4. Projects
News about the several projects in which GROW is involved.
monIT – http://www.lx.it.pt/monit
The project had several actions during November, besides listed above, namely the presence with the information booth at Congresso APDC das Comunicações (Lisboa, Portugal, Nov. 2006), and at Centro Comercial Vasco da Gama (Lisboa, Portugal, Nov. 2006).
eMobility – http:///www.emobility.eu.org
Luis M. Correia started leading a Working Group on “Leading-edge Applications”, besides its participation at the Experts Advisory Group and at the Steering Board.
We are also preparing our participation in the IST Programme (European Commission) 7th Framework R&D projects. The deadline for submitting proposals is 2007-04-24.
