The previous eTEN 2006 call for proposals was the last for the eTEN Programme. From 2007 onwards, support to electronic services in areas of public interest will be provided by the ICT Policy Support Programme (ICT PSP), a component of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), which will run until 2013. The Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) will bring together into a common framework specific Community support programmes and relevant parts of other Community programmes in fields critical to boosting European productivity, innovation capacity and sustainable growth, whilst simultaneously addressing complementary environmental concerns. One specific programme under CIP will be the ICT Policy Support Programme. This programme will build on the aims of the eTEN, Modinis and eContent programmes in line with the new integrated strategy i2010 - European Information Society 2010.
The new ICT PSP programme is currently under preparation. It is anticipated that its website will be live by January 2007, which shall provide all relevant information. In the meantime, please visit the CIP website at: http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/enterprise_policy/cip/index_en.htm
