The objective of VE-Forum is to provide an integrating portal for all researchers and professionals in the domain of networked businesses and governments in Europe and internationally. It gives easy access to past and future results in the domain and support communication and collaboration as a virtual community. As such, VE-Forum complements NoEs, IPs, and other projects and promotes Europe’s global visibility in the field.

The portal has three main components:

• Access to projects, conferences and other events, and news in the domain
• A knowledge pool with project results, a refereed journal, access to references and journal abstracts, reviews, and working papers, and a who is who directory
• Collaboration workspaces for discussion forums, special interest groups, and intra- and cross-project cooperation Additionally, the project facilitates a European research advisory group on networked businesses and governments and links it with the community and general public for idea exchange and feedback.

A special concern of VE-Forum is to represent and integrate the different sub-communities in the European Research Area (ERA) and facilitate community cooperation and exchange of experience and expertise.
