SUSTEL is a two year research project on teleworking financed by the European Commission's IST initiative. It involves collaboration between seven partners - Avanzi (Italy), BT (UK), Danish Technological Institute (DTI), Empirica (Germany), Telewerk Forum (Netherlands), University of Bradford (UK) and the project coordinator, the UK Centre for Environment and Economic Development (through its research unit, SustainIT). The project commenced in January 2002 and aims to:
* enhance understanding of the economic, environmental and social impacts of teleworking
* assess the extent to which the impacts of teleworking change over time
* identify ways in these can be influenced by organizations and Governments
* develop tools and guidance materials to enable organizations to evaluate and optimize the sustainability of teleworking initiatives.
