EPRI Com (1998 - 2000)

EPRI-COM aimed at providing a platform for the dialogue between the ACTS community and political decision makers in Europe. Furthermore EPRI-COM demonstrated the state-of-the-art and the importance of recent communication technologies and services developed in the framework of the ACTS Programme particularly towards countries in Central and Eastern Europe.

The key objectives were:

• to present the activities and results of the ACTS Programme to political decision makers in Europe and that way to initiate a political dialogue between ACTS and the political community in Europe
• to establish a truly trans-European information and communication service on the basis of a multimedia information service for parliaments in the CEEC, the EU (EP and national parliaments) and the North Atlantic Assembly that integrates continuous media information (video, audio) as well as other source of information (text, graphics)
• to facilitate direct communications between Eastern and Western Parliamentarians and policy makers, by exploiting and continuously improving the information and communication services offered by EPRI-COM
