FOLLOWING IS A MESSAGE FROM
LUIS RODRIGUEZ-ROSELLO
Head of Unit

Information Society Directorate-General
Multimedia Applications for Education and Training
Dear PROMETEUS partners,
Dear research project coordinators,
Dear all interested eEurope contributors in the Education and Training area,
President Romano Prodi announced in December the eEurope initiative, aimed
at accelerating the uptake of digital technologies across Europe and
ensuring that all Europeans have the necessary skills to use them. To
achieve the eEurope objectives, the Commission has proposed 10 priority
areas for action with ambitious targets to be achieved through joint action
by the Commission, the Member States, industry and the citizens of Europe.
The Communication "eEurope - An Information Society for All", welcomed by
the Helsinki Summit, will constitute an input on 23-24 March to the Lisbon
Special European Council on Employment, Economic reforms and Social
Cohesion - Towards a Europe based on Innovation and Knowledge. A full
eEurope Action Plan is to be adopted by June 2000, with concrete targets in
all eEurope areas.
We now seek your contribution to the eEurope Action Plan preparation in the
areas of action: 'European youth into the digital age' and 'Fast Internet
for researchers and students', especially with regard to actions for
schools and distance education. We wish to thank you in advance for your
electronic responses to the attached open consultation.
Yours sincerely,
Luis Rodriguez-Rosello
