The Commission has launched a new e-Network designed to make scientific advice more available to policy-makers at the EU and national level called SINAPSE (Scientific Information for Policy Support in Europe).
The new web-platform is to promote and encourage exchange of information between policy-makers and the scientific community. It will aim to be:
A library of scientific opinion and advice
A tool for the Commission to consult the scientific community
An early-warning system
A forum for communication across Europe
A ’Who’s Who’ and ’Yellow Pages’ of European science
A portal for web searching
The registration phase has started on 10 March 2005. During this phase efforts will be primarily targeted on building the SINAPSE community.
