ECHO DEFINITION
An initiative sponsored by the EU Commission and Switzerland in the 5th Framework Program (FP5), fostered by three Max Planck Institutes and 13 other European partners. The first phase of ECHO is planned for 18 months. An "Expression of Interest" to expand the ECHO-Project in FP6 has been submitted.
There is a growing understanding that in order to exploit the opportunities of the emerging European Research Area (ERA), social sciences and humanites need advanced structures and an improved infrastructure able to cope with the challenges of the ongoing Internet Revolution. This goal can be achieved by creating a growing and at the same time evolving multidisciplinary and integrative network of research institutes, archives, libraries, museums and other institutions on the one side as well as their research and corpora of knowledge on the other.
