INFORM Workshop

The INFORM Workshop entitled: "User Needs for Mobile Electronic Information Services" took place in Athens, on 20 March, 2003.

An increasing number of users of innovative electronic information services want to access services with various devices and platforms, via different networks, at any time and from any place. The aim of this workshop was to exchange knowledge about how electronic publishing projects elicited user requirements and to enhance awareness of new techniques and methods for user needs analysis.

The workshop was free of charge for IST project participants and brought together experts in user-centred product creation and practitioners from projects developing mobile electronic information services.

The event was organised by ACit GmbH and hosted by INTRACOM in association with the European Commission INFORM project (the publishers of El.pub) which is funded by the Interactive Electronic Publishing sector of the IST programme.

A summary of the workshop has been published by the organisers and is downloadable as a Word document form the El.pub site at: http://www.elpub.org/informathens.doc
