The “PARADISO high-level expert panel” has been set up to support, over the period 2010-2011, PARADISO activities aiming at:

• deriving from the analysis of possible global societal developments, functional and technological specification of the envisioned Future Internet,
• issuing recommendations concerning research to be developed in the framework of EU-funded programmes.

It is co-chaired by Roberto Saracco, Director of Telecom Italia Future Center and Ziga Turk, Secretary General of the Reflection Group on the Future of Europe

Four meetings of the panel have been held over the period, including those organised on the occasion of the two main PARADISO events: the workshop of November 2010 and the conference of September 2011.

In June 2010, members of this panel have provided intial inputs which can be downloaded here.
