IST 2004, Networking sessions- call for ideas
The European Commission has opened a call for ideas for the networking sessions of the forthcoming IST (information society technologies) conference to be held in The Hague, the Netherlands from 15 to 17 November. The IST conference is the annual networking event and showcase covering research and development in information society technologies (IST). IST 2004 is organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the Dutch Presidency of the European Union. Networking sessions complement the conference and exhibition and contribute to one of the prime objectives of the European Commission's research policy: to encourage forward thinking collaborative initiatives that support the development of the European Research Area. The sessions bring together people who are interested in a specific topic in order to discuss project ideas, research activities and business partnerships. They are less formal discussion groups than the official conference workshops, encouraging active participation and lateral thinking. The call for ideas for networking sessions will be open until shortly before the event.For more information, please consult the following website: http://europa.eu.int/information_society/istevent/2004/networking/index_en.htm(opens in new window)
