CALIMERA, related projects, enlargement and international work 

CALIMERA builds upon the achievements the PULMAN Network of Excellence which has already set the scene for promoting best practice among local institutions throughout Europe and will provide a basis for the CALIMERA agenda. 

The project will also develop synergies with related activities in the area of Heritage for All and recently agreed networking ventures CHIMER, CIPHER, COINE , FP 5 projects and networking actions such as ACTIVATE, MUSICNETWORK, TRIS, BEASTS, SEIN, and recently agreed networking ventures under FP6 such as BRICKS, DELOS, EPOCH ,and PRESTOSPACE. 

CALIMERA will also benefit from the recommendations and guidelines on digitisation which MINERVA is developing to address the needs of local institutions.

It will identify country co-ordination groups, national representatives and industry participants in virutally all the countries of Europe and will organize expert workshops on key topics. 

It will foster collaboration with Europe's research partner countries all over the world and with international and national funding agencies dealing with the local services dimension.
