Subject: Opportunities for funding Research in Statistics
Dear colleague
The cross-programme action 8 of the IST workprogramme 2000 has been
re-opened for calls for research proposals, in relation to, and to support,
the new political initiative of the European Union "eEurope"
(http://europa.eu.int/comm/information_society/eeurope/actionplan/index_en.htm).
The Commission considers that the conceptual, methodological and practical
problems of the measurement of the new information society and economy are
not all resolved and that further research in that field is needed in order
to be able to produce statistics and indicators which will form the basis of
the new policy developments.
The call (http://www.cordis.lu/ist/calls/200005.htm) is thus limited to the
"indicators" part of the action line and reads as follow:
"CPA 8 (Statistical tools, methods, indicators and applications for the
information society). This is open to all specified action types. The scope
of this call is limited to the 'definition, measurement and exploitation of
new socioeconomic statistical indicators for the information society'.
Proposers are encouraged to focus on the priorities of the eEurope Action
Plan (see, for instance,
europa.eu.int/comm/information_society/eeurope/actionplan/index_en.htm)."
The types of actions eligible for this call are defined in the workprogramme
as "RTD, thematic networks, best practice actions, and non-take-up
accompanying measures"
In order to prepare their proposals, the proposers may benefit from the
following information:
- the eEurope action plan
http://europa.eu.int/comm/information_society/eeurope/actionplan/index_en.htm
- a document jointly produced by DG Information Society and Eurostat,
describing in a non-prescriptive way some of the research issues in the
field of new indicators for the new economy, a document listing the projects
already selected in the previous calls of the 5th Framework Programme and
from the 4th Framework Programme, addressing the issues
http://europa.eu.int/en/comm/eurostat/research/intro-en.htm
If you need more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Yours sincerely
