EADTU, the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities, is the representative organisation of both the European open and distance learning universities and of the national consortia of higher education institutions active in the field of distance education and e-learning.
Its web site is http://www.eadtu.nl
The mission of EADTU
EADTU aims to promote the progress of open and distance education and e-learning and its position in Europe and in the world, through active support to the institutional development of its members and to the European co-operation between them in strategic areas. The framework of this is the creation of the European Area of Higher Education (Bologna Declaration), the national and European policies with regard to lifelong learning, the development of competencies for the European citizen and the innovation of e-learning and teaching by the use of ICT. To achieve these objectives EADTU has developed a programme of activities drawing on the strengths of individual members to create a joint response to perceived needs. EADTU's activities are based on the requirements and involvement of all the EADTU members on an equal basis. From 1 January 2006 EADTU is under British presidency, our current President being David Vincent of the UK Open University.
History of EADTU
EADTU was established in January 1987 by the principals of Europe's major distance teaching institutions to foster cooperation between European organisations dedicated to higher education through distance teaching methodology. EADTU is comprised of 21 national members from 19 countries collectively providing distance education programmes to over 2,000,000 students. All members of the association are non-profit institutions.
The EADTU Office
The EADTU office, based in Heerlen, The Netherlands, colocated with OUNL, provides support to member institutions in relation to educational cooperation and common projects. EADTU provides a strategic platform for the European activities of its members that reflects both the strength and expertise of EADTU members. As such EADTU has a vital role to play in determining the future of higher education in Europe.
