Brussels, 05 March 2002

An @LIS (Alliance for the information society) call for proposals has been issued by EuropeAid for the implementation of demonstration projects in the field of the information society.

The demonstration projects should be innovative and involve integrating existing modern technologies.

Each proposal should be presented by a European-Latin American consortium composed of at least eight partners coming from at least three EU Member States and one Latin American country.
