- 1997-1998: ELECTRA (European Electronic Information
Center for Adult Education) - ISPO project IS 97270:
ELECTRA was an Internet portal to adult education and
lifelong learning in Europe including both its own Database
and links to Internet sites for searching in other
Databases. The ELECTRA as information concerned 6 European
Union Countries namely France, Germany, Hellas, Italy,
Scotland, and Sweden and was provided in the language of
each country. ELECTRA web servers existed for all
participating countries giving improved accessibility to
information. You could therefore, select the relevant
server to gain access to country specific information. You
could search all the ELECTRA databases for contents on any
server. However each local server provided links to other
information sources (web sites or Databases) which were
relevant only to the specific country.
- 1999-2000: VES (Virtual European School, Joint Call for
Educational Multimedia Programme, EU). There exist three
user groups within the VES: publishers, teachers and
pupils. Each of these groups was offered a user interface
with special functionalities. Publishers were supported by
tools in order to manipulate content in the database.
Teachers were provided with an intelligent agent in order
to search and compose lessons. Pupils could view the
pre-selected material and would normally enter VES through
a 3D interactive virtual environment.
- 2001: Today’s Stories (ESPRIT-i3-ESE Project No. 29312).
Today's Stories develops an approach to learning for young
children (4 to 8) that is aimed at the development of
social, communicative and emotional skills in the context
of their everyday activities. The underlying idea is,
first, that children may learn from reflecting on their
actions and, second, that children may learn from other
children's perspectives on their own actions. The results
of Today's Stories are developed and applied within two
school environments, in Denmark and in Israel. Exploiting
the significant differences between both settings, the
project pays attention to social, cultural and ethical
implications, as well as to the conditions for acceptance
and success. CTI is responsible for the development of the
Multimedia Editing Environment. This will serve as the
medium for the presentation of the children's stories and
material.
- 2000-2002: INVITE (Intelligent Distributed Virtual
Training Environment, IST Programme, Key Action III.3.3,
Advanced Training Systems, EU). The main aim of the project
is to build an innovative support system for collaborative
learning over distance through distributed and shared
virtual environments. INVITE will be a platform for
synchronous tele-learning providing users with
functionality which supports social learning process
through distributed virtual environments plus all those
features, which are needed to create a collaborative
learning experience. The INVITE environment will be an
integrated system, which is able to educate its users in
carrying out tasks within the environment in an efficient
and intelligent way, with the use of intelligent agents.
The INVITE environment will be designed as an open system,
which can be interfaced with standard instructional
management systems and data-representation schemes.
- 2002-2003: EDCOMNET (A Humanistic Urban
Communal-Educational Net, IST Programme, Action Line
III.2.2 The learning citizen, EU). EDCOMNET is an
educational communal net, a virtual learning community
platform for adult citizens to be set up in many regions of
the European Union and associated countries like Israel.
The net will act as a portal stimulating the active
learning of social skills by the citizen, thus enhancing
the social integration of individuals within urban
communities. It will empower the individual citizen to be a
self-reliant part of society, fostering creativity and
autonomous opinion forming as well as decision-making. The
EDCOMNET system will be a network based information system
consisting of a number of local servers. The different
servers communicate through the Internet but will operate
in the local language and will be embedded in the regional
cultural context. In the underlying RTD project a novel
multi-agent infrastructure will be developed enabling
information retrieval relevant to the needs of average
citizens as users.
- 2002-2005: VirRAD The Virtual Radiopharmacy – a Mindful
Learning Environment (IST Programme, Key Action III.2.1
Self learning for work, EU). The main objectives of VirRAD
are the development of i) an instructional design from
Mindful-Learning theory; ii) a multi-layered meta-cognitive
learner model within the context of an intelligent, virtual
reality enhanced, distance learning environment for
vocational training; iii) the embedding of this environment
within an enriched learning structure that gathers together
learners, practitioners and specialists in a knowledge
community, using Radiopharmacy as the target learning and
knowledge exchange area. VirRAD aims to create a
readily-accessible virtual-environment where the Nuclear
Medicine community can meet to learn, exchange views, and
discuss best practice. This intelligent learning
environment incorporates a number of multimedia resources,
including a dedicated simulation-based virtual environment
in which trainees may gain experience of operating
equipment with potentially hazardous radioactive materials.
- January 2007-June 2008: INTERREG Broadband (Program:
INTERREG IIIA/GREECE-ITALY 2000-2006, Funding: European
Commission). The objective of the project is the exchange

to small and medium enterprises and the promotion of
broadband via the installation of public Wi-Fi hot spots,
for the creation of demonstrative wireless network around
the areas of installation and the broadband interconnection
of this wireless network with the Internet, as well as via
the development of a portal about broadband, which will aim
at the promotion of broadband but also the provision of
broadband content. In addition, among the objectives of
this project is the investigation of models and strategies
that can be adopted for the further promotion of broadband
in the collaborating countries. To this direction, the
project will investigate international and interregional
elements by comparing concrete indicators that are related
to broadband so as to conclude on the factors and the
indicators that influence considerably the penetration of
broadband for the households and enterprises, as well as
the evaluation of international experience in regard to the
strategies, the basic factors and the best practices that
are related to the expand of broadband services. Finally,
the project will investigate models for the growth and
exploitation of broadband infrastructures.

will be achieved through an informing campaign, discussion
with interested groups and the general public and with the
demonstration of the capabilities of broadband access in
the Internet. In particular, the main aim of the project is
the promotion of the request of broadband access through
the following actions: (a) Estimation of the request of
broadband services and study about the ability of
developing a broadband infrastructure in the region of
Western Greece. Furthermore there must be an informing
campaign to the region authorities and telecommunication
companies about the capabilities and opportunities of
broadband services. (b) Organization of informing campaigns
and promotion through advertisements and TV conversations.
