All of them are multidisciplinary and rely on network technologies, but each of them proves that different technological requirements may be driven by the need for sharing and social collaboration rather than industrial competitiveness alone. We were finally able to start negotiations of 24 projects, most of which will start on 1^st January 2016. You can find an updated presentation of the current projects and of the next calls on the collective awareness website _http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/collectiveawareness_. Soon we will publish there also full details about the projects under negotiation.*Next calls* in a nutshell: ICT11 CAPS in 2017, ICT12b "*Distributed Architectures for Decentralised Data Governance*" in 2016 (deadline 12 April 2016). Don't miss them! Workprogramme just published at http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/funding/reference_docs.html#h2020-work-programmes-2016-17. The European Commission has just published a few *public consultations* which are most relevant to the social topics addressed by CAPS. Your view will be key for us to better understand these needs (please also let us know directly if you contribute). * The consultation on *Regulation of Internet platforms in view of the Digital Single Market strategy* _https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/Platforms/_ explores which future internet you would like to see. Although there are 150 questions, you are no obliged to answer all of them: just pick the ones that are of most concern and tell us what are your views on open vs proprietary standards, open data vs big data, platform access, internet web services, internet governance, or net neutrality. The European Commission is asking you whether it needs to be involved in law-making to govern the internet, considering the role that private companies (such as Google, Facebook, Uber, etc.) are having on issues such as privacy, transparency, copyright, cybersecurity, or other concerns. Deadline to contribute: 16 December 2015 * The consultation on *Standards for the Digital Single Market* _https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/have-your-say-standards-help-achieve-digital-single-market_ is gathering views on priorities for standards in key technology areas which are critical to achieving the DSM. This might as well include emerging areas such as those covered by the forthcoming call on "distributed architectures for decentralised data management", in order to facilitate the take-up of Open Data strategies, e.g. for the Sharing Economy.
