Dear Sir / Madam,

The partners of the IN.TRACK Project:

are pleased to invite you to the European Workshop:

“TOWARDS INTER-REGIONAL COOPERATION AMONG INSULAR REGIONS TO ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE KNOWLEDGE-BASED ECONOMY IN THE E.R.A”

that will take place on 28th November, 2005 in room BEL 53 5TH floor of the Committee of Regions in rue Belliard, 101 , Brussels
The event has been organised within the framework of the IN.TRACK Project (INsular Regions Knowledge TRACKer), one of the 14 projects financed by the European Commission – ‘KnowReg Pilot Action’ whose aim is to foster the development and the implementation of the knowledge-based economy in 4 insular regions of the European Union.

IN.TRACK project partners, acknowledging the important common challenges posed by the knowledge-based economy to insular regions, commit to accomplish the goals of a diversified economy built on Information Society and the converging technologies, while strengthening an innovation culture built on private-public partnerships aimed at enhancing the societal orientation towards education, research and continuous training. Additionally, they share the vision that the cooperation and networking among the regions is an important condition for the development of the knowledge-based society and that can enable the growth of the social capital , sustaining high quality of life standards, desirable by any European citizen.

This event offers insular regions an opportunity to learn about the IN.TRACK experience, current initiatives in the participated 4 insular regions and future actions. Therefore invites any interested region in Europe to discover and join the initiative.

Looking forward to your participation.

Best regards,
