The C@R project is an Integrated Project funded by the IST Priority of the European Commission's 6th Framework. The main vision of the Collaborative Working Environments Unit of the EC, DG INFSO (defined through multiple and diversified works, such as the Rural@Work family of AMI communities) in the field of ICT applications to rural settings is: “to develop Information Society in rural areas, to foster European development and integration, to increase competitiveness of European companies, to stem rural depopulation and to diversify income and employment opportunities in rural areas”.

“Rural” in Europe counts for 80% of European area and 22% of European inhabitants. Rural development is not only about a competitive European agriculture, but each day it is focusing more on meeting the expectations of citizens in rural areas, aiming at a deeper integration into today’s society and promoting economic development. The large opportunities that are offered by technological progress and address key societal challenges still require a significant progress of the state of the art technologies.
