Background: European Telework Week
Telework Week started in 1995 and has grown from a handful of activities in a few countries to more than 100 events including some in countries outside Europe. Estimated attendance has reached over 10,000 people, with millions more reached through a range of radio and TV activities. e-Work Week is the main outreach activity of the European Telework Agenda, alongside European Telework Online and the annual European Telework Assembly. European Telework Online was created to support the first telework week and has grown to be the world's most comprehensive and busiest telework site.More background can be found at the e-Work Week web site.
Corporate Support
In 1995 the main support for Telework Week came from the European Commission and the European Telework Online web site, with a lot of voluntary work by activists in countries. For 1999 there were five main "corporate partners" - France Telecom, Telecom Italia, Siemens, Cisco, Toshiba - demonstrating the value placed on this event by leading players in the IT and telecommunications sectors. There are opportunities to partner with and benefit from e-Work Week at both European and national levels and also by supporting or organising specific activities.
More about partnering at the e-Work Week site.
