Information Systems in Albania • Internet and networks – a challenge to Albania • ICT – effective tool for the economy • Economy – competitive, efficient and productive
Research projects • SEEREN2 • SEE-GRID-2 • Risk assessment for customs in western Balkans (RACWEB) • WEB-ENV
Main Obstacles for the Creation of a National System • Research capabilities in Albania have been severely affected by a rapid political change, internal conflict and the transformation from a state-run to market economy. • Fragmentation of efforts in providing support infrastructure and limited skills in bringing about collaboration among independent stakeholders with complementary interests • There is no national education or research network in Albania. • The main decision makers on regard are not fully aware of ICT importance as a mean of modernization • Public awareness is quite low, maybe due to limited chances for internet and computer usage
Organisations Able to Undertake a National Project Public entities • The main governmental body responsible for R&D activities in Albania is the Ministry of Education and Science. • Information Society Agency. Some of the most successful private companies in Albania able to undertake a national project: • INFOSOFT SOFTWARE DEVELOPER (ISD): • ISSETI • INTECH: • PRONET: • FASTECH: • FUTURE BUSINESS SYSTEMS (FBS) :
RTD information systems in Albania Currently, there is no RTD information system proposed.
Initiating the Project Aid from abroad can be offered in: • To compile an agenda which will define the action-plan needed in order to start the establishment of this system • To include decision taking actors and to coordinate the first steps in establishing the system (the study of the current situation, the capacities and possibilities of infrastructure implementation). • To begin the said system establishment, in parallel with or right afterwards the necessary infrastructure creation. • To monitor systems establishment ongoing. • To adjust, test and maintain the system.
Progress in the RTD Programmes • The requested information will be easy to find • The time needed to elaborate the information will be shorter. • Increase chances for cooperation with scientific communities. • Preferential access to R&D infrastructure and the support in infrastructure development in the West Balkan countries in specific area • There’s a major contribution to the development of innovative small and medium enterprises considered as a main pillar of national innovation systems. • Fostering the active participation of the different companies (public and private), institutions, R&D centres in the R&D programmes remains a goal to be met.
