1. IDEALIST INCO Networking Session
Idealist is extending its Partner search service access by collaborating with international relays to disseminate the partner searches through a broader geographical network of potential partners, in-line with the international cooperation (INCO) strategy of the European Commission.
The Idealist INCO session will gather ICT support organisations willing to develop their network in INCO countries, as for instance NCP and project coordinators. They will have the opportunity to present their cooperating experiences and establish personal contacts, aiming at enhancing the EU-INCO cooperation.

4. Europe-Canada IST Research Collaboration
Did you know that Canadian researchers can take part in IST research projects?
IST-EC2, IST Europe-Canada, connects the European and Canadian IST research communities such as universities, research centers and SMEs which are encouraged to search for projects, partners and funding programs both in Europe and Canada, esp. through the website: www.ist-ec.org.
IST-EC holds a booth and organizes a networking session during IST2006 where researchers from the Canadian delegation as well as from Europe can learn more about research projects and organizations and meet and exchange about their projects. Each participant will have the opportunity to present his/her work, consult the profiles and hear the presentations of Canadian and European researchers. Participants will also be able to take part in individual meetings with the organization of their choice.
Come and visit us at our booth and register for the EUROPE-CANADA IST RESEARCH COLLABORATION networking event. Web site:
