                    General Information:

                    As part of the implementation of standardisation
                    policy and measures in the field of information
                    and communications technologies, the European
                    Commission, DG III, has published a call for
                    proposals for standardisation projects for the
                    Information Society. This call forms a part of the
                    Information Society Initiative in Standardisation
                    (ISIS). 

                    Eligible organisations are invited to submit
                    proposals for: 

                    - Application, validation and demonstration
                    projects; - Development of guidance material. 

                    Proposals should normally be made by a consortium
                    involving at least two partners from different
                    Member States. Exceptionally, proposals from a
                    single organisation may be considered where
                    European added value can be demonstrated beyond
                    doubt. 

                    Specific objectives of the work to be undertaken,
                    themes to be covered and implementation details
                    are set out in the work programme, which is at the
                    basis of this call for proposals. The themes of
                    work identified in the work programme are the
                    following: 

                    - Validation and demonstration of standards and
                    specifications; - Enhancing market transparency
                    for users and consumers, including SMEs; -
                    Promoting industry and business networks; -
                    Supporting trust and confidence for businesses,
                    users and consumers.
