The Horizontal E-Learning Integrated Observation System (HELIOS) was selected in 2004, and funded from 1 January 2005 until 31 December 2006 by the European Commission - DG Education & Culture under the eLearning programme.

Summary
HELIOS aimed, in collaboration with the European Commission, to establish and consolidate a sustainable observation platform able to dynamically monitor the progress of e-Learning in Europe vis-à-vis policy objectives and to forecast future scenarios of e-Learning evolution, thus closing the gap between the large amount of "fragmentary" data existing today about e-Learning policies, practices, research and market and the need for understandable, usable and coherent policy-related information by European national and local policy makers.
HELIOS aimed at observing the state of development of eLearning and the impact of eLearning on the following thematic policy priorities:
- Access to learning
- Employability
- Personal development/citizenship
- Internationalisation of Education and Training
- Organisational change
- Innovation of Education and Training
HELIOS therefore set up a reporting mechanism that produced reports every four months based on desk research and on a set of extensive surveys carried on with the support of Cedefop's electronic training village.
