项目摘要

The significant business opportunities to be gained through introducing new applications and services are driving the world's telecommunications engineers to develop and introduce innovative, cutting edge solutions at a rapid pace. To maintain Europe's leading position in the highly competitive telecommunications market requires significant strategic investment in research and development (R&D) in support of co-operative, inter-disciplinary partnerships between industry, public authorities, small-medium enterprises, research centres and academia. This is underlined by the European Union's (EU's) launch of FP7, under which in the region of 12.67 billion (about 8.5 billion) of public money will be invested in R&D into Information and Communication Technology (ICT) over the period 2007-2013. The total budget for all activities under FP7 is 72.726 billion (in the region of 49 billion), underlining the EU's commitment to construct a world-leading knowledge society. Prior to FP7, the European Commission's (EC's) Framework Programmes, which began in 1984, have lasted for five-year periods, with the start of a new framework overlapping the end of its predecessor by one year. FP7 is organised into four programmes, corresponding to: Cooperation; Ideas; People; and Capacities. The Cooperation programme provides the focus for pan-European collaborative research projects and networks. A new approach under FP7 is the European Technology Platform initiative, which is intended to engage all stakeholders within an area of technology that is of particular relevance to European growth and competitiveness. Technology Platforms are intended to be industry-led and have the objectives of defining the medium to long-term direction of research policy to meet the needs of industry and to mobilise the required human and financial resources. To date, 30 European Technology Platforms are under development including: The Mobile and Wireless Communications Technology Platform (eMobility), Networked and Electronic Media (NEM) and The Integral Satcom Initiative (ISI). The investigators have already attended preliminary meetings of these two platform initiatives, facilitated through limited internal funding, and have ambitions to become involved in the writing of proposals associated with them, as well as in other areas covered by the Calls for Proposals.The investigators are leading members of the Mobile and Satellite Communications Research Centre (MSCRC), which provides a research base for ten academic staff and in the region of 50 researchers. Many members of the Centre have been involved in European collaborative research for more than a decade, spanning four frameworks. During this time, European funding has been the lifeblood of the investigators. For the investigators and fellow members of the MSCRC to continue to develop and work at an international level, it is essential that the foundations laid by the investigators during the previous Frameworks are built upon through participation in FP7 Calls for Proposals. The enlargement of the EU, together with EC policy initiatives aimed at establishing a European Research Area, have resulted in a significant growth in the number of organisations that are able to participate in EC Framework Programmes. Consequently, European collaborative research now often brings together organisations that have not previously collaborated and, in this respect, the need to participate at information events and meet with potential partners is more important than ever. The purpose of this proposal is to request travel support for the investigators and fellow MSCRC members to facilitate participation in the FP7 Calls, spanning the period 1 April 2007- 31 March 2008. The research areas will include mobile, broadband, satellite and e- technologies, in agreement with the FP7 work programme.

通过推出新的应用和服务获得的巨大商机正在推动世界各地的电信工程师快速开发和推出创新的尖端解决方案。为了保持欧洲在竞争激烈的电信市场的领先地位，需要在研发(R&D)方面进行大量战略投资，以支持工业界、公共当局、中小型企业、研究中心和学术界之间的合作、跨学科伙伴关系。这一点在欧洲联盟(欧盟)启动的项目7中得到了强调，根据该项目，在2007-2013年期间，将有126.7亿欧元(约合85亿美元)的公共资金投资于信息和通信技术的研发。项目7项下所有活动的预算总额为727.26亿欧元(约490亿欧元)，强调欧盟致力于建设一个世界领先的知识社会。在“方案纲要”7之前，欧洲委员会的框架方案始于1984年，为期五年，新框架的开始与前一个框架的结束重叠了一年。项目7分为四个方案，分别对应于：合作、想法、人员和能力。合作方案为泛欧合作研究项目和网络提供了重点。欧洲技术平台倡议是《欧洲技术平台倡议》的一项新办法，其目的是让所有利益攸关方参与与欧洲增长和竞争力特别相关的技术领域。技术平台的目的是由行业主导，目标是确定研究政策的中长期方向，以满足行业的需要，并调动所需的人力和财政资源。到目前为止，30个欧洲技术平台正在开发中，包括：移动和无线通信技术平台(EMobility)、网络和电子媒体(NEM)和综合卫星通信倡议(ISI)。调查人员已经参加了这两个平台倡议的初步会议，通过有限的内部资金提供便利，并雄心勃勃地参与与它们相关的提案的撰写，以及提案呼吁涵盖的其他领域。调查人员是移动和卫星通信研究中心(MSCRC)的主要成员，该中心为10名学术人员和50名研究人员提供了一个研究基地。该中心的许多成员十多年来一直参与欧洲的合作研究，涉及四个框架。在此期间，欧洲的资金一直是调查人员的命脉。为了让调查人员和MSCRC的其他成员继续在国际一级发展和工作，至关重要的是，调查人员在前几个框架期间奠定的基础必须通过参与《全球倡议》第7次征求建议书而建立起来。欧盟的扩大，加上旨在建立欧洲研究区的欧共体政策倡议，导致能够参与欧共体框架方案的组织数量显著增加。因此，欧洲的合作研究现在经常将以前从未合作过的组织聚集在一起，在这方面，参与信息活动并与潜在合作伙伴会面的必要性比以往任何时候都更加重要。这项提议的目的是请求为调查人员和MSCRC其他成员提供差旅支助，以便利他们参加2007年4月1日至2008年3月31日期间举行的第七次会议。研究领域将包括移动、宽带、卫星和电子技术，这与《全球移动通信方案》7的工作方案相一致。
