This could perhaps be interesting for some of the p2p people around Europe. 

Noinet, the Italian user-owned network effort, has got itself on the mailing list of the "Net Innovation" office at the European Commission... here is a recent infomail.

Now that the dust of the first CAPS (Collective Awareness Platforms for Sustainability and Social Innovation) call has settled, I wish to update you on the current status of this initiative, as well as on the next steps and events.
 
The 10 projects selected in the first call are presented at https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/caps-projects . Most of them have just started, on October 1st. Your comments and participation are most welcome!
 
We've also recently launched a large study on Digital Social Innovation, which is setting up a network of organisations that use the Internet for social good. Visit, comment and contribute at http://digitalsocial.eu/
 
And I'm proud to announce that a second call, with an increased budget, will be included in the forthcoming EU research program Horizon2020, as priority ICT10; it will be officially presented and discussed on November 7th in Vilnius, at the ICT13 event (9:50 Room H1A) http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/events/cf/ict2013/item-display.cfm?id=11634
 
During the same event, you will have a special opportunity to network with other partners interested in this area, during the networking session 'Internet Science and CAPS' (booth 4, November 8th, 9:00-10:30) http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/events/cf/ict2013/item-display.cfm?id=10374 . 4A11 is also the booth where you will find more details about CHEST, the CAPS project which will award 2.5 M€ of seed funding to Digital Social Innovation activities in the coming months.
 
At the ICT13 Exhibition in Vilnius you will also find the project CONFINE (booth 10714), which is launching its second Open Call (with a budget of 750 k€) on "Connected communities: A future internet, built by the people for the people" http://confine-project.eu/open-call-2/ .
 
See you soon, best regards,
 
Fabrizio
