Untitled D12.4 INTEGRATED WORKSHOP

D12.4 Integrated Workshop

The aim of this focussed workshop was to review the progress of the ongoing deliverables of WP12 by discussing contributions, adjusting schedules and allocating work. In actual fact, the event was split into two separate events, an editor’s meeting on the 17th – 18th March and a contributor’s workshop chaired by the editors on the 11th April. Both events were organised by the University of Reading, and K.U. Leuven, and were hosted in Leuven, Belgium.

While this workplan has three ongoing deliverables within WP12, such a workshop was not necessary for the progression of D12.7. Instead, the focus was on the other two reports, namely D12.5 and D12.6. The full programme of the event can be found in Annex 1. In brief, the main topics of this workshop were: 

1. D12.6: The technical scope of ICT implants beyond RFID 

2. D12.6: A classification of ICT implants based on their function and application 

3. D12.6: Developing a cohesive chapter on the socio-ethical aspects of ICT implants

4. D12.6: Discussing the relative importance of nanotechnologies to ICT implants 

5. D12.6: Over viewing legal aspects 

6. D12.5: Encapsulating the diversity of  Emerging Technologies in scenarios

7. D12.5: Ensuring minimal overlap in scenario topics 

8. D12.5 & D12.6: Revised time planning 

The scope of this workshop means that it was open to any FIDIS participant, but was specifically aimed at the contributors of the first drafts of the deliverables. The list of contributors involved can be found in Annex 2.
