ICT10 (2015) - Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation

• Tap the innovation potential of bottom-up solutions based on collective intelligence in multiple fields related to sustainability and social innovation

• Demonstrate the innovative combination of network solutions (social networks, sensor networks, knowledge co-creation networks)

• Involve new actors and stimulate interdisciplinary collaborations on concrete application areas investigating innovative applications of the network effect

• Leverage on these experiments to get a better understanding of the underlying techno-social issues which are key for the networked society, such as motivations, reputation, identity, privacy, network neutrality, new economic models

• Explore and open up new innovation possibilities whose expected return cannot easily be quantified in GDP or traditional terms

ICT10 - Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation – Approach:

• Sustainability as a goal– beyond GDP, Low Carbon economy, natural resources, social justice,

social inclusion– Grounded on real communities of people and real challenges

• Behavioural change– sustainability-aware decisions– at personal, collective and corporate levels– Self-regulation based on collective awareness

• Bottom-up– grounded on open data, open source and open hardware

innovation paradigms

• Beyond commercially-driven platforms– That can produce new business models

and (social) innovation

• Harnessing the ICT network effect– Crowdsourcing, crowdfunding– to achieve collective intelligence

ICT10 - Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation

To harness the collaborative power of ICT networks to create collective awareness of sustainability threats and enable collective solutionsa) Collective awareness pilots for bottom-up participatory

innovation paradigms (R&I small actions – 24 M€)b) Multidisciplinary research on collective awareness

platforms (Internet Science) (R&I small actions – 4 M€)c) Digital Social Platforms (R&I small actions – 7 M€)d) Coordinating activities in CAPs (CSAs – 1 M€)

CAPS called first time in Call 10: 105 proposals, >600 participants, half of them new to ICT, 17:1 oversubscription for STREPs

ICT10 differences: more budget for STREPs, including Internet Science, including Digital Social Platforms, more focused on cross-areas applications, multidisciplinary requirements (2 non-ICT partners)

CAPS in FP7: 10 projects launched on 1/10/2013including CAP2020 coordination action, bridging to new projects

1 Study on Digital Social Innovation (DSI)to map new actors in DSI

eg. How is it new / different from previous calls

Are there any ongoing projects that are serving as a “bridge” between FP7 and H2020

3. Current project portfolio (if relevant)

eg. Please mention some highly relevant projects …Is there an overview of current portfolio?Your assessment of EU13 participation?

4. What do we NOT want?

• proposals without a clear existing (and physical) community of motivated users

• proposals technology-driven, or aiming at purely commercial solutions

• consortia without at least two partners which are focused on non-ICT disciplines

- Key actors5. Who are the leading players?

NGOs (e.g. NESTA engaged since long time in Social Innovation activities), civil societymultidisciplinary academia/research centersmostly small actors: SMEs, local communities, studentssee www.digitalsocial.eu (study on DSI)

6. Is there a key group of actors or ETP driving this?No. This is by definition a bottom-up, emergent area, being mapped by the DSI study
