The FIRE - Future Internet Research and Experimentation - Initiative from the European Commission is addressing the need of early experimentation and testing in large scale environments for the construction of the Future Internet. A challenge for FIRE is to promote the concept of experimentally-driven research and to join the two ends of academic-driven visionary research and industry-driven testing and experimentation together.

As part of FIRE, the challenge for the project MyFIRE is to develop the use of experimental facilities in Europe in particular by increasing awareness of testing related best practices. The project will ensure a balance between the requirements for researcher's collaboration and the stakeholder's expectations. This means achieving the good experimental activities, developing the sustainable testing methodologies and paying a specific attention to the contribution to European standards development. The framework will be developed through the creation of open dialogue between the ICT networking research communities and experts from key areas of sociology, policy makers, economic models and standard.
