Bringing Sustainable Privacy and Identity Management to Future Networks and Services
Fundamentally understanding privacy-enhancing identity management ‘for life’
Bringing Privacy to the future web Develop and make tools for privacy friendly identity
management widely available – privacy live!
http://www.primelife.eu/
Start date: 01 March 2008, Duration: 36 MonthsTotal cost: 15.065,056 €, Total EC Funding: 10.200,000 €
Example:
Vision: Privacy, Trust and ID Management
In the Information Society, users can act and interact in a safe and secure way while retaining control of their private spheres
PrimeLife: Making PRIME real
Beyond data minimization: Address data-intensive scenarios and user-generated content (Web
2.0, virtual communities such as Friendster, SecondLife) Trust building and enforceable data protection (end-to-end policies) Real life privacy (and throughout life)
Research focus on main problem uncovered by PRIME: HCI, Policies, and Infrastructures (and some mechanisms)
Make privacy-enhancing identity management widely available:
Infrastructures, Open Source, and Standards Cooperation with other Projects (Master, TAS3, SWIFT,... ), Education (summer schools, …)
Advance State of the Art significantly once again!
Experiences gained Benefits
Opportunities to have cooperation with leading European researchers/research labs
Leading EU projects have greater impact/visibility than national projects
Large resourses available for long time periods NoEs offer more academic freedom, attractive for PhD students
Challenges/Issues High costs (travelling, personnel) for writing proposals Selective review process Consortium Agreement/Negotiations are critical Administrative overhead. However, for large projects good
planning and reporting are essential Much travelling necessary. Schedules are conflicting with

Recommendations for writing a Proposal
Attend EC workshops for defining research priorities for research programmes
Attend IST networking events Keep close contact to EC officials in charge Write/review proposal in a team in a good time Consortium should have a good mix of participants
from academia, industry (large companies, SMEs), and (possibly) public authorities from different countries/regions
Better chances if key players are involved, or if proposal builds on a successful previous project
Good management important already in the project drafting phase
Means for Cooperation between Swedish Universities
Cooperate within a Consortium (e.g, as equal partners or third party/contracter constellations)
Share experiences with regard to financial & legal issues
Open PhD events (Summer Schools) for external participants
Joint workshops of EU projects with related (national) projects
