8. THE IST Programme The strategic objective of the Information Society
Technologies (IST) Programme is to realise the
benefits of the information society for Europe both
by accelerating its emergence and by ensuring that
the needs of individuals and enterprises are met.
IST is managed by the European Commission, with the assistance of the IST Committee consisting of representatives of each Member and Associated State. The Commission and the IST Committee are supported in their work by an IST Advisory Group of some 25 members who are highly experienced in this field. They provide independent expert advice concerning the content of the IST Workprogramme.
The Programme follows on from the ESPRIT, ACTS and Telematics Applications Programmes, which were carried out by the Community within the 4th Framework Programme. It is based on a new, integrated approach which reflects the increasing convergence of the information and communications technologies which were addressed individually by those programmes.

9. The Programme strategy
Maintain and strengthen Europe’s :
research potential
knowledge-based excellence
high-quality technology
Support economic and social objectives of EU
 Put S&T progress at the service of the EU and its policies
Programme strategy
Community-funded research in information and communication technology is integral to the overall strategy of the European Union for the Information Society.
European competitiveness
Information society technologies support a rapidly increasing range of products and processes throughout the economy. To be competitive in the global marketplace, Europe needs to master both the supply and use of such technologies.
European added-value
Carrying out research and technology development collaboratively across Europe is important in a number of ways; for example to reach a critical mass in terms of skills or other scarce resources; to establish the consensus necessary for standardisation; or to assist with issues such as interoperability.
Socio-economic needs
Work will target the benefits that information society technologies offer in all industrial and societal activities, from more competitive methods of working and doing business to higher-quality lower-cost general interest services or new forms of leisure and entertainment.

RTD Priorities:
Work organisation
Business and market organisation
Business and market processes
Trust and confidence
New methods of work and electronic commerce
To enable both individuals and organisations to innovate and be more effective and efficient in their work and businesses, thus increasing their competitiveness while improving the quality of the individual’s working life and consumer confidence.

18. Main highlights : Key Action II
Promoting visionary RTD with high potential payoffs
- Two new themes cutting across the Key Action:
Mobile & Ubiquitous eCommerce and eWork
Knowledge Management for eCommerce & eWork
- Four refocused core themes:
Dynamic Value Constellations, Trust&Security
Sustainable Workplace Design, “Smart” Organisations
Promoting Early Exploitation & Broad Adoption
Socio-economic research

19. Key Action III Multimedia content & tools
The aim of this work is to improve the functionality, usability and acceptability of future information products and services to enable linguistic and cultural diversity and contribute to the valorisation and exploitation of Europe's cultural patrimony, to stimulate creativity, and to enhance education and training systems for lifelong learning.
RTD Priorities:
Electronic publishing
Cultural heritage
Multimedia content and tools
To confirm Europe as a leading force in this field and enable it to realise the potential of its creativity and culture. It will address issues such as interactive electronic publishing, digital heritage and cultural content, education and training, human language technologies and information access, filtering and handling.
Education and training

21. Key Action IV Essential Technologies and Infrastructure
The aim of this work is to promote excellence in the technologies which are crucial to the Information Society, to accelerate their take-up and broaden their field of application.
RTD Priorities:
Information processing, communications & networking
Software, systems & services
Simulation & visualisation
Mobile & personal communications & systems
Interfaces
Peripherals, subsystems & microsystems
Microelectronics
Essential technologies and infrastructures
To further the development of these technologies and infrastructures common to more than one application, enhance their applicability and accelerate their take-up in Europe. RTD will cover areas such as the convergence of information technology and communications; mobile and personal communications; microelectronics; technologies and engineering for software, systems and services; simulation and visualisation technologies; novel multisensory interfaces; and the development of peripherals, subsystems and microsystems.

22. Main highlights : Key Action IV
Strengthening infrastructure convergence
IP/Mobile/fixed
Broadcasting and communications
Higher visibility to networked embedded devices, and related architectures
Embedded devices, Software, real-time systems
Highlighting open source software and open systems
Includes a comprehensive range of take-up measures
Two-phase perspective
Integration in short to medium term
Higher performance and adaptivity in longer term

23. Future and Emerging Technologies
High risk or longer term research
Potential for breakthroughs and social or industrial impact
Future and emerging technologies
In order to ensure that the programme remains open to new research ideas for tomorrow, the four key actions are balanced with a future and emerging technologies (FET) action, with a visionary and exploratory perspective. This involves research of a longer-term or particularly high risk nature, but which promise major advance and potential for significant industrial and societal impact. FET can be seen as a "nursery” for novel and emergent ideas which may later become mainstream topics. As such, FET is not constrained by the priorities of the key actions but rather aims to open new possibilities and to set new trends for future research.
Open Scheme (continuous submission - no deadlines)
Two project types:
- Assessment projects (up to 1 year and 100 keuro)
- Standard RTD projects
2-step submission: a short proposal is submitted first

24. Future & emerging technologies
Proactive Initiatives to be launched in 2000:
