The QUAERO program is a French governmental initiative focussing the media content production and management chain with the objective to significantly facilitate access to and usage of multimedia content. Search is central to the programme, which will spend a significant effort into the development of very advanced and possibly disruptive technologies in the areas of audio, language, music, image and video processing as well as data coding, content protection, and high performance networks and storage organization. Total effort planned by the 17 current members is about 2000 Person-years (over 5 years). About the third of this effort concerns technology developments, and the remaining part of the budget is allocated mainly to the development of the applications.
