Title:   ICT research and development collaboration with Europe:
         some thoughts


Abstract:
  Back from two weeks cycling around cities of Europe, Tom  Worthington
  will give a technical travelogue of issues raised with his visits to
  the Microsoft Research Labs, the British Computer Society and University
  of Cambridge. Along the way Tom advised the European Commission on their
  web site (while drinking Belgian beer) and helped with networking at
  the newly established Go8 Australian Centre in Europe  (while drinking
  German beer). He will give some informal suggestions on research
  collaboration with Europe, based on this experience.
