Szentendre, Hungary

Organized by the International Society for Environmental Protection (ISEP), Austria and the Regional Environmental Centre (REC), Hungary on behalf of the European Commission, Directorate General XIII, Telecommunications, Information Market and Exploitation of Research

The immediate objectives of the conference were to

Present the results of Telematics projects in the fields of Environment and Transport (Transport projects of environmental relevance)
Facilitate the possible uptake of TAP results in CEE
Discuss the needs in CEE for Telematics related technologies and the problems associated with their implementation
Outline existing Telematics initiatives/success stories in CEE
Introduce the Telematics Applications Programme (TAP) in CEE

The conference’s longer term aim was to pave the way for the involvement of CEE countries in future Telematics RTD calls and to encourage the adoption of Telematics related applications in CEE, thereby assisting the countries of the region to become part of the broader European "information society". A secondary objective was to improve the state of the environment and the management of transport by raising the standard of information related activities e.g. monitoring, mapping, storage and dissemination of environment and transport information.

The DETERMINE conference addressed especially:

local authority (LA) decision makers
national government administration (heads of departments in charge of state of the environment / transport monitoring / informatics departments)
monitoring and technical experts from National Agencies and regional environmental programmes.
businesses: environmental products and services providers.
scientists currently involved and potential collaborators in Telematics projects.
