Other EU programmes and initiatives
Besides the IST Programme, there are a number of other initiatives and programmes which support (e-)learning or education and training in general, although with a different focus.
The programme eContentplus (2005-2008) is designed to support the development of multi-lingual content for innovative, on-line services across the EU. The programme addresses specific market areas where development has been slow: geographic content (as a key constituent of public sector content), educational content, cultural, scientific and scholarly content. The programme also supports EU-wide co-ordination of collections in libraries, museums and archives and the preservation of digital collections so as to ensure availability of cultural, scholarly and scientific assets for future use.
The Lifelong Learning Programme covers the period 2007-2013, and is the successor to the Socrates, Leonardo da Vinci and eLearning programmes. It has a budget of ? 6 970 million to support projects and activities that foster interchange, cooperation and mobility between education and training systems within the EU.
