New Ways to Work 2000European Telework6.3 Key Action II - New Methods of Work and Electronic Commerce“The aim of this work is to develop information society technologies to enable European workers andenterprises, in particular SMEs, to increase their competitiveness in the global marketplace, whilst at thesame time improving the quality of the individual's working life, through the use of information societytechnologies to provide the flexibility to be free from many existing constraints on both working methodsand organisation, including those imposed by distance and time. Specific attention will be paid to thesocial implications of new working methods, in particular their impact on equal opportunities and qualityof life”For the sake of brevity, eWork is the term used to describe IST-enabled work practices: It encompassestelework and the more flexible work in new office environments, in which new information and communicationtechnologies play a major role.The Key Action involves a three-pronged approach:• Promoting Innovative and Visionary RTD: Support the research, development and demonstration ofnovel solutions and practices for eWork and eCommerce.• Promoting Early Adoption and Exploitation: Facilitate the rapid exploitation of research results;• Promoting Broad Adoption: Promote early and broad adoption of novel solutions across Europe.The broad interplay of technical, economic, social, legal and policy issues is addressed through integratedsocio-economic and technological research. This helps to orient and focus work in the Key Action as well asassess the implications of IST developments.A total of 11 Action Lines have been identified for Calls for Proposals in 2000. They form a coherent set ofRTD, take-up, support and socio-economic analysis activities, as depicted in the figure below.Organisation of Key Action II in 2000ActionLinesII.1.1New Perspectives for Work and Business: Vision,Policy Contributions, Socio-Economic AnalysisCross ProgrammeActionsII.1.2II.1.3II.2.1II.2.2II.3.1II.4.1II.1.4II.4.2II.1.6II.1.5SustainableWorkplaceDesignKnowledge ManagementMobility and UbiquitySmartOrganizationsDynamicValueConstellationsTrust &SecurityEarly Exploitation & Adoption - Testbeds & Trials(e.g. digital economy testbeds, large-scale trust&confidence)Specific Support Measures (e.g. clusters, training,interoperability, dissemination)Broad Adoption in Regional & Sectoral SettingsCross-ProgrammeAccompanying MeasuresActivities focused on eWork development are now supported in the following Action lines, and are describedin more detail in Annex 3- 118 -
New Ways to Work 2000European TeleworkAction lines for which EU projects are already supported:Socio-Economic analysis for the information society: Cross Programme ActionObjectives: To develop a better understanding of the challenges, impacts and opportunities associatedwith the deployment and use of new IST solutions whether in everyday life, at work or in business. Thisincludes studying the interplay between a broad range of technological, human, social, economic,environmental and policy issues that critically impact effective use and adoption of new IST solutionsand developing novel approaches aimed at identifying and quantifying the many new facets and trendsof the Information Society and the emerging digital economy.Focus:This Cross-programme Action complements and supports other more specific socio-economic activitiesto be undertaken within individual Key Actions. This is done by focusing more specifically on themacro-economic dimension of the Information Society and on challenges relating to usability and broadadoption of IST solutions with a particular emphasis on design requirements, skill requirements andpolicy requirements as they relate to job creation, equal opportunities and social inclusion.New perspectives for work and business (1999 workprogramme, 2 nd Call)Objective: To develop, quantify and demonstrate evolution scenarios and the potential social andeconomic impacts of new technologies and services on work and business in the next decade. Workshould actively engage socio-economic research on the barriers faced by companies. It should be basedon benchmarking, econometric models, new statistical indicators and technology foresight, to guideRTD and inform policy development. It should involve socio-economic research in the technologyprojects to aid in technology shaping and in identifying new skills requirements. Particular emphasisshould be placed on identifying new opportunities for economic growth, employment, social inclusionand health and safety. Attention should also be given to entrepreneurship, equal opportunities,adaptability and to legal and policy issues related to networked organisational structures, such as virtualenterprises with respect to liability and IPR protection, in a global environment. Activities shouldinclude measures to raise public awareness and support the policy debates.Mobile and ubiquitous eCommerce and eWorkObjectives: To explore and validate novel mobile and/or ubiquitous models, solutions and practices foreCommerce, eWork and “smart” organisations.Focus:• Development and validation of smart, context-sensitive (e.g. time, location, or task-sensitive) solutionscapable of supporting highly personalised mobile/ubiquitous eCommerce and eWork scenarios as wellas “smart” organisational practices.• Development and validation of environments for open, seamless and secure integration of heterogeneousmobile/ubiquitous eWork and eCommerce solutions, including wearable ones.• Development of easy-to-use multi-modal interfaces for mobile/ubiquitous eWork and eCommerce.- 119 -
