This is a call for project proposals for the cafe9.net European
networking venue.

cafe9.net is a networking project linking seven of the nine European
Culture Capitals 2000 cities to the wider Internet -- Avignon, Bologna,
Helsinki, Brussels, Reykjavik, Bergen, and Prague.  Each city will host
a cafe venue with up to eight networked PC computers and a
video-projected
"stage" area.  The local venues will coordinate with each other in a
variety
of projects, and will have a trained staff of hosts to facilitate public
participation. Each location will have a good Internet connections,
access to
servers and a full range of ISDN/IP-based technologies and services
including
FTP, IRC, multi-point ISDN video-conferencing with a video-stage,
listservs,
telnet, www/vrml-hosting, real-audio/video  and other streaming media
servers, with additional technologies as they become available.

We are seeking projects that emphasize the use of the local and global
Internet as a creative space for communications, learning, artistic
activity,
and the construction of long-term social networks. The venues will be
open to the public during the months of
September and October 2000, with the month of August reserved for
training
and testing.  There are no geographic limitations for projects, although
those
originating from one of the European Culture Capitals or specifically
targeting cafe9.net network participants will receive special
consideration.

Projects need to follow the basic technical and time limitations of
cafe9.net
as outlined above.  Other technological resources may be proposed and
implemented depending on availability and funding.

Funding possibilities will be determined on a per-project basis.

Please send project proposals including the following information to
