The Best eEurope Practices (BEEP) Project collects, analyses and
refines good practices in a variety of socio-economic areas, by collecting
case studies and coding them according to a wide variety of indicators.
This has resulted in an extensive Beep Knowledge System relating to employment
and skills, the digital SME, social inclusion and regional cohesion. The
Beep project widely disseminates these results both via electronic and
traditional methods.
The knowledge base is open to the public, and has extensive search mechanisms.

The overall objective of the MUTEIS project is to explain and understand functional and spatial diversity in Europe's digital economy both from a macro and local/urban perspective. We want to improve knowledge of the macro economic impact of the digital economy, but also on the origins and causes of local diversities in the development of the digital economy as we believe that the urban stories help to understand the macro-overall pattern. The analysis should improve the design and implementation of policy action on European, national and urban levels that efficiently and effectively help Europe's transition into the digital economy in a sustainable way
- enhance understanding of the economic, environmental and social impacts of teleworking
- identify ways in which these can be influenced by organizations and Governments
- develop tools and guidance materials to enable organizations to evaluate and optimize the sustainability of teleworking initiatives.
