Project aim:
COSINE aims to improve contacts of Embedded Systems programme managers and policy makers. It will analyse existing national activities with respect to target groups, participation, instruments and study barriers for trans-national co-operation.
The project will also focus on future strategies for Embedded Systems RTD programme activities in Europe based on integrating existing background studies, fill in gaps in the existing material, and compare it to extra-EU activities. It will interlink national policy makers, programme managers, and European Commission and industry groups to jointly exploit the potential for synergies of Embedded Systems RTD policies in Europe.
COSINE aims at devising a medium-term plan for enhanced co-operation of national activities and supports the design of policies for Technology Platforms.
