E-content information day

UKISHELP, a service for UK organisations seeking project funding under the EU's Fifth Framework Programme, is holding an information day on 24 May in London to address the e-content call for proposals.

The call recognises the importance of the digital content sectors to Europe, and the problems they have in competing on a global basis.

Participants at the information day will gain an insight into how the system works, and what the evaluators will be looking for. Representatives from the European Commission will be on hand to explain the purpose of the call, and what sort of projects they anticipate funding.

The preparatory actions, anticipating a major new programme next year, look for proposals in three key areas:

- improving access to risk capital for Internet-related SMEs and start-ups;

- demonstrating exploitation of public sector information;

- facilitating linguistic and cultural customisation of digital content.

The new programme will focus on the market implementation of Europe's content potential and not on the technological aspects of the global networks.
