EU[eComp]Int is the portal site of the European eCompetence Initiative. It provides up-to-date coverage of the project aims and activities and essential information on the topic of eCompetence seen from a European perspective.

The aim of the European eCompetence Initiative is the development of an appropriate qualification for academic staff (in Higher Education) in the use of ICT in teaching and learning.

The European eCompetence Initiative is a highly specialised, large size network (23 partners), which is looking at individual and organisational strategies for the integration of ICT in Higher Education. The partner institutions participate and share knowledge in four distinct project subtopics. A coordination team defines the activities and realises the project symposiums within the consortium network.

The activities and expected results of the European eCompetence Initiative address two target groups:

• HE staff developers and actors in the field of e-learning who are directly involved in ICT-related education and training activities and are open to educational innovation
• HE policy and decision makers who work on strategies for the sustainable integration of ICT-related staff qualifications into their core institutional business frameworks.
