IST Work Programme 2005-2006

The IST Work Programme 2005-2006, which defines the strategic objectives for the fourth and fifth IST Calls for Proposals, was published in 2004. For its preparation, the Information Society Directorate of the Commission launched an online consultation process and invited experts to contribute to its development. Certain areas held further public consultations with the research community. The Commission has published the reports of the Consultation Processes for each strategic objective
