Project summaryUpdated: 03/05/2004

With core funding from the European Commission’s Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme, STILE aims to provide innovative methodologies and content for the statistical monitoring of the European labour market in the eEconomy. This includes the fine-tuning of statistics to match the eEconomy and the monitoring of ICT-related work patterns. In doing so, STILE aims to contribute to the efficient functioning of the European labour market and to the prevention of social exclusion. It is the explicit project strategy to involve users in a systematic and direct way and to formulate strategies for European convergence in the statistical monitoring of the labour market in the eEconomy.

The difference in pace between the evolution of the socio-economic reality and the development of scientific and statistical monitoring systems remains a challenge for everyone who is concerned with knowledge relating to the Information Society. This concern, and the support of the current and future statistical needs of the IST Programme and its constituencies in particular, is essential for all STILE partners and underpins the collaboration within this consortium.
