ETW 98 Is Taking Shape

Telework Week 1998 is beginning to take shape. The groups and individuals across Europe that make this week the focus of so many of their activities are launching their plans and gathering their resources to generate an even greater impact than we saw in 1997.

In addition to the well-established activities in the countries, which will attract even more participants this year, the Telework Awards are also expanding and we expect to see many examples of excellence in telework development.

As part of Telework Week, we also expect some initiatives whereby the public across Europe can contribute to the understanding and impact of telework.

There are numerous other activities in the European Telework Agenda which continue to focus public attention on the issues and potential of new working practices. In further issues of this newsletter, we shall be reporting on these events and their outcome.

The Telework Week web site www.etw.org is now in place and will start to collect information regarding the various activities about Telework Week, as well as the awards and other items of interest. This web site is complementary to the ETD web site www.eto.org.uk where there is a substantial and rapidly growing repository of information about European, National and local initiatives concerning telework and teletrade.
