European Commission Libros

One of the European Union's priorities and vital tasks is to disseminate information in all languages. Twenty-three language communities have established a common working environment in order to present a consistent identity of the European Union institutions to citizens. This publication demonstrates that multilingualism need not be a source of disparity as it provides a common point of reference for the different language groups, as well as the institutions, bodies and agencies, which have multiplied over recent years. It draws together linguistic resources, turning apparent disparity into a source of unity between all those involved in producing texts for the European Union.

Hardbound. ESPRIT (European Strategic Programme for Research in Information Technology) is the most ambitious cooperative research programme ever embarked upon in Europe. It spans the area of information technology, enabling cooperation of several hundred large and small industrial companies and research institutions throughout twelve European nations. This volume comprises 82 technical papers selected from the 110 ongoing projects. To improve the value of the book as a source for public information and justification, summaries of all projects launched in 1984 and 1985 have also been included. The contributions are topically arranged to facilitate easy access by the reader.

Hardbound. Reports on the achievements and impact of selected ESPRIT projects are presented in these volumes. The majority of the papers cover the subjects of microelectronics and peripherals, technology, advanced information processing, office systems and computer integrated manufacturing. In addition, there is one session on the network development projects of ESPRIT. A good balance exists between the various specialised areas and also across different European national boundaries.
