The PARADISO project launched in March 2008 with the support of the European Commission aims at identifying strategic research directions on network and service ICT infrastructures in the hypothesis of the disruptive paradigm concerning global societal developments.

Project Vision
The effective stability and soundness of the current development paths of our societies are more and more often questioned today, as serious risks of breakdown of societal models are more and more clearly in sight. In order to avoid major worldwide crises, it is likely that developed, emerging and developing countries will need to agree, sooner or later, on an alternative way forward. Europe is well placed today to be active in a new concept of progress, based on a true sustainable development, a more sustainable economic growth, more equally shared resources. The perspective of this disruptive paradigm shift is not bad news for citizens, knowing the social, economic and environmental objectives. Also, it is not bad news for companies: innovation is needed, particularly in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Which are the ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) applications and services needed to support these new objectives? More precisely, which network and service infrastructures has to be developed? The PARADISO project aims at investigating this disruptive paradigm and identifying the ICT research areas that have to be explored in this perspective.

Project Objectives
•The PARADISO project aims at identifying strategic research directions on network and service infrastructures in the hypothesis of the disruptive paradigm related to global societal developments.

•	The project explores a possible future in which the EU may find the opportunity to take the leadership of global developments.

•	In order to make sure that the paradigm can be thoroughly explored and that solid conclusions can be reached, the project is based on the involvement of key stakeholders worldwide in the area of ICT and of societal developments (in particular through a scientific workshop and an open conference).

•	Ensuring a large impact of the initiative and of project results is also an important objective of the activities, since the PARADISO project, considering its timeframe and its budget, is limited by nature but has, if successful, to lead to follow-up activities building on the first obtained results.

•	The self-sustainability of follow-up activities is also an objective of the project.

Project Activities
The project construction is pragmatic, and aims at achieving results in the short term (within 12 months). The paradigm will be explored - and the innovative research directions identified - through a “reference document” based to a large extent on an open consultation and on the outputs of an international workshop that the project has organised on June 12-13, 2008 in Brussels as well as an open international conference that will take place in January 2009. Important awareness activities are also planned to widely transmit the initiative, to contribute increasing its impact, particularly at the political level.

Project Impact
PARADISO project impact can be summarised as follows:

•	strengthen European position in the development of the Future Internet,

o	one of the main objectives of the project is to explore a paradigm, a possible future concerning network and service infrastructures, which the European Union seems to be the best placed to lead

•	wider take-up of technological developments in networks and service infrastructure facilitated by a comprehensive validation of the technological and service choices,

o	the validation of (at least some of) present technological developments under the hypothesis of the explored paradigm will definitely allow their wider take-up in the future.

•	global consensus towards standards and strengthened international co-operation through interconnected test beds and interconnection capabilities offered to third countries,

•	higher confidence in the secure use of the Internet through test beds enabling trusted access to e-Services.

Project Partnership
PARADISO project activities are implemented by two organisations offering complementary expertise and experience related to project issues: Orionis, France (project coordinator) and the Club of Rome, Italy. Privileged links are ensured with the European ICT community. A number of leading organisations, worldwide, in the areas of ICT and societal developments, are formally supporting the PARADISO project and will be involved in planned activities.
