ABSTRACT
The ECIAO project supported EU-China co-operation on activities related to Future Internet Experimental Research (FIRE) and IPv6 deployment. Strengthening EU-China joint research efforts on the Future Internet by facilitating the trialling of interoperable solutions and common standards, and exchanging best practices on the federation of testbeds. Reinforcing academic and industrial co-operation on Future Internet experimental research, through a better networking between European and Chinese actors. Contributions to standards in the domain of Future Internet was an area in which there was no optimal communication between EU and Chinese standardisation experts. In China, a main focus of standardisation was on PTDN, but on the EU side, the equivalent topics were being followed in ETSI by the AFI NTECH Technical Committee. In 2009, the first EU-China Information Society Dialogue between the DG Information Society and the Chinese Ministry for Industry and Information Technology took place.
