Information Day on the early stages of implementation
of the IST programme within FP6

Luxembourg, 23-24 October 2002

Discussions regarding the IST successor programme 2002-2006 are approaching completion. The first call for proposals is expected to be launched towards the end of the year.

Following the successful FP6 workshop held on 15-16 May 2002, an Information Day is planned for 23-24 October next. The purpose of the Information Day is to provide participants with first-hand information on the likely scope and content of the calls for proposals that will be launched in the first year of operation of the new IST programme.

The Information Day will consist of two sessions, addressing RTD topics relating to Interface Technologies and Cognitive Systems on day 1, and Knowledge Technologies and Cross-media Digital Content on day 2.

These sessions will be open to all interested parties on a 'first-come first-served' basis as the number of participants that can be accommodated in the conference facilities is limited.

The attendance is free to registered participants who must cover their travel and subsistence expenses.
