PROJECT OF THE MONTH
EduContact offers the Europeans universities an opportunity to develop their international visibility and networks. The partners - universities, regional authorities, business, employers – can benefit from global visibility and key data on the motivation and the needs expressed towards European distance higher education. The EduContact services are now available also to other European projects that have produced free distance, online self-supported tutorials and modules.
The Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) has published a series of reports on eLearning in the ten Member States that joined the European Union in 2004. The reports describe each country's educational system and the role played by eLearning in it. The research takes into account the major technical, economic, political, ethical and socio-cultural factors of eLearning developments, and the major drivers and barriers for them in each country.
The Europe's biggest research event for information and communication technologies is organised by the European Commission and hosted by the French Presidency of the European Union.

To be able to re-define these literacies in a lifelong learning perspective, we need to face the increasing policy interdependence between Education and Social Inclusion. The session is co-ordinated by Dr. Nikitas Kastis.
