Follow their activity and find their reports on the following pages. The Expert Group discussed on the vision of next generation Collaborative Working Environments (NGCWE), the characteristics of the "upper layer" collaboration at work middleware required for realizing this vision, and the RTD challenges that need to be tackled with at European level to achieve the objectives defined.

Advisory Group

The interdependencies between research and policy elements in areas such as new working environments are such that they require ongoing tracking of developments and aligning strategies accordingly. The proposed Advisory Group is primarily there to review and provide advice on the changing research and policy landscape affecting new working environments, and to provide input with respect to the scientific and technical design elements of work on New Working Environments, as enshrined in IST Work Programme(s) and in our Mission Statement. Members of the Advisory Group are in a unique position to support the activities of members of our research unit on New Working Environments.
