The EU maze

It never ceases to amaze me how the EU has managed to disperse its Web sites so much that I always find it difficult to get to the information I need quickly.

This short guide to the various EU sites that are relevant to health informatics aims to guide you quickly through the EU maze.

The abbreviations explained:

EU: European Union
DG: Directorate General
CORDIS: Community Research and Development Information Service
ISPO: Information Society Project Office
TAP: Telematics Applications Programme
