EU and national dimension. The stakes for the European presence at the top level of excellence in this field are high. In this period of rapid changes in the supply chain of high-quality scientific information, the choice for Europe is either to consolidate and expand existing European services, allowing a fair coverage of its scientific production, or to leave the field open to other competing developments (produced mainly in the US). A firmly established European facility like EuDML will form the basis for future developments, where full control will not be delegated to another continent. It will provide both competition and different traditions to services emanating from non European sources. The core mathematical knowledge, without which current science can not be understood, has been produced and stored in Europe and disseminated across many countries and languages. It became truly international at the end of the 19th century, as exemplified by the birth dates of the national mathematical societies (Bohemia: 1862, United Kingdom: 1865, France: 1872, USA: 1888, Germany: 1890, etc.). The first International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Zürich in 1897, with 197 members from 15 European countries plus 7 members from the USA. The International Mathematical Union was formed in 1920. The European mathematical community still maintains a top level position for mathematical research. Notice, e.g., that more than half of the 20 Fields Medals awarded since 1986 went to mathematicians born in Europe. Since the Xxxx Prize was created in 2002 as the mathematical counterpart to the Nobel Prize, 4 laureates out of 8 were from Europe. Thanks to outcomes of this project, the rich European mathematical heritage and current output will be available from anywhere, not only at much lower cost, but also in a form that is easier to discover, use and exploit for academia, industry and the general public. Moreover, XxXXX will be an extraordinary contribution to Europeana – The European Digital Library. This library will have a tremendous impact on the way mathematical research is conducted, streamlining the process of research and enabling new discoveries not otherwise achievable. It is necessary in order to defend the leading position of European mathematical research in the world. The European DML will also constitute a contribution of the European Union to the support of researchers and other users of the mathematical literature in regions facing special challenges, such as Eastern Europe, ...

EU and national dimension. The digital libraries initiative to which Europeana contributes is part of the Commission’s i2010 strategy for the digital economy. The Strategy promotes an open, innovative and competitive digital economy and emphasises ICT as a driver of inclusion and quality of life. One of the Strategy’s 3 priorities is “Achieving an inclusive European Information Society that is consistent with sustainable development and that prioritises better public services and quality of life.” Within this priority digital libraries fits. Europeana is a flagship initiative in this area. To achieve these priorities, i2010 provides financial support. The ICT PSP in the CIP is one of the main financial instruments of i2010. In 2009 the Commission launched a public consultation to prepare for future policy initiative in ICT beyond 2010. It is likely to continue to provide a hospitable policy context for Europeana. According to the Communication from the Commission “EUROPE 2020 A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth”, published 3rd March 2010, the Commission proposes that the European Council endorses - in March - the overall approach of the strategy and the EU headline targets, and approves - in June - the detailed parameters of the strategy, including the integrated guidelines and national targets. The strategy will include a flagship initiative to be known as "A Digital Agenda for Europe." This will include active support for the digitisation of Europe's rich cultural heritage, an area where Europeana plays a crucial role. Currently the existing digital libraries initiative supports the development of Europeana – the European digital library – and contributes to improving the conditions for the online accessibility of books, newspapers, films, maps, photographs and archival documents from Europe’s cultural institutions. Commission Recommendation 2006/585/EC on the digitisation and online accessibility of cultural material and digital preservation and the related Council Conclusions set a range of tasks for the Member States to make cultural information accessible to all on the internet and preserve it for future generations. The recommendation included support for a “European digital library”, now known as Europeana. By August 2008, in the “Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions, Europe’s cultural heritage at the click of a mouse, Progress on the digitisat...

EU and national dimension. Recognizing the opportunities and challenges that Europe’s diversity provides, the 2008 Commission Communication on multilingualism available at xxxx://xx.xxxxxx.xx/education/languages/pdf/com/2008_0566_en.pdf sets out aims to both capitalise on the opportunities of and address the challenges of Europe’s multilingual heritage, in terms of enabling greater multilingual skills among European citizens and supporting the use of regional and minority languages in Europe. The purpose of this Thematic Network is to explore and make recommendations for improving standards and best practices related to the World Wide Web. The Web is today one of the most significant technologies involved in enabling widespread use of regional and minority languages, the understanding of other’s languages through conversion of one language to another, the coexistence of multiple languages within a single technology or content, and opportunities for language-learning. However, the Web is still young, and there are barriers to multilingual support that still need to be addressed, and best practices that need to be followed more widely to maximise its multilingual potential. In this respect, the proposed Thematic Network is central to the policies of the EU.

EU and national dimension. The STOPandGO consortium consists of public and private procurers in health care and independent expert organisations on interoperability and eHealth. All partners are actively involved in various telehealth and telecare projects and pilots through Europe (e.g., European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP-AHA), e.g., the C2 Action Group, Ambient Assistive Living Forum (AAL), Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP)), have extensive experience in large-scale trials and procurement and are eager to extend the pilot successes to accelerate actual EU-wide scale deployment of telehealth and telecare. The partners involved in public procurement have a track record in supporting the market introduction of interoperable health services (e.g., Whole System Demonstrator9, 3MillionLives10, and Slimme Zorg projecten11). The consortium will develop requirements and provide best practices on telehealth and telecare procurement, respecting and taking into account national and regional differences in legislations and technical infrastructure. Results from larger scale trials have demonstrated patient benefits and efficiency savings to healthcare systems (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2012). The dislocation of value barriers (where costs are carried by one agency but benefits accrue to another) is being lowered by integrated health and care service delivery and, in England, through health and care reforms that will give responsibilities to combined health and care agencies. Affordability is becoming pressing. The demand for services will increase disproportionately to the ability of economies to fund them unless significantly lower cost models are found to meet citizens’ needs. The realization of this has led national administrations to promulgate collaborations to develop more service- based solutions, moving away from the traditional model of ‘buying a box’ (a single functionality appliance). These ideas are slowly being introduced to the market. A critical barrier to adoption is an absence of robust and stable procurement specifications. Procurement practices lag market and service innovations. Isolated solutions undoubtedly exist that would meet various health and care needs, extend service reach and improve the economics of offerings but it is not possible to describe the new requirements by current product-oriented tender exercises. New business models, predicated on subscription and/or transaction charging rather than front-loaded procureme...
