CHORUS is a European Coordination Action which aims at creating the conditions of mutual information and cross fertilisation between the European projects dealing with Multimedia Content Search Engines.
In order to optimally plan the organisation of the event, we kindly ask you to register as early as possible to the CHORUS event. A small participation fee of 150€ per person to cover the event expenses will have to be paid before the event.
The CHORUS Final Conference will be attended by international experts in the
field of Multi-Media Search engines and Internet applications and services.
In addition, experts from the European Commission will attend and explain
the objectives of the Commission in this area.
By participating as a sponsor, you could help the CHORUS project to finance
the event, and at the same time present the logo or poster of your company
or institute to a large audience. For further details and arrangements,
please contact Markus Kauber at JCP-Consult or by using the CHORUS contact
form (top right corner of page)".
