eMobility – Strategic Applications AgendaAnnex Cprovide a Web based information system on European environmental sustainability research to define requirements for a portal concept for the development of a "Single information space inEurope"and finalize with recommendation and a roadmap for inter-/transdisciplinary research to strengthen theEUROPEAN RESEARCH AREA in the field of ICT for environmental sustainability.The group "Environmental Informatics" provides in this Support Action long-standing experience in ICTapplication for communication, technology and environmental protection. While gaining additional informationfrom other countries, an added value emerges from a growing network of experts and practitioner in research,industry, SMEs and administration linked with an in-deep interdisciplinary knowledge transfer. It is certain, thatafter this Support Action the current independent group will cross over again into an enlarged self-sufficientEuropean network with a well-founded information basis.Project detailsProject Acronym: ICT-ENSUREProject Reference: 224017Start Date: 2008-05-01Duration: 24 monthsProject Cost: 1.51 million euroContract Type: Coordination and support actionsEnd Date: 2010-04-30Project Status: ExecutionProject Funding: 1.25 million eurohttp://cordis.europa.eu/fetch?CALLER=PROJ_ICT&ACTION=D&DOC=1&CAT=PROJ&QUERY=011e8a72f504:88c3:0fe6d4e9&RCN=87015ParticipantsInternationale Gesellschaft Fuer Umweltschutz AustriaForschungszentrum Karlsruhe Gmbh GermanyCoordinatorContact Person: Name: DUSCHNIG,ERWINTel: +43-031-68739256Fax: +43-031-68739254Organisation: TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAET GRAZRechbauerstrasse 128010 GRAZAUSTRIA88.
