MEDFORIST


MEDFORIST is a project aimed at implementing a Euro-Mediterranean network for sharing information systems and technology resources. Started in August 2002, MEDFORIST is a project of the Euro-Mediterranean Information Society, an initiative of the European Union, ultimately aimed at establishing an EU-MED free trade zone by 2010 and setting up an information network system among European and Mediterranean universities and institutes in the field of information technology. The project is coordinated by Centre TIME of the Grenoble école de management.

Objectives

Following the completion of the project the following goals are hoped to have been met:
The integrating activities have two levels:
  1. The project management is a task for the steering committee composed with the project leader, a manager by sub-project, and a manager by Mediterranean country. This steering committee will meet in a regular way to plan the actions, to solve the difficulties and evaluate the results. This steering committee will be assisted by a technical committee in charge with the implementation of the actions in each sub-project and by a technical advisor in charge with the evaluation of the deliverables.
  2. Transversal activities of the sub-projects are constituted by the training of the trainers, the realisation of the technological platform, the realisation of the study on competencies, the animation of the network development and the actions of dissemination and timelessness of the project activities.
