Topics

The subscribers drive the content of the Study Programme. While technical topics have been dominating in recent years, a number of techno-economic areas and topics are highly welcome for upcoming studies, such as:

• Pre-studies for larger initiatives in specific areas

• Lowering the barriers for take up of existing and/or new services

• Reducing the cost of operation and interoperation

• Planning the profiling of (abstract) standards to workable/interoperable solutions

• Exploring new business models and areas

• Identifying disruptive events and technologies and assess their impacts

Each study has a well-defined, measurable objective. The main objective of each study is very specific, defined in advance, and can include, for example:

• Satisfying a business information need of your organisation

• Providing a technical solution

• Describing a service opportunity

• Defining a new project in FP7, or CELTIC

• Developing a position statement for regulators, or the EU

• Developing a joint submission to a standardisation organisation

• Defining an independent joint undertaking within the telecom community
