Abstract
The contribution describes a new regional initiative born in collaboration between certain national computer societies and the International Federation for Information Processing. A new, rather informal, regional body has been set up — the Information Technology Standing Regional Committee for Regional Collaboration. Its purpose is to facilitate the cooperative interaction of IT professionals regardless of their momentary employment or any other kind of affiliation. The prerequisites are a professional capacity and a wish to take part in certain kinds of projects. This initiative has attracted rather wide attention and, hopefully, may also be adopted as a paradigm to be used elsewhere wherever such regional collaboration is appreciated.
