Starting with subjects like the history, organisation and objectives an overview of the policy developed by the European Commission to achieve their objectives will be given. Special attention will be given to the Fifth Framework Programme (5FP) which will be discussed in more detail. This scheme can fund or facilitate co-operative research projects executed by business and research institutes and which can also be joined by organisations based in CIS countries.

    Training course 2 Information Society Technologies Programme
    One of the subjects of the 5FP focuses on Information Technologies for Society. A work programme has been developed by the European Commission where action items are described which contribute to the objectives of the Commission. Companies and research organisations are invited to propose projects that can contribute to the realisation of the action items. The different lectures (5) give an overview of the action items (Key Actions), requirements for eligibility of a project, how to prepare a proposal and how to execute an awarded proposal. Special attention will be given to the role and opportunities of CIS countries.
