MONITOR Österreich: Berichterstattung über europäische IKT stärken
APA-OTS-Portal für multimediale Presseaussendungen, 8.10.2008
Of the 32 billion euros of the FP7 Co-operation program of the European Commission (EC), 9 billions alone are dedicated to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This is by far the highest budget dedicated to a single research field in Europe: 30 percent above health, 2.5 time more than for nano-technology and 4.5 times more than for food and biotechnology together.
However, the coverage in the media and the journalistic monitoring, even critical, seem to lack behind the financial efforts and the scientific prominence Europe gives to ICT.
Thus Rüdiger Maier had the idea to bring together European science journalists working on ICT topics using the EUSJA network. Maier is member of the Austrian Club of Literacy and Science Journalists (Österreichischer Klub der Bildungs- und Wissenschaftsjournalisten) and editor-in-chief of the Austrian information technology magazine "Monitor" (http://www.monitor.co.at/, German only),
To have a start, Maier organised a study trip for EUSJA members which will provide an overview of Europe's latest ICT efforts.
