13:00 Lunch

After a long discussion we decided to fix the first year with the expected participation of Hungary (HTA).

15. 17. March 2004 Germany, Coburg (Cultural Networking)

Beginn of June 2004 Hungary, Budapest with Radio and Picture show

• But our polish partners have no funding for travel costs to Hungary!
• Maybe the can finance it over "preparation costs” for a grundtvig 1 project (Hungary must then be on board!!!)

!!Re-Submission in February 2004 is necessary!!!! As well as to clear the situation in Slovinia.

Report of the 1st year!

The second year (starts 1st of August 2004) could look like that:

Autum 2004 Workshop in Poland

1st of November 2004 Deadline 1st phase Grundtvig 1 project

Spring 2005 Workshop in UK

Summer 2005 more Worhshops if additional partners

Re: CCommunication Platform

18:00 Presentation of the communication platform (intrex) by Jens Mofina, City&Bits

Franz uses Apple and therefore he cannot use this platform. It is also not possible to generate mailingslists with this tool. We decide to use the yahoo mailinglist till City&Bits with Massmitec an G.I.V.E can find a tool for all our demands and for all interessted multipliers (ECOVAST, EUTA, CTSC,….).

Wishlist: - mailinglist with archive function - instant messaging & chatting - open space online - cms for publication - instant collaboration - more synchronous (audio/video-confernce) - virtual classroom (voice, presentation, "real life flavour”…)

20:00 Heuriger in Jedlesee

Content, Aims, Evaluation

9:00 - 12:00 Work on contents, aims and evaluation

In our proposal we wrote that we have following aims:
1) Developing a curriculum for a training cours "regional information coach”
2) Preparing a Grundtvig 1 project<br> 3) Installing interactive website
4) Build up a cooperative, transnational network

What we want:
 Building an interface to learning opportunities, not just in the network, but through the networks (workshops, excoursions, communication tool…)
 Multiplying the learning experience (public presentation, website, webcast, publication…)
 Creating sustainable spin-offs (matchmaking)

AIMS:

Create a common knowledge base (maybe even a European Academy) for community informatics

Having a profession "Regional information coaching” specialised on practically introducing ways how local problems an be adressed by global knowledge

RIC, RINC, RMC

RIC is built on THREE pillars

content How can local problems be adressed by global knowledge in a certain field? Energy and building .... Family life ..... Health & self care .....

Methodology How do I find an access the needed knowledge (resources)? Databases, online repositories..... Communities ..... Professional services ….. Universities, libraries …..

Sustainability How do I position mayself in the community? What are the needs of people?

Questions related to RIC: - Who are the RICs? - Where are they staying? - What are they making their live from?

We have found out that the RIC is not enough to meet all community needs, therefore we generate following Suggestion:

1) Regional community informatics (RIC) are there for the CONTENT Franz will lead this workgroup

2) Regional Innovation Coach are there for PROCESS Waclaw will lead this workgroup

3) Regional Media Coach are there for TOOLS

Questions related to the Innovation Coach (information about innovation)
- how can we learn innovation
- how can we communicate
- how can we spread
- how can we transform, implement and integrate
- how can we work with innovative people
- how discover them
- how can we trigger innovative abilities
- how can we build cluster of innovation

It is strongly needed to work first on the STRUCTURE then to make a PILOT PROJECT and with the feedback of the COMMUNITY we can improve the structure.
