Building a European Research Area in the field technology-enhanced learning

Two Networks of Excellence were launched at the start of FP6, with the aim to establish a coherent and strong European Research Area for technology-enhanced learning. A third Network of Excellence has started in 2009 under FP7. It will set a new and critical foresight agenda and address the various challenges and degrees of fragmentation that remain in the area.

Bringing together experts from many disciplines, the networks integrate cutting-edge research in the fields of educational, social, cognitive and computational sciences and emerging technologies.
