Beschreibung
CONCORD is the Facilitation and Support action for the EU-funded
Future Internet Public-Private Partnerships (FI PPP) programme.
CONCORD supports the European Commission in implementing a coherent
FI PPP programme in a way that makes it more than the sum of its 10
constituent projects. Concord proposes and coordinates
cross-project activities.
CONCORD advocates fair, neutral, open and inclusive procedures to
assist FI PPP stakeholders achieve commonly agreed goals.
Reflecting this, CONCORD creates an open and transparent
decision-making mechanism that builds on a collaboration
environment through which all projects address common issues and
are accountable for their contribution to the success of the FI PPP
Programme as a whole. CONCORD facilitates horizontal, cross-project
knowledge transfer and co-creation at various levels, as well as
collaboration with relevant external groups. It further supports
project implementation through guidelines addressing common
technical and non-technical aspects of standardization, policy,
regulatory, legal and governance frameworks, SME and user
involvement, and cross-project collaboration. CONCORD addresses the
challenges identified and the potentially divergent interests and
objectives within the FI PPP Programme community through structured
discussions and meetings, maintaining a neutral approach to the
issues at hand. CONCORD is designed to promote program-wide
consensus, minimizing the risk of dominance by any one group
through clear, transparent and fair rules of participation and
interaction. CONCORD focuses on the future-oriented strategic
direction of the FI PPP as a whole, highlighting the added value of
its unbiased ?outsider? stance on the FI PPP?s structure and
processes. In so doing, CONCORD leverages past experience and
on-going investments for the design and development of an overall
system-level Programme view built on the fruitful collaboration of
all FI PPP projects.
