Socrates is Europe’s education programme and involves around
30 European countries. Its main objective is precisely to build up a
Europe of knowledge and thus provide a better response to the major
challenges of this new century: to promote lifelong learning, encourage
access to education for everybody, and help people acquire recognised
qualifications and skills.
The Minerva Action is part of the Socrates programme and specifically
seeks to promote European co-operation in the field of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) and Open and Distance Learning (ODL)
in education.
