goals

EUROCITIES Knowledge Society Forum is currently focusing on:

  • ensuring the development of an inclusive Knowledge Society by making ICTs and online services accessible to all citizens
  • promoting the modernisation of local public administrations through the use of ICT solutions
  • enhancing the role cities play in the development of the Knowledge Society by promoting the uptake of ICT solutions and stimulating innovation.
  • fostering the knowledge-based economy

The knowledge-based society presents great opportunities in terms of new employment possibilities, new tools for education and training, easier access to public services, supporting the social inclusion of disadvantaged groups, and the economic development of Europe's cities.

EUROCITIES Knowledge Society Forum provides cities and business partners with a platform for exchanges of good practice and for cooperation on relevant policy issues in a European framework.
