European Union Telematics Programme - Area 1 (Administrations). International multimedia museums database network is now a specified item in this programme. There is approx 38m pounds available (not just for museums!). The programme gives 50% funding for research and technology development and demonstration programmes. Call for proposals likely on 15th December. DTI briefing on 13th October at Conference Forum, Sedgwick Centre, Colchester Street, Aldgate East, London, starting at 10 am. Places apparently limited - I have requested one. Would be glad to hear from other interested parties. Wendy Sudbury [log in to unmask] Museum Documentation Association, Cambridge.
