Topic 1 - Cloud Computing for Science:
To explore cloud computing solutions that address
researchers needs when building applications of high
relevance for grand challenges (including both scientific and
societal, such as environmental modelling, weather
simulation, biodiversity, life sciences, etc) using distributed
resources (network, computing and data).

Topic 2 - Sustainable technologies for a
Smarter Society:
To explore system solutions to build sustainable complex
systems that are cost effective, energy friendly, affordable
and based on open standards to address current society
challenges for better living, supporting the emergence of
smart services and applications.

Topic 3 - Smart services and applications
for a Smarter Society:
To support the deployment of interoperable infrastructures
exploiting new trends on future internet and open data
(namely from sensors and social networks) to create
context aware services and applications of relevance for
citizens in domains such as management and monitoring of
large crowds at large scale events, emergency situations,
mobility, etc.

Topic 4 - Hybrid broadcast-broadband TV
applications and services:
To support the development of hybrid broadcast-broadband
TV applications and services to address new generation of
TV applications, taking advantage of both the widespread
use of free to-air transmissions and the ever-increasing
deployment of Internet connectivity, both for commercial
use and for educational or other public goals.

Details of area activities
• (Topic 1) EU and Brazilian researchers will join forces to deploy
cloud computing solutions to address scientific challenges in fields
such as environment modelling, bio diversity and life sciences.
• (Topic 2) They will work together to exploit sustainable technologies
solutions (including microsystems and microelectronics) for
smart cities
• (Topic 3) They will deploy interoperable Internet infrastructures
looking at how new trends on data (e.g. from sensors) and social
networking can be applied to domains such as the management and
monitoring of large crowds at large scale events, emergency
situations and mobility.
• (Topic 4) Europe and Brazil will work together towards the
development of a new generation of hybrid broadcast-broadband
TV applications and services, which take advantage of widespread
internet connectivity, both for commercial use and for educational or
public purposes.

IBE meeting outcome
IBE will make 4 proposal one in each area:
•
Topic 1 (Cloud computing for science)
–
–
•
Topic 2 (Sustainable technologies)
–
–
•
At this time is only possible to identify potentially interested parties, namely: Brunel,
MINERVA (Dissemination), PUSP, ROME, UBL, NOVA, UNOCONSULTING
IBE will therefore need to monitor the situation with respect to the development of the call text
for this area.
Topic 3 (Smart Crowd Management)
–
–
•
ERASMUS UNIVERSITY GIVES ITS CANCER DATABASE
PUSP (Brazilian coordinator), Brunel (European coordinator), ERASMUS U , OSLO,
KARLSTAD, EUKNOW, PORTO, NOVA, ULB, MINERVA (for dissemination), PUSP will set
up an email reflector for the above group.
ROME (European coordinator), PUSP (Brazilian coordinator), BRUNEL (if London/Rio
Olympics link to be made), EUKNOW, KARLSTAD, MINERVA,(dissemination) PORTO,
UFSC, UBL, UNOCONSULTING
Prof Martucci will discuss this idea with University of Brasilia PUSP will set up an email
reflector for the above group.
Topic 4 (Hybrid broadcasting)
–
The existing consortium appears well established and PUSP will continue developing this
proposal on its current basis. IBE participants include Brunel and Santa Catarina.

The group also Erasmus Mundus (EU) discussed the programs Science
Without Borders (BRA), and Marie Curie (EU).
Erasmus Mundus:
–
•
Marie Curie:
–
•
It was agreed at the meeting that Erasmus Mundus was not a vehicle to be pursued by IBE.
It was also agreed that Marie Curie was not a vehicle that IBE should directly engage with.
Science Without Borders:
–
–
–
Prof. Martucci explained that the main Brazilian Universities had received extensive funding
for fellowships for the SWB program and were charged of the selection of the fellows.
There is still some lack of clarity about the operation of the SWB programme but it is only in
its early days so IBE will monitor its development and keep its participants updated on any
significant developments.
Professor Martucci emphasized that Brazil is open to working with European partners and
suggested all the partners who are interested be aware of the regulations of doctoral
programs of the Brazilian universities.
