Learning Regions and Cities have become a widely adopted concept in European education policies. Due to the different departures and pathways each of them has developed domain specific knowledge, in the area of social capital building, regarding good governance and institution building, stakeholder collaboration, public-private partnerships and transversal cooperations. R3L+ capitalizes on this diversity by bringing together actors from the respective countries in order to learn from each other and jointly elaborate a common quality framework for collaborative action.
The Society for Educational Studies (SES), established in 1951, is one of the leading societies for the advancement of scholarship, debate, and research in Educational Studies in the United Kingdom. It brings together students, teachers, academics, and researchers together with policy makers and analysts in one comprehensive organization. It exists to support the quality and status of research and scholarship in Educational Studies; sponsor the world class publication British Journal of Educational Studies; encourage debate and discussion, especially on policy issues; and act as a public voice for Educational Studies, particularly in responding to critical attacks upon the quality and integrity of the field.
TRE Networks (TRE = Transformative Regional Engagement) takes a different approach by bringing multiple, proven university programs together, and advocating that development program tools be purchased by regions. This strategy creates practical collaboration between programs and regional players, recognizes the unique context of each region, and allows TRE to quickly customize solutions that integrate regional and national partners' assets. This "pull" model directly cultivates regional transformation efforts across the regional landscape: in small and medium-sized industrial cities, in the urban core, and in rural areas.
UNESCO works to create the conditions for dialogue among civilizations, cultures and peoples, based upon respect for commonly shared values. It is through this dialogue that the world can achieve global visions of sustainable development encompassing observance of human rights, mutual respect and the alleviation of poverty, all of which are at the heart of UNESCO’S mission and activities.
The broad goals and concrete objectives of the international community – as set out in the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – underpin all UNESCO’s strategies and activities. Thus UNESCO’s unique competencies in education, the sciences, culture and communication and information contribute towards the realization of those goals.
UNESCO’s mission is to contribute to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information.
The University Design Consortium, a boundary-spanning organization founded by Arizona State University (USA) and Sichuan University (China), challenges public universities around the world to develop innovative strategies to address the complex issues of the 21st century. Designed as both a think tank and a “do” tank, the consortium engages academic leaders and policy makers to share ideas, generate solutions, and take action to make a difference in society.
The aim of this network proposes to help educational and training institutions to achieve Virtual Mobility and to guarantee EQF implementation through e-learning, aiming at finding specific obstacles in institutions and proposing concrete and innovative solutions. It will promote cooperation and joint work among partner organizations and will link with related initiatives. It will address other educational networks to help the dissemination of the results.
The project is organized in twelve workpackages that cover all activities of the project. The core group is composed by four subject interest groups (SIG) that address the main objectives of the network. Each SIG will research the selected themes, looking for what has been done and proposing answers for the research questions. Each SIG will also look for potential collaboration with other projects and initiatives that are working in similar areas.
