Purpose of the workshop

eMobility platform is one of the ICT technology platforms defining research agenda for mobile and wireless communications area, and paving the way for research that will take place in the forthcoming FP7.

The target of this open workshop is to jointly clarify the eMobility targets and messages, and especially refine the Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) to ensure the maximised relevance of the plans from both industry and academic points of view.

Concretely, eMobility will release its next SRA version in June, and this workshop will give input to that document. Please use the eMobility Wiki for online contributions  http://wiki.ist-emobility.org/index.php/Main_Page 
This version will also be in key position regarding the influence and impact to the Work Programme for FP7.
