istADVISER encourages participation in FP5
Many of the parties involved in the ACTS, ESPRIT or the TAP Programmes under the Fourth Framework Programme (FP4), will wish to take part also in the Information Society Technologies (IST) programme under the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5). To make this feasible a useful on-line service entitled istADVISER has been developed. Many of the activities in the IST programmes have their roots in projects carried under FP4. With this in mind, the ADVISER II project (Research Sector and TAP) has developed this on-line service that complements CORDIS and other European Union information services. By selecting an IST ActionLine and then a menu of quite specific activities within it, users are provided with a list of relevant ACTS, ESPRIT and TAP projects. Summaries of these projects can then be viewed together with links to their home pages and to where deliverable information is stored. Contact details are also given for many of the projects. IstADVISER hopes to promote partner search and the preparation of better proposals, thereby saving money and generating innovation for participating companies and the European Community.
