A selection of
briefing papers for policy makers on the results of EU funded research
projects in the field of education has been published by the European
Commission. The papers, which cover a wide range of educational issues, each
contain conclusions as well as recommendations for action.
The projects
covered were funded under the EU's FP4 and FP5. In total, the projects
involve more than 420 research teams from across Europe and beyond. While
the scope of the projects is huge, they can be roughly divided into five
categories: research on higher education; school-to-work transitions; new
governance models for education and training; the use of information and
communication technologies (ICT) in learning; and education, inequalities
and social exclusion.
Funding is
available for further research into learning and knowledge under Priority 7,
'citizens and governance in a knowledge-based society' of FP6.
