[Fiware-ga] Fwd: FI-PPP Phase 2 CONCORD in Phase 2

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear all,

  FYI.   Official announcement about changes in CONCORD which hopefully will improve overall performance of FI-PPP collaboration activities.

  You may notice that there is a reference to a FI-PPP Programme Week in June.   To the best of my knowledge, preparation of this event had never been discussed with us because, among other things, if it had been, I had immediately raised an issue on behalf of FI-WARE because June is definitively not the best dates (overlapping with our 2nd year official review and the delivery of the FI-WARE 2nd Release).    I have already raised this to CONCORD representatives and expect a rectification.

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo

Dear all,

As we are all getting ready to launch FI-PPP in Phase 2, I wanted to inform you of the following major changes taking place within CONCORD for Phase 2 activities.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me on any CONCORD-related matter. The below listed persons can also present further details on the current and coming activities of their related working areas.

We are also happy to contribute and present at your coming events

I will also be the main contact point for any on-going action points for CONCORD. I will report on their progress in my following messages.


  *   As indicated at the negotiation workshop, CONCORD has revisited its objectives, tools and structures to reflect the Fi-PPP Phase 2 activities. This means an overhaul of the CONCORD consortium and its ways of working to serve the FI-PPP at all levels.
  *   First, CONCORD now consists of five (5) member organizations: Aalto University, Eurescom, Zurcher Hochschule fur Angewandte Wissenschaft (ZHAW), iMinds and European Network of Living Labs (ENOLL). Each of these organizations is now positioned to best perform within CONCORD and for FI-PPP.
  *   Second, the following persons are responsible for managing, leading and facilitating CONCORD tasks for FI-PPP:
     *   FI-PPP Boards:
        *   Steering Board - David Kennedy (Eurescom),
        *   Architecture Board - Thomas Bohnert (ZHAW),
        *   Executive Industry Board - David Kennedy (Eurescom)
        *   Advisory Board - Petra Turkama (Aalto)
     *   FI-PPP Working Groups (WGs):
        *   Communications and Dissemination - Milon Gupta (Eurescom)
        *   Policy - Hans Schaffers (Aalto)
        *   Business Models and Exploitation - Pieter Ballon (iMinds)
        *   Standardisation - Thomas Bohnert (ZHAW)
  *   Third, CONCORD toolbox for FI-PPP, including IT tools, is being reformatted for FI-PPP information continuity purposes, due to some software license changes and to prepare for coming needs. A separate, detailed message will follow tomorrow about the CONCORD toolbox changes. Contact persons for details on IT changes will be: Juha Salo (Aalto: juha.salo at aalto.fi<mailto:juha.salo at aalto.fi>) and Klaas-Pieter Vlieg (Eurescom: vlieg at eurescom.eu<mailto:vlieg at eurescom.eu>).
  *   Fourth, CONCORD is arranging and planning for FI-PPP-wide events, FI-PPP Programme Weeks, to build the community and enable information sharing. The first meeting is being scheduled for 17-20 June in Berlin.

I trust that with the above changes gaining speed and momentum, CONCORD will be ideally positioned to fulfill its role for FI-PPP. Do not hesitate to contact me for any details and stay tuned for more information on the above topics.

Kind regards,
