Dear Reader,

The ICE 2011 takes place in Aachen, Germany, 20 - 22 June 2011. This is the 17th in a series of Annual Conferences, which regularly attracts over 200 delegates from leading commercial, government and research organisations around the world to share knowledge and experience, lessons learnt and good practice.

This year the ICE conference will focus on “Innovating Products and Services for Collaborative Networks”. The programme will combine strategic keynote presentations, technical and policy papers, case studies, workshops, exhibition and social activities. The programme will showcase results from projects funded at national and regional level as well as those funded by European Commission Research Programmes.

We are now inviting extended abstracts (min. 1,200 – max. 1,500 words) for technical papers, visionary papers, business and government case studies.
