The implementation includes: transfer of eWork implementation methodology and know-how from Distance Expert (France) to the members of the consortium; experiment eWork in national organisations (private and/or public) and manage a pilot implementation; disseminate information about eWork; design basic eLearning modules; identify national boosters and inhibitors.

Technology Exploitation and Adaptable Methodologies (TEAM)
TEAMTEAM offer new organisational models and practices for e-working teams. The TEAMwork project involves 14 participants from seven EU member and associate member states. Drawing on the results of previous IST projects it addresses the challenges many organisations face in managing and motivating people in an e-working environment. TEAMwork sets out to provide a novel solution for decision-making in a distributed multi-cultural environment. Thus TEAMwork supports the take-up of two previous actions under the Fourth Framework Programme and integrates, adapts and adds to these to address a priority of the Fifth Framework Programme. The solution integrates three components: technology, methodology and skills.

THINK
THINKTowards Handicap Integration Negotiating Knowledge - is a project that will professionally integrate 300 disabled people, as teleworkers, in five European countries, up to July 2002. Professional integration implies transfer of skills in different areas so that they become productive, lucrative and self-sufficient using information and communication technologies for telework. The THINK project is already a technological, organisational and social model, recognised in Europe as an innovative solution for disabled people. There are 60 vacancies in Portugal, 60 in Spain, 60 in Italy, 40 in Greece, 20 in Scotland and 60 in Latvia. In the medium term, the project will be extended to Brazil, the USA and New Zealand.

StarMate
System using Augmented Reality for Maintenance, Assembly, Training and Education - is a project that aims at specifying, designing, developing, and demonstrating a product dedicated to computer-guided maintenance of complex mechanical elements. At the end of the project, the developed product will provide user's assistance while performing assembly/de-assembly and maintenance operations on mechanical systems. The product will also help workforce train to achieving assembly/de-assembly and maintenance procedures. The system will rely on augmented reality technology to provide more flexibility in working methods while preserving user mobility in context where access to conventional documentation is cumbersome. It will improve work environment user-friendliness. It will allow user to access full documentation and manuals directly registered to his working environment. Visual and audio augmentation will be used to guide the user through the right procedure to apply. The system will be controlled through both speech and a pointing device system.
