DG Connect

What's in a name? As of 1st of July, the European Commission's Directorate General 'Information Society and Media' will be renamed 'Communication Networks, Content and Technology'. In short: DG Connect.

The new name is meant to indicate a change in the organisation of the DG (pictured in an organisation chart) as well as to emphasise the mission of the DG under the EU's Digital Agenda (see also Commissioner Kroes' blog post 'The Commission changes to face the future: We launch DG Connect').

More information and a mission statement can be found on the DG's website.
