Organization Details:

Construction of a Transnational "Consortium" for improving “MENTAL CHANGE” project proposal .

the “Mental Change” Citizen –3 proposal for “e.Govern and e.entrepreneurchip innovation" would like to be developed as a sum of some National or Regional Working Plans where the components of each national/regional sub-project can belong to the similar composition integrating the followingcomponents :

a) Governmental Entities
b) Centers of Research & Development
c) SME's or Industrial Associations , Commercial Chambers
d) Mass Media and ITC firms for a large dissemination of the project proposal and results

I think the project will be an effective an opportunity to develop a Knowledge Management innovation Trans-European Consortium based on a bench marking and best practices strategy for improving MENTAL CHANGE in e.Govern oin some national or Regional Districts for a large extension of sharing e.govern innovative knowledge in the context of an Extended European Community .

Finally the main goal the project will be to understand the deep needs Of “MENTAL CHANGE” and to propose the strategies of development new entrepreneurship appropriated for growing up Extended Networking Enterprises connecting in a business-networks, University- SME's, Industries and Governmental Institutions , in a way that will be more easy to improve the KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY in an Extended Europe context.

Nota: I would like to remember that will be effective partners of the project
MENTAL CHANGE all grouping of institutions and enterprises that will be
able to co-organize a "National // Regional // Transnational Interest Group" ( NIG//RIG//TIG ) to share in an European Extended Networking Context " Knowledge Economy" developmental ideas and actions.

As a matter of facts the MENTAL CHANGE PROGRAM will be co-organized through a collaboration among network’s communities that can be structured at territorial (National or Regional) level but also as well trans-national grouping oriented to particular RTD thematics priorities in the fields concerning the development of the future European Knowledge Driven Society.

So that I suggest that you contact your colleagues belonging to of the same nation or that will be e.work in particulat themes of RTD , until now express to me their intention to collaborate to the development of the project idea MENTAL CHANGE and in any case I suggest to all the potential partners to tray to develop a “National Regional or also an Transnational Interest Grouping” (TIG) .

Therefore I appreciate if you can look forward a strong collaboration for innovating e.Govern strategies in Europe within the proposal to participate to the CITIZEN 3 call of FP6 Program , of the LRE-EGO-CreaNET of the Florence University and the TUSCANY REGION . (Italy) and in cooperation with MONDO GIT ( Groups of
Territorial Interest) an initiative of the the Italian Ministry of Scientific Research:
