The ITU-T is organizing three open workshops on, respectively, E-Health, E-Government, and Next Generation Networks. A brief description is provided below, together with the URLs pointing to full information. Standardization in E-Health, 23-25 May 2003, Geneva, Switzerland. Standardization in e-health has long been sought, but has so far not produced a very high level interoperability desired by many. In organizing this workshop, ITU-T, with the support of ITU-D and the participation of ISO, IEC and other SDOs, aims at identifying the key issues needed in support of attaining this goal and to identify a possible role to be played in ITU-T to promote such standards.

This workshop looks to develop perspectives for the members and invited guests on the issues facing Member States and vendors in the implementation of e-Government solutions today and in the future, with a focus on standardization issues.

The concept of Next Generation Networks (NGN) is quickly emerging as an essential initiative towards defining "what do we do next?" The current situation in telecommunications is characterised by over-arching market factors encompassing open competition between operators due to the rapid deregulation, the explosion of digital traffic (especially the increasing use of the Internet), in combination with sustained market demand for new generation multimedia services and applications. A key element of the marketplace is the increasing demand for global mobility and nomadism as these become norms from the end user point of view.
