The INFINITY Project Overview
• An integral part of the FP7 FI-PPP Programme
of projects dedicated to promoting the
“future internet” for Europe
• A Coordination and Support Action
• Runs from April 2011  March 2014 (3 years)
• Supported by €3m funding from the EC
• 12 Partners (Coordinator: UPM) + new ones
from an Invitation to Tender for developing
value-added services for the XiPi Repository
The INFINITY Objectives
To facilitate communication and collaboration between future
internet infrastructure owners across Europe and organisations
developing future internet applications in order to:
• position Europe at the centre of the future of the Internet
• directly support experimentation for FI-PPP projects and investors
• accelerate the development and uptake of social and commercial
solutions that will provide benefit to the citizens, businesses and
governments of Europe

We have:
• identified and contacted about 400 infrastructures across Europe and
beyond
• gathered, analysed, evaluated and organised information from over 160
Future Internet infrastructures / experimental facilities and test beds
from across Europe
• developed and launched a “live” web enabled repository ‘XiPi’
• initiated a process to encourage and support interaction, and
collaboration between infrastructure (test bed, experimental
infrastructure) owners and application developers (primarily Use Case
developers)
• conducted an initial analysis of the infrastructure data, towards delivery
of an FI roadmap
