Die Strategie für das Lebenslange Lernen ... - EUROlocal

206 R3L-INITIATIVE
LUNDS UNIVERSITET (coordinator)
CoLabs.eu – European Network of eLearning CoLabs
I. Problem area
III. Perspectives
CoLabs aimed to identify learning regions as an innovative
system with intra-regional networking and collaborationfacilities
in order to build-up a symbiosis of the local and the
global.
A set of micro-clusters of Triple-Helix-alliances related to
eLearning and the digital knowledge industry has been set
up in six selected regions across Europe. Each micro-cluster
has contributed with regional knowledge and competences
to the common and shared collaboratory for the accumulation,
exchange and sharing of knowledge and competences.
II. Solutions
The main activities of the network consisted of experiments
with a number of different learning scenarios, virtual fieldtrips
and both physical and virtual workshops to exchange
experiences and learn from each other. Each region was presenting
their current regional capacity and bottlenecks for
innovation and in what way the regional micro-cluster of
partners can tackle and solve these issues.
The website is in operation for discussion, news, documentation
and knowledge sharing between the partners as
a central collaboratory for the theory and practice of regional
3rd mission initiatives and to support the establishment of
learning regions at the partners’ locations.
CoLabs, the acronym for the project, will be established as a
formal organisation after the project period and proceed as
a virtual organisation and a network of excellence centres in
the field of collaborative eLearning to support the 3rd mission
of universities and colleges.
