An overview of different options including: FP6 Programme 2003 – 2006; e-Content; Culture 2000; Ten Telecom; Regional Funds. For those new to EC funding as well as those who have so far concentrated on one or two areas. Which to choose and also ‘to bid or not to bid?’
This special EVA Symposium aims to disseminate and share the results of five EC supported projects in the Archaeological and related fields with a total budget of over 15 million euro and to discuss ways of making further progress over the next 5-10 years.
Aimed at people from cultural institutions such as museums and academia interested in advanced applications of IT in archaeology and related fields and computer scientists, engineers & other researchers.

• What are the prospects for the Cultural Sector in the 2nd Call ?
Research Workshop - From Multilingual Systems to Multilingual Learning Using Electronic Cultural Heritage Resources
This workshop aims to explore the possibilities of improving the learning of multiple languages-a vital necessity for the expanded European Union. The workshop will attempt to identify possible ways forward to improve the situation, including the needs for research on various aspects including for example:
• The special needs of ‘poor language learners’
• Lifelong multiple language learning and retention issues—from children to senior citizens’
• Building Language Learning opportunities into multilingual cultural systems
Interdisciplinary Workshop on Advanced R&D in Culture X Technology
To bring together individuals & research groups from an eclectic range of perspectives to share current work & future plans and dreams. The core of the group is expected to be from UCL, but we hope that other academic, cultural institutions & local government will also participate.
