Task Force Road Map

Moderator: Annie Pauzié, INRETS

The aim of HUMANIST Road map Working Group is to propose research topics for the future, and to inform partners about strategical issues and going on work programs. The aim is also to support partners for setti ng up future proposals jointly with the scientific Task Forces.

This Road map WG has 4 objectives:
To organise internal scientific work within HUMANIST association
To integrate inputs from and to interact with scientific Task Forces
To prepare eventually new scientific Task Forces
To prepare synthesis with 2 purposes: to have inputs for the various preparation of the Work Program of FP call, national call, intergovernmental call, bilateral projects…, to release to and to interact with relevant stakeholders formally or informally (ICT, automotive, eSafety, ERTRAC, green and intelligent car initiatives …)

The HUMANIST-VCE synthesis is presented as roadmap (clustering of research and prioriti sati on of clustering).

Firstly, at the end of the Network of Excellence, in March 2008, 12 research topics have been produced, including definition of the objective of the research,
methodology and expected results.

In Lyon, after meeting of the Road map WG in December 2008, 16 research topics have been identified as updating of the previous synthesis. In addition to the description of the content, targeted stakeholders have been identified for  each of these scientific topics. The report produced has been transmitted to the  relevant program committees. The scientific topics list has been updated During Vienna Task Force meeting in November 2009, with two new topics.
