Hey people, did you know that European Union is offering funding for
various
(also Open Source) eLearning projects inside the EU region. Now it's
time to
write and send an application because the period for applications is
closing
in end of March, 2002.
I think it's possible to get support for Open Source eLearning projects.
In
Council of the European Union Resolution, 2001/C 204/02, chapter 10)
part
VIII, Invites the commission:
"To support the development of European multilingual educational
resources,
platforms and services, taking into account, when necessary, education
and
training-related aspects of intellectual property rights and the use of
new
distribution methods, and the development and promotion of
internationally
aspected standards and open source software"
