ICT Challenge 8: ICT for Learning and Access to Cultural Resources
The challenge addresses the need for flexible and efficient access to information and knowledge, for educational, training and cultural purposes.
It focuses on advances in how we learn through ICT and on enhancing the meaning and experiences from digital cultural and scientific resources. It responds to societal (active and responsible learners) and economic needs of individuals and organisations (better skilled and creative workforce).
Research under this Challenge will fuel progress in a wide range of applications from schools to workplaces, museums, libraries and other cultural institutions. Individual personal spheres are being extended by advances in areas like pervasive network environments, social networking technology and mobile computing, rising the expectations of users and consumers of the digital learning and cultural resources in terms of level of interaction and engagement.
The aim is to exploit Europe’s vast and exclusive cultural resources and learning traditions as a source of innovation and creativity, for businesses, researchers, educational organisations and the general public.
