The first calls for proposals under this programme were launched on 21 June 1996 (OJ No S 118 of 21.6.1996). These concern the setting up of a multimedia information network and a call for multimedia content projects. The Commission has recently published the results of these calls.

Among actions which will be undertaken by the network are: ■ Creation of a human and electronic (WWW) network; ■ Development of common projects; ■ Stimulation of cooperation of Member States' activities for the creation of an Information Society; ■ Exchange/transfer of expertise by spreading success stories and best practice about multimedia technologies.
