The IST programme explained
An update of latest developments in the IST (information society technologies) programme of the European Commission is available on the CORDIS website. The 'IST2000: Realising an Information society for All' publication deals with both policy issues and technical challenges thrown up by the programme as well as using some practical examples of projects that are being carried out under the programme. The publication goes on to deal with how the programme functions in three separate areas and by three different groups - by individuals in personal spaces - by enterprises in the workplace - by public services in society at large Further information on generic technologies is available in the publication, which aims to show how the programme can bring the goal of an information society for all closer.
