Implementing cooperation on Future
Internet and ICT Components between
Europe and Latin America
PLATA members, the Argentine Future Internet technological platform, celebrated its first Assembly on October 6th, 2011, at Fundación Cassará, Buenos Aires City. The Assembly took place in the framework of the ICT Forum, organized by the Argentine Bureau for Enhancing Cooperation with the European Community in Science, Technology and Innovation (ABEST) and together the Project Pro Ideal Plus.
Several events happened in this meeting.
First, a president was chosen to represent PLATA, role granted to Mr. Gustavo Guaragna, CEO of Snoop Consulting and member of CESSI. The vice presidents that were elected are: Mr. Esteban di Tada (University of Palermo), Alejandro Maneffa (Polo IT Buenos Aires), Gustavo Barragán (CEIL), Javier Orozco (Universidad Nacional del Sur), Paula Vink (G & L) and Daniel Russomanno (ITS).
Another important milestone of the journey was the session where different PLATA members presented their R&D initiatives. Under the methodology of elevator pitch, universities, enterprises and other organizations exposed their ideas. All the initiatives are characterized for using ICT to solve problems that are present in Argentina, Latin American and Europe. The purpose of the elevator pitch in the Assembly was to show the different capabilities of the members. The ideas will be distributed at European platforms in order to find potential partners and presented in FIA Poznan, the Future Internet international event, at the end of October. Congratulations to all participants!
