Since its formation in October 2004, Trilateral has been a partner in consortia - most of which it initiated and organised - which have undertaken projects funded by the European Commission under its Sixth and Seventh Framework Programmes.  

BRAID (Bridging Research in Ageing and ICT Development) is a two-year project beginning in March 2010. It will develop a comprehensive RTD roadmap for active ageing by consolidating existing roadmaps and by describing and launching a stakeholder co-ordination and consultation mechanism.  It will characterise key research challenges and produce a vision for a comprehensive approach in supporting the well-being and socio-economic integration of increasing numbers of senior citizens in Europe. The project has nine partners.  

PRESCIENT (Privacy and emerging fields of science and technology: Towards a common framework for privacy and ethical assessment) is a three-year project which began in January 2010. It will provide an early identification of privacy and ethical issues arising from emerging technologies and their relevance for EC policy. It will contribute to the quality of research in the field of ethics, by distinguishing between privacy and data protection and analysing the ethical, legal and socio-economic conceptualisations of each. PRESCIENT has four partners.

SENIOR (Social, Ethical and Privacy Needs in ICT for Older People: A Dialogue Roadmap) was a two-year project which began in January 2008 and finished in December 2009. It provided a systematic assessment of the social, ethical and privacy issues involved in ICT and Ageing, an understanding of what lessons should be learned from current technological trends and developed strategies for governing future trends. SENIOR had eight partners. Its website is http://www.seniorproject.eu. 

PRITUIS (Privacy and Trust in the Ubiquitous Information Society) was a one-year project which resulted from a tender by the EC's Directorate General Information Society and Media. It began in January 2008. The consortium provided an analysis of the impact of convergent and pervasive information and communication technologies on privacy and data protection and needs and options for development of the legal framework. The project had four partners.  

SWAMI (Safeguards in a World of Ambient Intelligence) was an 18-month project, which began in February 2005 and finished in August 2006. It analysed the implications ambient intelligence (AmI) has for privacy, identity, trust, security and the digital divide. It developed four "dark" scenarios and developed an innovative methodology for deconstructing (analysing) technology scenarios. The project had five partners.  

STARC (Stakeholders and Risk Communications) was an 18-month project, which began in June 2005. The goal of the project was to promote co-ordination of national approaches on risk communication and to propose initiatives for involving all stakeholders and civil society in a more dynamic risk governance culture. The project had six partners. Its website is http://starc.jrc.it.
