Pilot action in open and distance learning (education and training)
The European Commission calls for proposals relating to one component of a pilot action in the field of open and distance learning. The call is issued in coordination with related calls for proposals concerning those components of the action which are to be managed by Directorates-General XII and XIII. The pilot action is being launched to demonstrate and develop the possibilities for practical and effective open and distance education and training across the Community via demonstration projects linking the fields of education/training, research and telematics. ECU 1,000,000 will be available for the education/training component which is the subject of this call and which will encompass higher education, school-level education and initial training and professional updating, as envisaged under the proposals for the future SOCRATES and LEONARDO DA VINCI programmes.
