Hi all, Futura Networks will send an email with further details, but let me briefly describe what they have proposed and we need to approve this week. As you know, there were aprox. 870 KEUR in prizes to be consumed until end of the proyect. Of these 870 KEUR, 17.500EUR were consumed in Campus Party Europe in London (2.500 EUR of one of the special awards were not given away). The idea is now to launch a number of challenges which will be run along a number of months. We would start launching two thematic challenges, one focused on Smart Cities and another one focused on Smart Businesses. The two challenges would be launched this week and we would define a deadline (mid November) to collect proposals. Proposers who accompany their ideas with proof of concepts developed on FI-LAB, etc will be given preference. In December we would select 20 proposals for each of the challenges and we will invite two people of each of the selected teams to travel to the Campus Party Brasil, early February 2014. The selected teams attending the Campus Party Brasil event will run a final there so that the final prizes are given away: * 1st prize: 75 KEUR * 2nd prize: 40 KEUR * third prize: 20 KEUR * two additional special awards (e.g., "Young developer"): 5.000 EUR each During the Campus Party Brasil event we would launch the second round of challenges, targeted to be given away at the Campus Party Europe (most likely to take place in Spain during July 2014). A similar schema would be followed. We would define an interim milestone to select the 40 best proposals and pay them the travel expenses to Campus Party Europe where a final would take place. There are several options for this second round of challenges, we may go for thematic challenges (we didn't have too appealing themes) or we may go for a big contest to be referred as "FI-WARE Excellence Awards" (with total 290KEUR in prizes) where there would not be restriction about the theme to be addressed and focus would be given on finding the applications that make best usage of FI-WARE technologies. Another possibility is to find another two thematic challenges, or do a mix: run one thematic challenge and one "FI-WARE Excellenge Awards" (in this case, each with 145 KEUR in prizes). Personally, I would go fo a single challenge on "FI-WARE Excellence Awards" with total 290 KEUR in prizes, but your feedback is welcome. The launch of the first two challenges on Smart Cities and Smart Businesses (with 145 KEUR in prizes each) look more clear to me and, since we are running a bit out of time, I would go for advertising them at the Campusero Community this Thursday 17:00 unless anyone has an objection.
