Project TELESOL Telework solutions for
promotion of EU cooperation in business and
research with the Commonwealth of Independent
States (Accompanying measures)
Bringing the best IST and EU telework solutions
to the CIS countries

Three major lines of the project

• which IST projects, which EU teleworking tools
  or methodologies can be the best for the use in
  the CIS countries?
• which operational EU-CIS business teleworking
  systems can be the best to show them as positive
  or negative experience of teleworking?
• what are the local telework problems and how the
  particular CIS country is ready for the telework?
