- The hunt is on for Local Digital Inclusion Champions: E-Inclusion Awards 2012 now open for entries
-
(15 February 2012) Everyone's online right? Wrong, almost a quarter of Europeans aged 16 and over have never used the internet! If you've supported other people to get online through a project, service or product, we want to hear about it and the benefits it has provided. Established by the European Commission, the e-Inclusion Awards is on a mission to discover and celebrate the most innovative ways of plugging the digital gap and helping people to enjoy the benefits of the internet. Aimed at inspiring individuals, businesses, entrepreneurs, NGOs and governments the Awards reward those championing the way forward and exploiting the potential of technology in dealing with today's challenges. With almost a quarter of Europeans remaining offline, growth of the digital economy will be stunted as will access to the benefits achieved from access to online facilities. Europe's Digital Agenda includes a vision of 'Every European Digital' in which all people truly benefit from technology innovations, improving their well-being throughout their lifetime and contributing to economic recovery. For individuals, the sense of achievement, empowerment and connection can be priceless! Deadline for submission of entries is 4 May 2012.

16 January 2012
The project aims at improving employability and guidance practitioners' capacity building through the activities of a prototype service that will enable the delivery of educational and vocational e-guidance services, also to cross-border mobility. This eGOS system enables decision makers in charge with educational, training and employment policies to reach also those citizens that, for different reasons, wouldn't be able to take benefit from traditional guidance services. The project is partially funded under the ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP) as part of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme.
