Country 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.

For a list of the countries of most importance to Re.ViCa, see Country reports


Note that not all countries are represented even in the list below, 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:

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

Countries list

The following is a list of over 100 of the most relevant countries, classified as follows:

  1. Countries in bold italic have comprehensive entries in the approved structure
  2. Countries in bold have entries about their virtual campus activities but maybe not full entries or in the final structure
  3. Countries in italic are target countries still to do.

Other countries may have some information on them of a general or specific nature - see the notes (if any) alongside.

The material is being rapidly updated at present (August-September 2008) - see Special:Recentchanges for the latest information.
