Data Source Provider: Europe Innova
A workshop to discuss 'fostering cross-fertilisation between European satellite-space-based application and service providers, enablers and the development of lead markets' will take place on 25 October in Munich, Germany.
The aim of the workshop is to launch a permanent and common platform to facilitate exchange and joint activities of the leading European regions and clusters engaged in global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based applications and services. Stakeholders are invited to share their vision of the platform. Specifically, they will discuss:
- increasing the visibility of participating European SatNav/Space-based application and service regions;
- improving networking between relevant actors in the SatNav/Space area across Europe;
- creating a basis for joint activities of companies and organisations from the different regions.

Title: Meeting on standardisation in the field of internet filtering tools
Record control number: 26484
Data Source Provider: European Committee for Standardization, CEN
A meeting on the potential for standardisation in the field of internet filtering will take place in Brussels, Belgium, on 27 October 2006.
Nearly half of all people in the European Union are now internet users. However, potentially harmful and illegal material exists on the internet, and in response to this, consumers are turning to filtering tools to protect children and to defend themselves against viruses and unwanted 'spam' e-mail. The performance of these tools varies widely, and consumers often find them difficult to use .
ANEC, the European Association for the Co-ordination of Consumer Representation in Standardisation has commissioned a report into the potential of standardisation in this domain. This will be presented and discussed at the meeting, together with the options for standards action needed to implement the recommendations.
