Med Net ‘U - mediterranean network for unified distance learning (University and vocational training level)

The skills and technologies of the educational model of the International Telematic University received a strong in-put from the Project Med Net ‘U, inserted in the UE programme EUMEDIS, in which numerous Euro-Mediterranean Universities had the opportunity to collaborate during the period from 1 September 2002 to 30 June 2006. Within this project, the Consortium NETTUNO had the coordinating role of the horizontal activities (General Management and Dissemination Activities) and was engaged in the management of the “Technological Architecture” sub-project implementation.
