ICT Policy Support Programme National Contact Points

The National Contact Points (NCPs) for the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Policy Support Programme (PSP) under the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (CIP) of the European Commission play a key role for disseminating and providing assistance to the European players on the new opportunities under CIP ICT PSP. This includes, among its numerous areas, some of the former eTEN covered themes of eGovernment, eHealth, eInclusion, eLearning, Services for SMEs and Trust & Security. Only a strong network of NCPs, well trained and provided with the marketing, dissemination and networking tools can ensure the necessary mobilisation of local actors around the programme. This action aims also to provide the NCPs with such tools.

NCPs are established in each EU Member State and provide a local support on the CIP ICT PSP programme. Please contact the NCP in your Member State in your own language with any query about the programme.
