Copenhagen, Denmark - November 6, 2002

Description

Held at the Bella Center, Copenhagen on 4-6 November, IST 2002 will broaden its scope to everyone with a strategic interest in Information Society research, whether at European, national or regional level - or even entirely within the private sector.

The general theme is 'Partnerships' - your partnerships. The aim is to help Europe's researchers and industrialists build networks for collaborative IST research, at a time when the IST priority within the EU's 6th Framework Programme for research and technological development is getting underway.

The ISTEC session will:
1) Present the main elements of IST-related research activities in Canada
2) Present a number of Canadian projects seeking cooperation with European researchers
3) Review some Expressions of Interest submitted to the Commission that require Canada-Europe links
4) Review results achieved by the existing cooperation projects
5) Raise awareness among European researchers on Canadian opportunities

In addition to mainstream researchers, this session will be particularly beneficial for SMEs that often cannot easily travel overseas and do not have a convenient access to information outside their own country, and for eastern European who are less used to global cooperation
