On May 8, 2009, Allison Littlejohn and Anoush Margaryan visited the Centre of Social Innovation (CSI) in Vienna to discuss a potential joint research project under the upcoming ICT call of the European Framework Programme 7.   Participating colleagues included Barbara Kieslinger and Sebastian Fiedler (CSI), Jan van Bruggen (Center for Learning Sciences and Technologies, Open University of the Netherlands), Liisa Ilomaki (Centre for Research on Networked Learning and Knowledge Building, University of Helsinki) and Gernot Tscherteu (RealityLab, Austria).

A group of us at the Caledonian Academy submitted a proposal for a Marie Curie European Initial Training Network (ITN). The proposal is to establish a research and training programme in the area of self-regulated learning and adaptive social technologies.

The proposal is led by Glasgow Caledonian University, in collaboration with eleven leading academic and industrial partners in six countries (UK, Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Estonia, Australia). This interdisciplinary network integrates 11 research projects with a comprehensive training programme.
