IST projects on CORDIS
Details of over 500 successful projects selected to participate in the Information Society Technologies Programme of FP5 are now being made available on CORDIS. A quick-reference list of IST projects receiving Community funding from the first round of proposals launched on 19 March can be found at: http://cordis.europa.eu/ist/projects.htm(odnośnik otworzy się w nowym oknie). This is presented in alphabetical order according to the project's acronym. Information provided includes the title, e-mail contact and the unique project number. Progressively, there will be a brief two-page description for each project, detailing the project's abstract, objectives, description of the work plan, contact details and a list of participants. This information is already available for almost 100 projects. European Commission officials expect these details to interest a wide cross section of people. In particular, it should benefit participants in the programme seeking to establish contact with related projects, Member States and associated countries who contributed to the Fifth Framework's budget. In addition, the information will be beneficial to potential new participants seeking to situate themselves amongst existing projects as launched from the first call for proposals.
