IST World is a Specific Support Action project funded within IST in the Sixth Framework Programme by the European Commission.
The objective of the project is to set up and populate an information portal with innovative functionalities that helps to promote RTD competencies in IST in the New Member States (NMS) and Associate Candidate Countries (ACC) in order to facilitate and foster the involvement of different research entities in joint RTD activities.
The IST World portal is built on the CERIF standard and will contain information about RTD actors on the local, national and European level, such as persons, research groups, organisations and projects, and their experience and expertise.
