EU-AIOTI

RFSAT Limited has joined the EU Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI).

The Alliance for the Internet of Things (AIOTI) was launched by the European Commission and various key IoT players. The AIOTI aims to give EU the lead in the Internet of Things (IoT) field creating a dynamic European IoT ecosystem. The Alliance for Internet of Things Innovation (AIOTI) was recently initiated by the European Commission in order to develop and support the dialogue and interaction among Internet of Things (IoT) various players. The overall goal of the establishment of the AlOTI is the creation of a dynamic European IoT ecosystem to unleash the potentials of the IoT.

The AIOTI will assist the European Commission in the preparation of future IoT research as well as innovation and standardisation policies. It is also going to play an essential role in the designing of IoT Large Scale Pilots, which will be funded by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The members of AlOTI will jointly work on the creation of a dynamic European IoT ecosystem. This ecosystem is going to build on the work of the IoT Research Cluster (IERC) and spill over innovation across industries and business sectors of IoT transforming ideas to solutions.

ENISA-NIS

RFSAT Limited has joined the NIS Platform of the EU Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA).

The establishment of the NIS Public-Private Platform was announced in the Cyber-security Strategy of the European Union. It shares the same objective as the Cyber-security Strategy and the NIS Directive, i.e. to foster the resilience of the networks and information systems which underpin the services provided by market operators and public administrations in Europe. The NIS Platform will help implement the measures set out in the NIS Directive and ensure its convergent and harmonised application across the EU. The work of the Platform will draw from international standards and best practices.

FP7-ICT-PSP Europeana Space ProjectOn the 3rd of October 2014 RFSAT Ltd has joined the FP7-ICT-PSP Best Practice Network "Europeana Space" funded by the Competitiveness and innovation framework programme (CIP)of the FP7 Framework Program.

The objective of the Europeana Space project is to increase and enhance the creative industries' use of Europeana by delivering a range of resources to support their engagement. The use of Europeana by the creative industries is still limited by factors including issues around the IPR status of content and the need for business models demonstrating the potential for exploitation of available content. In addressing these problems Europeana Space brings together high-level key expertise from the European creative industries, technology-based enterprises, the cultural heritage sector and higher education.

Europeana Space will build 3 Spaces, the Technical, Content and Innovation Spaces: physical and virtual environments to enable the creative re-use of cultural content. They will contain online guidelines and tools, a technical framework; a platform for IPR management; hackathons and workshops to inspire and support content providers, technology partners, creators and industry bodies to develop new content-based services and applications; and incubation/mentoring by business experts to stimulate and support creative entrepreneurship. 6 Pilots and 3 Demonstrators will present innovative models of content use in interactive TV, photography, dance, games, publishing and cultural heritage. A wide-ranging dissemination and sustainability programme will ensure Europe-wide penetration of the Best Practices developed and shared through the project.

Europeana Space will address all sectors of the creative industries, from content providers to producers, exhibitors, artists and makers of cultural/creative content, publishers, broadcasters, telecoms and distributors of digital content. Its impact will be significantly increased use of Europeana and new opportunities for employment and economic growth within the creative industries through continuing development of innovative applications and services based on Europe's rich digital cultural resources.
