- 6th Call (27/01/01): AL I.3.2 Best practice and trials in administration systems
- 7th Call (15/06/01): AL I.3.1 Intelligent environment for public sector employees at all levels. The deadline of this call is 03/10/01.
Background information about the last 4 Calls in the Administrations area - from 1999 to 2001
IST 2001 - I.3.2 Best practice and trials in administration systems
- Objectives
- To promote the dissemination, early exploitation and adoption by administrations, in the EU and Associated States, of well-founded, mature and established, but insufficiently deployed, methods and technologies that have been successfully developed under the FP4 Telematics Applications Programme.
- Focus
-
- Uptake by early adopters of up-to-date technologies and systems; upgrading of the standard of existing systems, and the extension of these systems to related specifications. The actions are expected to have a critical number of sites and appropriate industrial involvement. They should be of short duration (12-18 months).
- The consortia should also include the actors (e.g. public authorities) responsible for the full-scale deployment of the systems.

The systems will permit the distributed operation of administrative applications (including components) across Europe and over heterogeneous networks and platforms. Additionally, systems that support the development by governments and administrations of scaleable applications will be supported.
- Standardised, interoperable and reusable IST-based application systems, which can support staff involved in online transactions of modern government (i.e. government to government, citizen to government, business to government). Official friendly software agents supporting the work of staff involved in online transactions with citizens and businesses, by combining an easy to use intuitive interface, immediate feedback, autonomous tracking capabilities, mobility, advanced information gathering and knowledge sharing. Significant industrial participation is required to ensure commercial exploitation.
- Proposals will be expected to address industrial consensus on common specifications, for example regarding the information format and service interoperability requirements, as well as establishing or enhancing standards, where appropriate.
- Types of Actions addressed
- Research and Development, Demonstration and Combined projects
- Additional info
- Approximately 4-6 RTD projects (e.g. 4 R&D, 1 DM, 1 CM); expected number of proposals of between 25-30; DO NOT duplicate existing projects (i.e. from Call 1 and Call 4 - refer to the Projects page in this unit)
- Links with WP2000
