Supported under the 2007 ICT PSP Call and building on the experience gained from the STORK Project, the EU's main e-identity project, this project aimed to ensure the convergence of the public and private sectors in an operational framework and infrastructure for identity verification. The project was based on secure storage and sharing of data, and pilots were carried out on "e-learning and academic qualifications", "e-banking", "public services for business" and "e-health". In addition to Turkey, 62 partners from Spain, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom took part in the project, which is closely related to the main e-health and e-government projects such as epSOS, PEPPOL, SPOCS and eCODEX, which are being carried out under the ICT PSP in the European Union.
