The increasing interest in information as a vital resource makes it necessary to consider both technology transfer and opportunities for establishing technical and commercial cooperation on an international level. The co-operation of technical and economic research institutes and of researchers with different economic and historical backgrounds provides an interesting basis for interdisciplinarity.

This yer's key topics are:
