FP7 Preparation Workshop: Technological research to contribute to eInclusion

On January 13 and 14, 2005 a FP7 preparation workshop on technological research in the eInclusion domain was held at the premises of the European Commission in Brussels. A group of experts from various European Member States as well as representatives from the European Commission participated in this event.The aim was to elaborate perspectives on and requirements for future RTD in the eInclusion domain. The expert discussion was based on a start-up paper presented by the Commission. The paper characterised the domain under discussion and identified an initial set of critical RTD issues. Also, some initial suggestions on concrete RTD actions were made. This document comprises the rapporteurs’ report summarising the outcomes of the subsequent expert discussion.
