Objective
The ICT PSP supports the realisation of European policies and in particular the Digital agenda for Europe and is aligned with its priorities. It aims at stimulating smart sustainable and inclusive growth by accelerating the wider uptake and best use of innovative digital technologies and content by citizens, governments and businesses.
The ICT PSP covers technological and non-technological innovations that have moved beyond the final research demonstration phase. The ICT PSP does not support research activities; it may cover, when needed, technical adaptation and integration work in order to achieve the objectives.
WP 2013 focuses on 5 themes:
- Cloud of public services and smart cities
- Digital content, open data and creativity
- ICT for health, ageing well and inclusion
- Trusted eServices
- Open objective for innovation and other actions
- Preparatory actions for broadband roll-out
For details on the topics please see Annex.
Types of actions
There are four types of projects:
- Pilot A- building on initiatives in Member States or Associated Countries;
- Pilot B- stimulating the uptake of innovative ICT based services and products;
- Thematic Network (TN) - providing a forum for stakeholders for experience exchange and consensus building;
- Best Practice Network (BPN) – exclusively for Theme 2 to support sharing of best practices in this field
