Virtual and E-mobility for Networking Universities in Society

The Virtual and E-mobility for Networking Universities in Society (VENUS) project was selected in 2005, and funded from 1 March 2006 until 29 February 2008 by the European Commision - DG Education & Culture under the eLearning programme.

The VENUS web site is at http://www.venus-project.net/ & http://www.venus-seminars.net/

Summary

According to the original project description:

VENUS aims to internationalise prestigious courses, with international scope and importance, in each member university through virtual mobility, open to both students and citizens. The content will focus on promoting European citizenship, collaboration and personal development... The overall objective is to create a sustainable best-practice example of the "Faculty of Extension", extended both in the sense of methods and target public.

Outcomes

The main outcome of the VENUS project is the handbook Virtual Seminars. Creating New Opportunities for Universities, edited by Sally Reynolds, Kamakshi Rajagopal and Bieke Schreurs.

The Venus Summary Booklet and Recommendations are available in three languages: English, French and German.
