This event addresses researchers interested in submitting project proposals to the 8th ICT call under FP7, objective ICT-2011.8.1: Technology-enhanced Learning. The information day aims at helping participants to better understand the work programme and criteria for the evaluation of proposals, to facilitate sharing of ideas and experiences, and to meet potential partners for project consortia.

What can you expect?

• A plenary session in the morning will provide participants with information on the current work programme and on practical issues related to preparing proposals.
• The parallel sessions before and after lunch aim exploring in more depth each of the outcomes specified in the work programme. Discussions will be based on contributions and questions from participants. The topics of the parallel sessions are:
  - Adaptive learning systems - Objective 8.1.a
  - Educational technologies for science, technology and maths - Objective 8.1.b
  - Advanced solutions for fast and flexible learning at the workplace (targeting, in particular, SMEs) - Objective 8.1.c
  - Creativity in learning processes - Objective 8.1.d
  - Exploratory activities and networks- Objective 8.1.e
• The agenda can be downloaded here.

How can you take part?

• All through the day, participants will have the possibility to present posters in the foyer where coffee will be served. This will be the space to meet potential project partners and to exchange ideas.
• In the parallel sessions will be room for a number of short presentations from participants. These should not take longer than five minutes, be limited to the research area addressed by the session and focused on the following questions:
  - Where do you see the main challenges for research in the area?
  - How do you address these challenges in your project idea?
  If you wish to present your project idea, please send the slides of your presentation on Tuesday, 27 September at the latest to the TeLearn mailbox. Please indicate clearly which outcome you are addressing.
• In the afternoon (14:30-17:00), participants can present proposal ideas or ask specific questions in bilateral meetings with Commission staff. If you are interested, please inform the registration desk when you arrive at the meeting. It is not necessary (and not possible) to register in advance for bilateral meetings.
