Dear colleagues, As I received this call via another list, it might of interest to people on this list as well. While pretty much everybody agrees that interoperability is a key feature for the IoT, making sure these test platforms deliver to our expectations I think is equally important. Please see below, essentially looking for parties to test the f-interop testing platform, which itself is part of an EU funded project. Groet, MarcoH -- Sent from a small touch screen, apologies for typos Begin forwarded message:

Dear All, I am writing you on behalf of the consortium for F-Interop, a H2020 project researching and developing online interoperability and performance test tools supporting emerging IoT-related technologies from standardisation to market (http://www.f-interop.eu).

So far F-Interop has built a platform for testing interoperability of IoT protocols and we have integrated tools for remote conformance and interoperability testing of 6TiSCH, CoAP and OneM2M.

We are now running an Open Call for third parties to test the current platform from a final user perspective, and to increase its adoption and exploitation by SMEs, developer communities, and standards development organisations.

We aim to select 10 successful third parties to test the platform, and 2 additional entities to run remote plugtest events, receiving €10k each. The call is open until December 20th, with more information on the project and Open Call here, and in the call announcement attached.

The application process is very lightweight.

Hoping that this might be of interest for you or your communities, we will be glad if you could disseminate this opportunities further through your channels and we are also happy to provide you or your contacts more details about the F-Interop project and the application process so you can understand how to develop successful proposal.

In that case, please do get in touch with me or Marie in cc.

You can also use the following tweet for fast dissemination: #funding opportunities for #SMEs working on #iot #interoperability with the @finterop project #H2020 #opencalls http://www.f-interop.eu/index.php/open-call

Looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help and interest.
