How can the Future Internet truly contribute making a global sustainable future? This question will be at the core of the activities that PARADISO will develop in the next two years.

I am very glad today to invite you to join this initiative that the Club of Rome and Sigma Orionis have launched in 2007 with the support of the European Commission. Please visit the PARADISO web site (http://www.paradiso-fp7.eu) that we have significantly updated in order that any interested individuals and organisations can better understand what we aim to achieve and how to get involved in our activities.

Should you plan to attend the European Commission’s ICT event of Sept. 27-29 in Brussels, meet us at the PARADISO exhibition booth and at the “networking session” we are organising on the theme ”Internet Science”.

We need your inputs, particularly to fine-tune the recommendations that PARADISO will prepare for the next European Commission’s research-funding programme (FP8).

Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions you may have or further information you may need.

ABOUT FIS2010

The Future Internet Symposium (FIS) is a venue for European and international researchers to share their work on next generation Internet technologies. FIS is a scientific forum for the European Union's Future Internet Initiative, an effort to align European Internet research on the shared challenges presented by Europe's increasingly Internet-based society and economy. FIS is intended to bridge traditional disciplinary boundaries of Internet research, emphasizing the use of machine understandable semantics to enable diverse communities, devices, and organizational groupings to share Internet resources. An additional and equally important role for the Future Internet Symposium is to be a home for the Future Internet community. In this respect the Symposium will serve the interest of the emerging community and foster new researchers (PhD students and fresh Post-docs) as they progress to become the new leaders in this emerging field. Finally, the Symposium will co-operate fully with other initiatives in the area of the Future Internet, especially those within the European Arena.
