6 Improving integration and synergies among GROUPS OF EXPERTS HARDWARE/ SOFTWARE DATA/ INFORMATION/ KNOWLEDGE Collective Intelligence

7 Collective Intelligence It emerges from the integration and synergies among data/info/knowledge software/hardware experts and others with insight that continually learns from feedback to produce just in time knowledge for better decisions than these elements acting alone.

8 The EU needs a Collective Intelligence system for Research, Innovation, Strategy, why? Acceleration of technological Change Explosion of knowledge Increasingly complex interdependence of both Tele-Everything We will become more overloaded than today The next 25 years will make the changes of the last 25 years appear slow

9 A European Collective Intelligence System 1. Can make it easier for a Whole-of-Europe response to European challenges 2. Can make trans-disciplinary innovative research easier to accomplish and break down some of the academic barriers 3. Can give experts and creative people a common platform to engage in building a European brain 4. Can increase the internationalization of research as an E-CIS can connect local challenges with global challenges via other CISs around the world to build eventually - global brains for a better civilization
