The
information about past projects is not intended as a guide to what kinds
of project EPDP will support in the future. The policy of EPDP has changed
direction since its inception. Information about the projects we are
undertaking and promoting now can be found elsewhere on this website. Projects
undertaken or supported by EPDP have used a range of electronic and
digital media. We have assisted the development of databases of all
types, distance-learning applications, and production of a wide range
of electronic newsletters, journals, books and libraries. We have undertaken
training programs in EP and multimedia production techniques, and run
conferences on communications, inter-regional co-operation and digital
media. We have also underwritten Internet communications projects, and
multimedia products promoting art, science, history and culture.
"The HAPINET (Handicapped Persons Internet) Project helps disabled young people to take part in the development of new technologies. In the first 3 years we educated their teachers to use Internet and multimedia facilities, we provided computer systems for them, and we trained them to overcome their physical problems. In 1998 we started the HAPINET Distance Learning Center. The center's aims are similar to those of the EU's ISdAC Project (Information Society disAbility Challenge) and other European telematic projects. The center has an Internet Homepage and an information division. We expect that in the future the running of the center, which is located in in the newly opened building for handicapped education, will be carried out largely by handicapped workers." METAMORPHOSIS, Macedonia (US $20,000) The
aim of the Metamorphosis project is to develop a resource and training
center where interested publishers, librarians, artists, media workers,
students and others have the opportunity to get acquainted with electronic
publishing technologies. • Electronic Publishing Training Room, with Internet access and equipment for training in electronic publishing, directed at special target groups such as publishers and NGO's. Specialised training focuses on typical problems related to electronic publishing, for example, fonts on the web (such as Cyrillic), security, and e-commerce. • Electronic Publishing Library, which provides interested people with access to books, CD's and other materials on electronic publishing. |
