WP2_D2.7(2)_ADI © PRO-IDEAL Page 7 of 40 D.2.7(2) - Organisation of awareness raising/coaching courses for potential partners 4 OUTCOMES The event mobilized a great number of qualified participants from the academic, private and the public sector. Participants’ lists are included in Annex 3. The partnership with key institutions in the innovation and research ecosystem in both countries proved once more to be a successful strategy to maximize the outcomes of the workshops. Overall, the events had a significant impact in the target countries and provided an advantageous opportunity for participants to gain an up-to-date knowledge and hands-on work of the issues in international cooperation with Europe, learn more about the requirements for being part of an EU-LA consortium, and the opportunities for different local institutions to apply in upcoming ICT FP7 calls. In both events, the participation of a representative of the Ideal-Ist Project greatly contributed to the interest and attendance. It also showcased the synergies between both projects and the benefits for potential participants in the FP7 ICT Programme to take advantage from their combined services in order to successfully apply to FP7. 4.1 Networking The events were seen as great learning and networking opportunities, where people found replies to their concerns about the ICT program of the FP7. People not only received key information and suggestions to improve their chance for success when applying the FP7-ICT call for proposals, but also exchanged knowledge and ideas with other colleagues and discussed about R&D priorities, locally and for the Latin American region. At a national level, the event also helped to strengthen dialogue between representatives of key organisations and institutions in ICT and R&D: In Montevideo, the origin of the participants in the event, coming from universities, ICT companies and also the public sector, guaranteed a broad dissemination of both the Pro-Ideal and Ideal-Ist projects and the FP7 ICT programme. In order to reach the maximum number of attendants from the broader range of possible origins, LATU took advantage of the contact networks of other institutions. ANII, CUTI and Programa Emprender included the invitation to the event in their own mailing lists and newsletters. This network, added to LATU’s own contact network, provided a highest level of dissemination of the Workshop. In Santiago, The event helped to strength relations with key institutions, such as CONICYT, University of Santa Maria, the Delegation of the European Union in Chile and Pro-ideal partners. Also, the workshop had a positive effect for the project objectives, as the Chilean partner was invited to participate with a presentation about the PRO-IDEAL and PRO-IDEAL PLUS projects in the "Day of Cooperation in Future Internet and ICT Components” between Europe and Chile, on April 22 2010. In Addition, CONICYT is interested in the concept of "project angels" in order to create a similar one in Chile.

El encuentro, permitió abrir el diálogo político en TIC entre CONICYT, el consorcio PRO-IDEAL e Ideal-ist, aumentando los niveles de participación chilena en investigación en Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación. La conferencia fue organizada por CONICYT, Asociación de Derecho e Informática ADI Chile y el Consorcio PRO-IDEAL, en colaboración con Ideal-ist y la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. A su vez, co-financiado por la Comisión Europea. En la ocasión, el profesor Reinaldo Vallejos, del Departamento de Electrónica de la USM, señaló que “hoy en día nos encontramos tan sólo en el inicio de la fusión de la tecnología de las telecomunicaciones y la informática. Cada vez usamos más las nuevas tecnologías, sin embargo el completo desarrollo de las TICs permitirá hacer lo mismo que hemos hecho siempre pero con esta tecnología, sin que ésta sea percibida sino que sea parte del medioambiente. El desafío es que la tecnología le sirva a las personas sin necesidad de que sean usuarias de ella, sino que se mueva de forma natural y para esto falta mucho”. “La importancia de las TICs es que mediante ellas es posible lograr el desarrollo del país. La exportación de materias primas, que es la actividad por la que Chile recibe ingresos, no es suficiente para salir del subdesarrollo. Para esto es necesario seguir a los países desarrollados y crear tecnología y Chile ha hecho varios intentos, sin obtener resultados satisfactorios”, añadió. “Para lograr buenos resultados es necesario tener una estrategia de desarrollo, no es llegar y exportar cualquier tecnología. Las TICs son un excelente nicho para explotar y exportar, ya que representan el 7% del PIB mundial, requiere de una infraestructura tecnológica razonable que Chile posee, requiere menos barreras de entradas que otras áreas de la tecnología y es aplicable a toda la sociedad (medioambiente, educación, metalurgia, etc). Para lograrlo se requiere principalmente de la formación de profesionales de alto nivel. Lo anterior es un tema estudiado por el gobierno de Chile, llegando incluso a declararlas como prioridad nacional durante el gobierno de Ricardo Lagos, sin embargo el país todavía no cuenta con una industria de TICs que exporte tecnología” complementó el académico. “Si bien tenemos una industria de TIC en el país, no tenemos una que tenga la característica de generación de conocimiento, ciencia y profesionales de alto nivel en cuanto a hacer negocios, ése es el desafío. Son muy buenos los intentos que se hacen, sin embargo hay que considerar el hecho que habiendo tenido claros estas ideas hace más de una década, siendo prioridad nacional, no hemos logrado casi nada. Tenemos algo de tradición, pero falta cultura de cómo trasformar estas oportunidades en una industria desarrollada”, aseguró Vallejos. WP2_D2.7(2)_ADI © PRO-IDEAL Page 39 of 40 D.2.7(2) - Organisation of awareness raising/coaching courses for potential partners “Para ilustrar esta última idea sirven de ejemplo las compañías tecnológicas Cisco, Nokia o Sony. Si bien todas ellas están presentes en Chile, acá se encuentra sólo la implementación de ellas, pero no la creación de TIC. “No queremos ser la industria socia de otra industria que crea el conocimiento en otro lado, queremos ser parte de la cabeza. Para eso es necesaria una organización a nivel país”, agregó el académico. WP2_D2.7(2)_ADI © PRO-IDEAL Page 40 of 40
