IST ECOLEAD European Collaborative Networked Organizations Leadership Initiative IP 506958 April 2004 – March 2008

www.ecolead.org Total funding: 9 747 000 euros Uninova’s funding: 1 079 920 euros ECOLEAD is a 6th Framework Program Integrated Project that aims at creating the necessary strong foundations and mechanisms for establishing an advanced collaborative and network-based industry society in Europe.

The ECOLEAD vision is that in ten years, in response to fast changing market conditions, most enterprises and specially the SMEs will be part of some sustainable collaborative networks that will act as breeding environments for the formation of dynamic virtual organizations. A holistic approach, combining VO Breading Environments, VO Management, Professional Virtual Communities, Theoretical Foundation and ICT Infrastructures, is followed. Group’s role:

- Scientific & Technical Direction of the Integrated Project.

- Coordination of the integration aspects. - Coordination of the Theoretical

Foundation area. - VO creation framework. - Contribution to VO Breeding

Environment framework and Professional Virtual Communities framework.
