EU projects fuel e-learning initiative.Interactive digital TV (iDTV) learning is growing and an EU-funded team of researchers is supporting this trend by developing tools and methodologies that complement e-learning. The ELU (‘Enhanced learning unlimited’) project, with financial support totalling EUR 2.96 million, will give educators the edge they need to connect with students beyond the classroom.Experts say that while conventional television continues to play a substantial role in the education sector, it is commonly used as a passive medium. The majority of viewers receive the information as observers, not as participants. http://www.elu-project.com/

Study on impact of Future and Emerging Technologies Research initiatives.The study should create a well-founded methodology for impact assessment, that can be applied to research initiatives as set out in one of the work programmes and embodied by the projects funded in such areas. Such an assessment should establish, in particular, to what extent the funding given out by FET has resulted in technological and scientific breakthroughs, changes in the research landscape and environment, (re)structuring of scientific communities (e.g., new interdisciplinary links), and changes in national or international research programmes. Based on the proposed methodology, the following two research initiatives should be assessed as pilot studies, so as to function as case studies for the methodology: Bio-inspired ICT and Quantum Information Processing & Communication. Deadline: 1 July 2009 http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/fet-proactive/usef_en.html
