welcome

Welcome to this blog about the e-Communities project which has been set up by Highlands & Islands Enterprise to look at the opportunities for our rural communities to use information and communications technology (ICT) in order to make their work more efficient and effective. Over the next few months we will highlight the various issues that communities face, provide signposts to possible solutions, and invite comments to help us further our understanding of needs and challenges.

We are currently analysing a recent survey of the sample islands of Skye and Raasay which will help build a picture of ICT activity among the community sector. We invite comments from across the Highlands and Islands, and indeed across the globe. We are very interested to find out about ICT projects which aim to:
  • improve communication and the exchange of information
  • make better use of restricted resources
  • create new and better ways of working
