About @LIS

@LIS is a strategic cooperation programme of the European Commission (DG Europaid) between Europe and Latin America aiming at promoting economic development and citizens' participation in the global information society.

With a total budget of 77,5 Million €, @LIS aims at extending the benefits of the information society to all citizens in Latin-America and reduce the digital divide by supporting dialogue and cooperation amongst all IS users in both regions.

@LIS supports:

  • 19 Demonstration Projects on e-local governance, education and cultural diversity, e-public health and e-inclusion.
  • A Policy and Regulatory dialogue aiming at consolidating the relations between EU and LA.
  • A Dialogue on Open and Global standards aiming at favoring a better integration of Latin-American countries in the Global Information Society.(www.etsi.org/@lis)
  • An Exchange and support platform for Latin-Amercan Regulators, Operators and companies and a programme of for the staff of Latin-American regulatory orgaisations (www.regulatel.org).
  • An Infrastructure Network reinforcing the interconnection between research and development communities across Europe and Latin-America (www.dante.net/alice).
  • An International Stakeholders Network stimulating dialogue and collaboration amongst policy makers, civil society and research community and building an active community of stakeholders around the @LIS programme (www.alis-online.org).

@LIS ISN - International Stakeholder Network


@LIS ISN aims at strengthening the impact of the @LIS programme amongst the users' communities by creating, structuring and maintaining a close and lively link between experts, researchers, users groups and policy makers.

In order to do so, @LIS ISN will:

  • build awareness on @LIS results, so contributing to the long term development of dialogue and collaboration between Europe and Latin America in the implementation of Information Society policies and innovative practices
  • build partnership through a network of local actors which will remain active after the end of the @lis Programme, in order to facilitate the sustainability of the cooperation between the two continents.

    • @LIS ISN aims at maximising the Programme impact through specific support. ISN will create, structure, animate and maintain a link between the relevant stakeholders which will benefit from the demonstration projects activities and outputs, and the EU and LA national and regional policy makers who are in charge of public measures to support the full deployment of Information Society in economy and society. The challenge to be met by the @LIS ISN action is to build up and strengthen a sustainable partnership between Latin America and the European Union by relating networks of stakeholders (national and regional policy makers, local authorities, educational bodies, non-profit organisations, civil society actors), by establishing a knowledge network between the two continents (intensively using the tools and approaches of the Information Society itself).

The project is carried out by a consortium of four partners:
