The project seeks to create a coherent on-line community of relevant stakeholders, providing them with the tools for effective sharing of experiences and good practices and a participatory environment for seeking common and shared solutions.
The portal will be launched on the 12th of June 2008 in the frame of the eris@ Annual Conference.

TRANSFORM "Benchmarking and Fostering Transformative use of ICT in EU Regions" |
|
TRANSFORM is an EU Framework Programme 6 project that looks into ways in which European regions can achieve transformative change by fully exploiting the potential of ICT. The project explored the influence of differences in 'regional innovation culture' on the degree to which ICT are used effectively, and developed indicators for better measuring uses of ICT which make a real difference to the prospects of regions.
The TRANSFORM project stand will be the privileged stage for conference delegates to get in touch with the project team, to obtain insight into project outcomes and to collect dissemination materials that synthesize its key objectives and outcomes.
The stand will also provide copies of recent publications from related projects such as the European eBusiness W@tch. |
