 The EU Information Society Technologies Programme Advisory Group - ISTAG
Similarly, ISTAG has not strongly supported proposals for European Technology Platforms (ETP) as a suitable instrument to structure research and innovation in the ICT area in FP7, although they are supported by industries with a different structure, such as aerospace.
The topics for working groups are established by the commission in consultation with the chairman, although as ISTAG gains confidence through working together they are beginning to propose topics themselves (eg to address legal issues potentially arising from ICT research).
The three topics addressed by working groups in 2003 reflected three stages in the innovation cycle: IST Research Content which mainly developed the Ambient Intelligence vision to guide the structure of future work programmes; the implementation issues of Human resources, research infrastructures, funding mechanisms and partnership; the exploitation of research results.
