Communicatin ICT Research at the IST Event in Helsinki

Dear IST national contact points,

In the framework of the IST 2006 Conference in Helsinki, and in partnership with the IST Results Service, CORDIS has proposed a networking session on Communicating ICT research and bringing benefits to society

http://ec.europa. eu/information_ society/istevent /2006/cf/ network-detail.
cfm?id=847

Your comments and contributions to this session are of interest to us and to the organisers of the IST Event.

For us your wide experience and contacts with the stakeholders of the IST Programme represent a valuable contribution for shaping a good discussion and offering efficient communication support to the EU-funded projects.

For the organisers of the IST event your comments will be important to assess the relevance of our proposal.

At this point in time the final selection of sessions still has to be done. By expressing your interest, before the 15th September to this and other proposed sessions on the IST2006 website, you can provide the necessary support for them to take place during the conference. The detailed programme (timing, room allocation) of the workshops and networking sessions will be decided based on the level of interest. At the extreme a session may even be cancelled if little or no interest is
expressed at all!

So click on http://europa. eu.int/informati on_society/ istevent/ 2006/networking/ index_en.htm#express

You can use the link of our proposed event to express your opinion and interest to attend:

Please do not hesitate to forward this message to your colleagues from the communication departments of your organisations and/or to any communication professionals and IST projects in your countries that may be interested to know of and to attend the session.

The deadline for comments is the 15th of September and we look forward to meeting you in Helsinki at the end of November,

Best regards,
The CORDIS Marketing, Awareness and Communication Team
