R+D Projects and Agreements

• Multimedia Information Window for National Hosts (InfoWin AC113)
  Project Objetive: The strategic goal is the creation of the ACTS Information Window, that allows the ACTS projects to see the world surrounding them, and, at the same time, provides to the world a view of all aspects of the work in ACTS. Projects within the ACTS Program will "see and be seen" by a world-wide community of peer researchers and developers as well as prospective users of the service which are the subject of the projects' works. The INFOWIN mechanisms will also be used for ACTS internal information exchange.
  Department contribution: WP1 (1mm): Regional Representative functions. Gather information from ACTS Program managers, projects and from the Global Communications world. WP3 (4mm): Promotion of the InfoWin products, understanding user needs, monitoring local/regional activities and production of News Clips.
