Chorus Event on National Initiatives with the Support of the European Commission

This highly successful Workshop was organised in cooperation with the European Commission. The event brought together the technical, administrative and financial representatives of the various national initiatives (included IM2), which have been established recently in some European countries to support research and technical development in the area of audio-visual content processing, indexing and searching for the next generation Internet using semantic technologies, and which may lead to an internet-based knowledge infrastructure.

The objective of this workshop was to provide a platform for mutual information and exchange between these initiatives, the European Commission and the participants.

Top speakers were present from each of the national initiatives. There was time for discussions with the audience and amongst the European National Initiatives. The challenges, communalities, difficulties, targeted/expected impact, success criteria, etc. were tackled. This workshop addressed how these national initiatives could work together and benefit from each other.

The Chorus event on National Initiatives took place in Geneva, Switzerland on 10th of October 2007. The meeting was held at the headquarters of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).
