As part of the 5th Framework Programme, the European Commission supports research and development activities in the field of digital imaging, in particular within the Information Society Technologies (IST) specific Programme. This paper briefly introduces the IST Programme and gives an overview of collaborative projects most relevant to imaging research. The EU's 6th Framework Programme is also briefly discussed and orientations for the integration of imaging research are proposed.
