E.S.I.S. Questionnaire

(version to be filled in with computer)

 

The Information Society Project Office (ISPO) at the European Commission is setting up an Inventory of European Information Society Projects and Actions. This initiative acts as a decision support system for the implementation of Information Society initiatives and actions. This initiative is called ESIS. and has already been implemented for a period of two years.

The inventory holds information on a broad range of commercial and publicly funded Information Society application projects in European Union, Central and Eastern European countries and in Mediterranean countries. It provides a tool for knowledge, communication, partnership and the promotion of best practice examples. Furthermore, it serves as a navigation tool for all key actors and help in the promotion of the Information Society.

The Commission makes general findings and statistical results openly available to all parties with a strong interest in the development and progress of Information Society initiatives, including :

·      various European Commission directorates, units and services

·      industry and social partners

·      individual organisations and research bodies, including those completing this questionnaire

·      the general public 

What is the Information Society project definition used for E.S.I.S. Inventory ?

 

"Information Society projects use data processing and telecommunications technologies to support innovative methods of communication between members of society for a wide range of purposes (e.g. education and training, healthcare and social care, culture, administration, industry and commerce, research & development, etc.)."

 

Projects of this type will generally be interactive (two-way communication between users and systems or among users) and involve remote access (with users and systems able to communicate over a distance). Projects may have a societal dimension or will possibly serve as a model for other organisations and businesses.

 

 If your project fits this description and is being conducted in part within your own country, we would be extremely grateful if you could spend some time filling in the following questionnaire (approximately 20 minutes).

As a general rule, all data on individual projects will be treated as confidential and non-attributable outside the Commission. The responses are included in a publicly accessible database on European Information Society Projects if consent is given (see section G “ Consent for inclusion ”).

Any additional information on your project (full description, promotional leaflets, etc.) will be appreciated.

The dissemination plan for the findings of the survey includes one or more conferences at which respondents will be welcomed.

Please return this questionnaire to the organisation in charge of the Inventory in your country. For the Slovak Republic is contact address. If further information or clarification is required, do not hesitate to contact them.
