EUROSMART
is working on the launch of a feasibility
study of a Smart Card World Center for Scientific
Information under the “e-Content “
Programme
 The
objective of the project would be to collect
scientific information of quality, to centralized
classify, and disseminated it in on from
a unique on-line support.
The added value of the “Smart Knowledge”
is to create in Europe a smart card digital
scientific information database that could
contribute to maintaining the European leadership
in the smart card strongly competitive industry.
