Purpose and goals of the session, James Clarke, Waterford Institute of Technology

Starting on 1^st January 2011, funded within the project portfolio of the European Commission’s DG INFSO, Unit F5 ICT Trust and Security Research, the Coordination Action BIC project - Building International Cooperation for Trustworthy ICT: Security, Privacy and Trust in Global Networks & Services – will examine the co-operation models of EU researchers and programme management with their peers in new ICT high-growth countries, specifically South Africa, Brazil and India, who represent emergent world-impacting information economies through the scale and sophistication of their growing ICT sectors. As part of their first year activities, the project is organising bi-lateral cooperation workshops between the EU and each of the countries in order to engender co-operation of EU researchers and programme management with their peers. This is the main purpose of today’s workshop between the EU and South Africa research communities.

The specific aim of the BIC South Africa – EU workshop being held within ISSA 2011 is to gain a shared understanding of critical issues, identifying promising trust and security research directions, and also to foster collaboration between EU and South Africa research teams. The workshop has the following core objectives:

o    to capitalise on the presence of a large group of research communities from South Africa and around the world present at ISSA 2011;

o    Understand the status and objectives of programs supported by EU and South Africa in all areas of Trustworthy ICT;

o    Highlight potential collaboration subjects that are mutually beneficial and require further South Africa - EU collaboration for ensuring Trustworthy ICT, including security, privacy and trust against borderless cyber attacks;

o    Share information about international projects and initiatives already underway in South Africa and Europe and begin to generate ideas for new ones;                                              

o    Scope the next steps for the collaborations to begin.
