- Economic and social impact of software and software-based services
-
(Deadline: 02/02/2009)
The purpose of the study will be to identify the potential economic and social impact of software and services within the future Internet; the elements that are determinant for growth and competitiveness; and the actions that need to be taken to implement them. The study is expected to provide a substantial result, directly implementable through policy actions, after considering the state of the software and services sectors throughout the EU.

- Call for input on short-range radar systems (SRR)
-
(21 December 2008)The Radio Spectrum Policy Unit is launching a call for input on the Fundamental review of the 24 GHz Decision for short-range radar applications (SRR). Automotive short-range radar systems (SRR) have been identified by the EU policy initiative eSafety as a significant technology for the improvement of road safety in Europe. To achieve this, sufficient radio spectrum resources are crucial. The EU harmonisation measures already in place made different frequency bands available - foreseeing a complete review of the situation in 2009. The current call for input will pave the way to a more efficient assignment and use of frequencies for SRR systems. The long term goal is to have short range radar systems available in a harmonised way on 1 July 2013. This will have a positive impact both on road safety and the economic situation in the car industry, boosting sales for innovative security systems. Input to the call for input is welcomed until 2 February 2009

- Computational modelling and simulation of the human heart to help cardiologists and cardiac surgeons
-
(19 December 2008)VPH2 aims at developing a computational modelling and simulation of the human heart that will help cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in the definition of the severity and extent of the disease in patients with post-ischemic left-ventricular dysfunction (LVD). The importance of a dissemination strategy and plan for the VPH2 project is to inform and involve the general public as well as the specific clinical and scientific targets potentially interested in the project's outcomes and results. VPH2 will develop ICT-based tools for modelling and simulation of human cardiac physiology and disease related process and provide a fundamental framework clearly beyond the current state of the art.

- Investigating the potential of Robotics in Healthcare - December eHealth Monthly Focus
-
(18 December 2008)Robotics for healthcare is an emerging field which is expected to grow in the face of demographic change (ageing), expected shortages of healthcare personnel, calls for improving quality of life for the elderly and disabled, and the need for even higher quality care, for example high precision surgery. All these factors stimulate innovation in the domain of Robotics for Healthcare.
