The ''Virtual University for Europe'' ('''VirtUE''') project was funded from 1996 until 1998 by the European Commission under the TEN-ISDN Programme.

== Summary ==
 
The VirtUE project was proposed as a feasibility study for the development and implementation of a networked (or distributed, Euro-ISDN based) virtual university for Europe in cooperation between classical unviersities, open universities, technology providers and telecom partners. The project addressed on-campus students at all levels and off-campus students at postgraduate level.
 
Two distinguished parts could be identified in this distributed virtual university: the joint academic network and the services network. The joint academic network (taken up by the three networks in the project, [[EuroPACE]] 2000, [[Coimbra Group]] and Consorzio [[NETTUNO]]) had three functions:
* Universities would provide learning and teaching materials, courses, and programmes to the virtual knowledge pool;
* Through thematic of regional clusters, universities would jointly design curricula and jointly develop courses and programmes;
* Universities would take up available materials to respond to the learning/training needs of students, graduates, companies and society at large.
 
The services network (a function of [[EuroPACE]]) would create all necessary services (infrastructure, technical platform, etc.) and offer them to the users. Within the distributed virtual university, three conceptual models of network-based educational services (making use of ISDN) were introduced:
* Virtual class and campus.
* Network for flexible open and distance learning.
* Network for on-demand learning.
