EPRI knowledge Workshops

“EPRI knowledge” is a 36 month-project funded under the European Commission’s Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme. It is a successor to the first ‘European Parliaments’ Research Initiative’ project dating back to 1999.  It aims at raising awareness of, and supporting decision making on IST subjects, among parliamentarians across the EU, at European, national and regional levels.

Besides the annual EPRI conference, EPRI knowledge provides studies and workshops. The target audience are parliamentarians from European, national and regional levels, already involved or interested in Information Society Technologies and IST related themes.

The EPRI knowledge workshops in particular aim to provide a forum for exchange of experience and best practice, and for collaboration in developing policy, strategies and practical guidelines in IST domains.

A total of six EPRI knowledge workshops over a three years period are planned:

• 1st EPRI knowledge workshop   - May 23-24, 2005, Brussels
• 2nd EPRI knowledge workshop -  April 24th, 2006, Austria
