State of the Union Address by President Junker (2017)

[…]: I want us to better protect Europeans in the digital age.

Over the past years, we have made marked progress in keeping Europeans safe online. New rules, put forward by the Commission, will protect our intellectual property, our cultural diversity and our personal data. We have stepped up the fight against terrorist propaganda and radicalisation online. But Europe is still not well equipped when it comes to cyber-attacks.

Cyber-attacks can be more dangerous to the stability of democracies and economies than guns and tanks. Last year alone there were more than 4,000 ransomware attacks per day and 80% of European companies experienced at least one cyber-security incident.

Cyber-attacks know no borders and no one is immune. This is why, today, the Commission is proposing new tools, including a European Cybersecurity Agency, to help defend us against such attacks.

The EU fostering a shared vision on sustainable urban development

EIP for Smart Cities and Communities was introduced by EC Com 4701/2012

To mobilise the main actors across the areas of Energy, Transport and ICT.

EIP bringing together cities and industry, to design a sustainable smart city market combining both the demand and the supply side perspectives.

10

• PRIORITY AREAS:

o The Strategic Implementation Plan set up 11 priority areas to develop smarter cities

11

Digital transformation of Cities also means more data and more availability to data

The "Building the Data Economy" initiative launched by the Commission on 10 January 2017 aims to address the issues of data ownership, (re)usability, access, interoperability and access conditions to the data market.

Data coming from smart appliances, sensors, actuators, energy grids, transport or telecom system

data should also be accessible for innovative research and commercial exploitation

12

a shared and most cost-effective solution;

avoiding barriers such as vendor lock-in or non-

interoperable protocols is needed

CE (DG CNECT) has headed the development of a

common energy ontology for smart appliances called

SAREF

allowing appliances and systems from different

suppliers to interoperate. It is being extended to

other domains like smart public light systems

HORIZON 2020

What is Horizon 2020? A single programme:

• Around €79 billion Funding Program for Research and Innovation (2014 - 2020)

• 28 EU Member States plus 16 Associated Countries

• A response to economic crisis by investing in future jobs and growth: Coupling research to innovation – 'from research to retail'

• Addressing people's concerns about their livelihoods, safety and environment i.e. Focus on societal challenges : e.g. aging, clean energy and transport

• Open to participation by companies, universities and institutes in EU & beyond

• Multiple Year Work Programmes, (2+2+3y) identifying research areas to be funded

• Open calls for proposals: International & independent peer-review

Horizon 2020 – Work Programme 2018-20 22 Call topics encouraging cooperation with Japan

• Excellent collaboration on ICT with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) and the National Institute of Information and Communication Technologies (NICT).

• Three joint calls on future networks have been carried out so far. Since 2013, 15 joint projects have been launched covering future networks topics (over €21M funding from each side).

• Work Programme 2018-2020: • EUJ-01: Advanced technologies (Security/Cloud/IoT/BigData) for a

hyper-connected society in the context of Smart City

• EUJ-02: 5G and beyond

Coordinated calls with Japan

EU-Japan Coordinated Calls so far in IoT and Smart Cities

Coordinated EU-Japan call 2018 EUJ-01-2018 Advanced technologies (Security/Cloud/IoT/BigData) for a

hyper-connected society in the context of Smart City

• Scope (1): Advanced technologies combining Security, IoT, Cloud and Big Data for a hyper-connected society (one project to be funded by EU+NICT). The focus is to research, develop and test advanced technologies combining Security, IoT, Cloud and Big data.

• Scope (2): Interoperable technologies of IoT devices/platforms in the context of Smart Cities (one project to be funded by EU+MIC). The focus is to research, develop and test interoperable technologies of IoT devices/platforms in the context of Smart Cities. A further objective is to contribute to standardization activities under the cooperation of EU-JP research institutes and IoT-related consortia (e.g. the Alliance for IoT Innovation (AIOTI) -EU and IoT Acceleration Consortium - Japan), and promote a global expansion of research results in Smart Cities.

• Challenge: to address enhanced security and privacy and how the human user deals with the ever-increasing amount of sensors, smart objects and data.

• Impact: Credible demonstrations; Concrete implementations of interoperable solutions; facilitation of the development of cloud-enabled, secure and trustworthy IoT/big data applications; promotion of the use of data related to Smart Cities and the creation of new increasingly efficient services in urban and regional administrative management; joint contributions to standardization activities

EUJ-01-2018: Type of Action & Budget Type of Action: Research and Innovation Action (RIA)

2 projects will be funded – one in each scope

Total EU budget for EUJ-01: €3M

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU up to EUR 1.5 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately by one project of EUR 1.5 million in each of the suggested areas (Scope 1, 2). Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.

H2020-EUJ-01-2018: Opening date: 31 October 2017

Deadline: 31 January 2018 @17h00 (Brussels time)

Japanese consortia should apply through NICT channel:
