The project's aim is to facilitate the development of Information Society in Kaunas and Tampere regions within the framework of eEurope initiatives. In this process, Tampere will transfer its know-how to Kaunas regarding Information Society development in the region. Planning and programming skills of the Finnish partners will be transferred to Kaunas partners via training seminars and study visits.

The objectives of the Project are to establish Information Society Partnership between Kaunas and Tampere in science, business, ITT and public administration sectors; further, based on this partnership, Kaunas Region Information Society Partnership Programme for the years 2010 and a relevant Action Plan for the years 2003-2006 will be produced. The overall objective of the Project is to create a contribution to the sustainable IT development in the Baltic Region in general and in regions of Kaunas and Tampere in particular.

Kaunas County Administration is the project leader and BIF is the Finnish coordinator of the project. Project is financed by PHARE CBC Small Project Fund (Lithuania).
