Money is now availbale for the project and we are looking for addtional transnational partners. The project is seeking to develop a "Virtual Centre" to help with identifying development of SMEs. This would provide the basis for the development and delivery of a range of training programmes via the internet. It is based on the idea of a "one stop help shop" that will not only provide training, but expertise in a wide range of areas to meet the needs of SMEs. The main focus is famliarising the SMEs in the use of Information Communication Technology systems (ICT) as a source of help for information, advice, consultation, training etc. We would be interested in contacting any proipsective partners in the general area of ICT development for use and application by SMEs. Bolton Institute is a large public funded Institute of Higher Education which is currently seeking university status.
