- an Information Society project

The Global Inventory Project (GIP) aims to produce a multimedia inventory of national and international projects, studies and calls (where appropriate) relevant to the promotion and the further development of knowledge and understanding of the information society.

The GIP will build upon and complement ongoing national and international initiatives. The first phase of the project will focus on the creation and implementation of an index and directory system based upon national inventories of significant selected activities being planned or currently under way in the G7 partners.

The inventory will be expanded to include activities of non-G7 countries in order to create a "true and totally open planetary resource" of knowledge, ideas and possible solutions.
