Thirteen IST Project Examples
This report surveys the work of thirteen research projects that contribute directly to policy development. They were launched in the area of New Methods of Work and Electronic Commerce (KA II) of the IST Programme between 1999 and 2002. The projects share a number of characteristics that enable them to make effective policy contributions and they typically address problems in relation to several interconnected policy layers. For the report look at:

DEEDS ensures an open Forum of European executive policy makers (Policy Group) stimulating, discussing, exchanging, and monitoring public policies related to the major issues of the digital economy, focusing on the uptake of electronic business practices by SMEs.

The Forum is the follow-up of the Policy Group set up within the G7 Pilot Project A Global Marketplace for SMEs (1996-1999), co-ordinated by the European Commission, which has contributed - via the exchange of information, experience and best practice - to significantly progress and converge policy making related to Electronic Commerce and SMEs.
