CALIMERA
Balkan Workshop 2004
Zadar
City Library, 11-12 June 2004
The strategical objective of CALIMERA is “ to ensure that local
cultural institutions right across Europe are well-placed to benefit
from and contribute to the goals of the new RTD framework programme
2002-2006 in enabling ‘anywhere, anytime, natural access to IST
services for all’ through provision of advanced and intelligent
systems which improve access to Europe‘s knowledge and educational
resources and generate new forms of cultural and learning experience,
helping establish a stable pan-European infrastructure for distributed
repositories of digital content and community memory within 5
to 10 years.”
One
of important activities in the Workpackage 4 is to organise in
conjunction with country co-ordination groups, national representatives
and industry participants in the ‘Balkan’ countries (Albania,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro)
two regional workshops to:
demonstrate
and raise awareness of core technologies for local services;
identify and develop the basis on which they can be acquired and
implemented;
understand the nature of local conditions and barriers to be overcome;
facilitate active participation in FP6, especially the Community
Memory call.
Country
coordinators in Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro agreed to take
over the organisation and now we are pleased to announce the first
workshop.
The
program will be focused on:
-
cooperation and partnership between cultural institutions to built
new services by using IST.
-
some best practice examples which will give some ideas of what
can be done.
-
the short look at possible involvement in EU programs focused
on South East Europe.
-
the discussion on what can be done in a view of present conditions.
The
workshop will take place in Zadar City Library on 11 and 12 June
2004 and is organised by Osijek Public Library, Zadar City Library,
