The consortium working on this project is a balanced selection of both active developers of e-learning methods and content as well as VET entities undertaking vocational education and training using novel methods and approaches. The range of consortium partners include Northern Europe, Central Europe and Southern Europe. However, although the consortium represents well various areas of expertise, it has been kept relatively small by size to ensure fluency in work and accurate level of participation of each partner.
The activities within the consortium have been allocated according to the previous work references as well as interest expressed by the various members of the consortium. However, it is important to highlight the complementary competences of the consortium members. The various partners will also be responsible for the actual organisation of the local activities (national/regional expert panels as well as thematic interviews).
All the project partners are experienced in European projects, and thus it is expected that the work of the consortium can start effectively. The consortium will be coordinated by Scienter (Italy) which has a strong experience in coordinating European learning projects.

The European Foundation for Quality in eLearning (EFQUEL) is a initiative from three successful European eLearning projects (EQO, coordinated by the University of Duisburg-Essen-Germany, Seel, coordinated by Eifel and Seequel, coordinated by the MENON Network. They approach quality in e-learning from complementary perspectives and develop full-scale services for all educational fields, regional contexts and target groups. The Foundation will serve as sustainable and proactive network and will provide valuable services to the European eLearning community. The Foundation's initiators are EIFEL, European Schoolnet, FIM Newlearning, MENON Network, University of Duisburg-Essen-Germany and the University of Reading. EFQUEL is providing support, transparency, open participation and leadership for a broad range of topics. The purpose of the foundation is to involve actors in a European community of users and experts to share experiences on how eLearning can be used to strengthen individual, organisational, local and regional development, digital and learning literacy, and promote social cohesion. |
