Revision as of 12:01, 25 August 2008
To check out a particular country, one can do one of the following:
- access it via the Continents list below
- access it from the Countries list, given after the Continents list
- type its name into the search box - this can be its English name or its "truename" (i.e. its name in the language of the country)
- type its two-letter ISO code into the search box at the side of the wiki screen - for the codes see the Country codes page.
Note that not all countries are represented, only those where it is likely that some Virtual Campus activity is taking place.
The aim long-term is to allow access to countries via their name in any one of the languages in the consortium - English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Finnish and Hungarian. In the meantime here is a list of:
- Countries in Dutch (A-Z)
- Countries in French (A-Z)
- Countries in German (A-Z)
- Countries in Italian (A-Z)
with links to their English names. Native speakers may always check and add.
Authors! See Country template.
Disclaimer
The concept of a "country" is a complex and sometimes contested issue. Inclusion of a country in our list does not imply recognition of the country by any particular nation (or the EU) or approval of its regime by the Re.ViCa project.
Continents list
- Africa
- Americas
- Antarctica - no virtual campuses there
- Asia
- Australasia
