This website has been created and is maintained in the framework of a specific support action, the so-called “ASIACOOP initiative”, funded by the Directorate General Information Society and Media (DG Infso) of the European Commission (EC) as part of the "EU Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development" (FP).

It is updated in close liaison with the International Relations Unit of DG Infso and aims at providing European and South Korean organisations interested in the development of R&D cooperation projects in the ICT field with relevant information and useful links, in particular related to an upcoming event, the “Korea-EU Cooperation Forum on ICT”, to be organised on June 16-17, 2008 at the COEX in Seoul, under the aegis of the European Commission (DG Infso) and of the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (MKE).

Organisations more generally interested in the development of S&T cooperation in the ICT field, between the European Union (EU) and Asia may find it useful to visit the www.EuroAsia-ICT.org dedicated website, another web portal also maintained in close liaison with the International Relations Unit of DG Infso.

We hope this platform will contribute, even modestly, to strengthening the already longstanding links of friendship and mutual esteem that unite the European and South Korean ICT communities.
