1 ISTAG Working Group on "Grand Challenges in the Evolution of the Information Society" FET 7FP Workshop, 21 April, Brussels, DFKI

2 ISTAG Working Group on "Grand Challenges in the Evolution of the Information Society" MISSION OF THE WORKING GROUP: to identify major new grand S&T challenges related to ICTs; to discuss the scientific, commercial and social importance and legal and ethical implications of these grand challenges to draw major basic research directions in ICTs and related sciences for addressing the above new grand S&T challenges. to design a roadmap with milestones showing how these grand challenges can be tackled in a staged approach to perform a preliminary portfolio analysis capturing Europe s competitive starting position for tackling these grand challenges compared to the North America and Asia.
