creative use of ICT in teaching and learning, it
increases internationalisation of Europe by cultural
and linguistic diversity. The goal is therefore to

The goal is to highlight the benefits and positive impact

education institution and businesses; it enhances
multilingualism, mobility and gives possibility to learn
throughout the whole life. All these are essential for EU
to become the most dynamic and competitive
knowledge-based economy in the world. The purpose
is to evaluate best investments to human capital
through LLP and to identify the ways to strengthen
the knowledge triangle (education-research-innovation)
