Call for Papers
Deadline: 31 January 2014
Amongst the preparation for Christmas and maybe during the restful period of the end-of-year we hope you will find a bit of time to
think over the EDEN 2014 Annual Conference themes and proposals.
Invitation
Developing human potential has been a persistent EU policy aim even in the recent years of economic crisis. Among the goals of the
European Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, Europe 2020, we find employment and innovation, featuring education as a major lever.
The latest ICT solutions for simulations, virtual worlds, immersive learning and enhanced learning experiences are continuously producing
renewed toolkits, supporting the development of authentic learning settings. E-competences and e-skills are increasingly treated as autonomous elements of personal development to be supported by specific learning activities and patterns.
Workplace-based training supported by ICT tools is part of the solution to reduce skill shortages
and mismatches. E-learning has become a dominant delivery method in learning settings at work across various sectors and a wide range of company sizes.
The EDEN 2014 Conference will discover and present the latest best practice in this field, share
progressive concepts, inventive solutions, and promote joint-thinking and collaboration.
Discussion and debate will provide a range of innovative theories and approaches about the ICT-supported learning, educational innovations
and, in particular, open educational resources.

city, and one of the leading centres of Central and South-Eastern Europe, with an abundance of fabulous visitor attractions to discover and explore.
