This presentation informs you about the general acitivities of the ICT department of the Vysocina' s Regional Authority.

We are offering you the opportunity to look into the world of the most interesting projects concerning information technologies that have been created in the Vysočina Region, in the five years since its establishment. On a sustained and targeted basis, we have supported the activities of the self-governing authorities in upgrading their activities and the services they render, by using information technologies, exchanging experience, and co-operating in projects on the national and international levels.

This brochure decribes one of the most important regional ICT project called ROWANet network. It is the regional backbone network based on the fibre optics and CWDM technologies, which is used by public sector within the region and brings new public e-services. Project was cofinanced by EU Structural Funds and has been finished in March 2006.

We would like to present you a very interesting map composition made by our GIS section. It shows the drawing of the Vysocina Fund financial resources used for ICT development in 2002 - 2006.
