CORDIS launches new RTD-Contacts database
The new CORDIS RTD-Contacts database will be launched on the ECHO Host on 16 May 1994. This database will provide contacts throughout Europe who can provide information on EU research and technological development. Information will be provided on individuals from the Commission and other European institutions who are responsible for developing EU policies and the day-to-day management of individual research programmes. The names of national representatives on programme steering committees as well as the nominated contacts for EU RTD programmes at national level will also be included. Other contact points covered in the CORDIS RTD-Contacts database include: - Commission RTD help desks; - Programme information points; - VALUE Relay Centres; - CORDIS Correspondents; - IMPACT National awareness partners; - EURO INFO Centres; - Members of SPRINT networks. The database will also contain non-EU contacts such as national contacts for EUREKA, COST and the European Space Agency. The database is designed to assist users in locating contacts in their own area who have the required expertise as well as those who can provide help with administrative matters. It provides all the necessary contact information and will be a valuable aid for participating in EU research and technological development projects. The CORDIS RTD-Contacts database will be available via the CORDIS Menu System and will also be incorporated in edition III of the CORDIS CD-ROM.
