    The project “Improvement of national SchoolNets in Europe” plans to make an European survey/analysis of on ICT based regional and national SchoolNets. It targets especially to the educational EU-objectives of Lisboa of the year 2000, whereas it will be researched if the objectives and plans have been achieved or accordingly are initiated.

    The first project phase will be needed only to do research and make surveys in the thematic field.

    For the second project phase the project plans to organize a conference in Austria and Slovenia, where we have to present and show analysis of the outputs and results of the first project phase. At this stage we have to collect all information and we should know exact the standard how the different web-based, interactive SchoolNets are working. After conference the main task is to publish a brochure with all information of the project (Overall view, comparative analysis, results and outputs of the conference). All outputs and products will be published at a project website. The project duration will be one year.
