Dragi colegi, Colaborez intr-un proiect european care, printre altele, isi propune sa completeze o baza de date on line cu informatii privind proiecte de cercetare in tarile UE si candidate privind guvernarea europeana. Baza de date exista deja ca structura, eu sunt printre cei care au job-ul de a aduna informatiile relevante si completa respectivele intrari. Proiectul se cheama Connex, si ceva informatii generale despre acesta se pot gasi pe http://www.connex-network.org Mai jos am copiat descrierea tipurilor de proiect despre care am nevoie sa culeg informatii. Proiectele nu trebuie sa priveasca neaparat romania, dar sa fie dezvoltate ca afiliere cu o institutie romaneasca. Informatiile care vor fi introduse in baza de date sunt: numele cercetatorilor, institutia cu care sunt afiliati, numele si o scurta descriere a proiectului atat in limba originala cat si in engleza. Baza de date va fi accesibila online pentru oricine, si cred ca este in interesul tuturor colegilor nostri, in cazul in care au dezvoltat astfel de proiecte, sa apara mentionati in aceasta baza de date, intrucat faciliteaza interesul celor interesati de aceasta tema la contributiile lor. Multumesc mult, si sper sa primesc cat mai multe raspunsuri si cat mai curand. Baza de date va fi gata in Septembrie 2005, si accesibila incepand din noiembrie 2005.
