Especially in the Networked Media area, the expected results are a) to inform the existing and evolving project and project clusters about the FIA related activities, and to increase the efficiency of the cross-clusters collaboration in FIA related issues. This deliverable is the 3rd outcome of the WP2 ―Coordination of the activities of the cluster towards the FIA‖. The current version of the deliverable D2.3 is an updated version of D2.1 and D2.2. It is still a draft version, as the final will be delivered after the Networked Media spring 2011 concertation meeting on 14-15 April 2011. As compared to the previous versions (2.1 and D2.2), this deliverable includes the results of the questionnaires and additional information about running projects. In order to collect information about the running and new projects, a questionnaire will be distributed on the 28th of November 2010, during the project presentation at the concertation plenary session.

In order to achieve these goals, nextMEDIA realises the following actions: Coordinate the research collaboration in networked media scientific fields, especially in Future Media Internet (with strong orientation to the combination of 3D Internet Media and Content-aware Networks/Network-aware applications) Support the cooperation and future research of the European projects in the field of Networked Media by means of driving Task Forces and propose and coordinate new ones (―Future Media Internet Architecture‖). Identify the position and clear opportunities in the areas where the European research in Future Media Internet is more competitive world-wide and develop studies and roadmaps by means of analysing the situation, technology and patents in the most developed countries in relevant research areas.
