Objective
The aim of TIERRAS is to forge a permanent partnership from a group of European regional authorities firmly committed to experimental telematics services in their development policies. At its core is the integration, monitoring and validation of interrelated cross-sector teleservices for private citizens and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the regions concerned. European added value will be secured by a regional forum for successful implementation and strategic development. TIERRAS combines a top-down approach in its regional policy links with regular feedback from user groups.
The aim of the TIERRAS project is to build a permanent partnership among a group of European Regional Authorities, which are directly committed to support telematics applications experimental services as part of their social and economic development policies. In particular, the integration, monitoring and validation of related cross-domain sets of telematics experimental services constitute the core of the project.
Four classes of services (tele-information, tele-registration and payment, tele-training and tele-support) will be developed towards two classes of users: individuals - intended as citizens participating into a local social system - and Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) - as determinant actors of regional economic development.
The project is based on the principle of embeddedness in Regional development policies and is proposed by local clusters of closely integrated organisations, which have already developed good experience in European collaboration and can rely on relatively developed telecommunication infrastructure.
Its European value added is guaranteed by the activation of a Regional Forum where concertation mechanisms will be activated not only to successfully implement the concrete objectives of the project, but also to develop evolutionary strategies for telematics service development. Through the design, development and validation of experimental services to reach citizens and SMEs of dominantly rural areas, the project is preparing the ground for the development of other collaborative projects among European Regions in the framework of other European Programmes and Initiatives (e.g. Employment, Adapt, SMEs, LEADER, Leonardo).
The project includes determination of users needs and regular collection of feed-back through Users Groups, but keeps a top-down approach in its close connection with regional social and economic policies: it is by definition open to the collaboration and integration with other users led "bottom-up" networks seeking support from regional authorities and integration with regional policies.
