Subject: RECHERCHE DE RESEAUX

Monsieur SCHOULLER,

Suite à notre entretien téléphonique de ce jour, veuillez trouver
ci-joint une description en Anglais de notre société.
Nous cherchons actuellement des réseaux pédagogiques importants ( au
moins une cinquantaine d'établissements connectés ou en voie de l'être=
 )
pour mettre en place un réseau de réseau visant à expérimenter la
formation à distance et le travail collaboratif. Les réseaux doivent
également être soutenus par les autorités locales.

In order to apply to the Educational Multimedia Software Call, we are
looking for regional networks of schools and universities ( more than 50
connected or to be connected ) in order to experiment the use of
networks and groupware in new way of teaching. In France we have the
regional plateform of Picardie Region - EDUCAPOLE - as test-bed.
