The purpose of this study is to analyse in detail the available information on the impact of the results of the programme for research and technological development (RTD), 'Creating a user friendly information society' and its three predecessors, the Esprit IV, the ACTS and the Telematics application programme (TAP). The contractor will also prepare an inventory of effects, including micro-, meso-, and macroeconomic level impacts that have been or may be associated with the RTD interventions of the IST programme.
