beat the rhythm of these 3 days event.

The conference

This time, the ICT event wanted to focus on the “I”, first letter of the three main words or giving an open “eye” to the future:

Inventing the future
Innovative Europe and
Impact through Policy

The exhibition

Exhibitors at ICT 2008 will be selected following a call for proposals, which is now published! Submit your proposal directly through the website. The selection Committee will announce the successful candidates approximately two months after the call for proposals closes.

The exhibition will allow:

the cutting-edge ICT research from European labs
the inventive market solutions from French and international industry
an "innovator village" focusing on successful small and medium-sized enterprises
and finally, the participation by European venture capitalists

Networking

ICT 2008 will provide opportunities to meet and discuss possible research activities with potential partners interested in similar areas of work. Networking sessions are specifically designed to facilitate such contacts and have always been very attractive. Over 300 suggestions for networking sessions were received for IST 2006, of which over 100 eventually took place.

    By participating to the networking, you will have the opportunity to express yourselves and demonstrate your proposals or your opinion:
