If you are a member of ELIG and interested in participation, please contact Annemie Boonen at the ELIG secretariat.
Other working groups (i.e. Open Content/Open Resources,...) will be started later this year.
Public Policy Group
Letter to David White
Presentation of ELIG for the working group on Public Policy
- Early January members of the ELIG executive committee have had meetings with EC representatives David White, Director of DG Education and Culture along with Maruja Gutierrez Diaz. A separate meeting with André Richier DG Enterprise - who heads the eSkills initiative in the European Commission - was held, together with EC representatives (DG Research, INFSO, EAC) and from the eSkills initiative. The meetings contributed to position ELIG in the EC policy debate and to explore the opportunities with key players in the field.
- Following these meetings in January, the Public Policy Group has relaunched its activities.
- ELIG will provide input to various EC instruments and programmes under the FP7 and in preparation of the year of creativity.
- First draft list of action points is being defined and will be adapted in the coming months.
