Lifelong Learning Programme

LLD is completed by a transversal programme focusing on policy cooperation, languages, information and communication technology and dissemination and exploitation of results. Finally, a Jean Monnet programme focuses on European integration and support for certain key institutions and associations active in the field.

ERBIL currently deals with Leonardo da Vinci pilot projects because this is the European community's vocational training programme. It encourages collaboration between organisations involved in vocational training, aiming to improve the quality of training provision, develop the skills and mobility of the workforce, stimulate innovation and enhance the competitiveness of European industry.

EUREKA

ERBIL’s company mission meets the one of EUREKA; to raise the productivity and competitiveness of Europe 's industries and to boost national economies on the world market, and hence strengthen the basis for lasting prosperity and employment.

The intergovernmental EUREKA initiative is continuing to prove highly effective in mobilizing Europe 's capability to innovate. This decentralized network enables SMEs and large companies, research centers, universities and national administrations to join forces in realizing near-market research and development through trans-national collaborative projects. The results are seen in a dramatic transformation of key industry sectors, and in hundreds of new products, materials and processes that are adding significantly to the quality of everyday life for us all.

In addition to individual innovative projects, ERBIL promotes the creation of thematic networks focusing on specific technological or business areas. The main goal is to foster the generation of EUREKA projects in the relevant fields.

ERBIL’s global vision is to raise the image of EUREKA and to strengthen its contribution to the emerging European Research Area by establishing closer links with other European programmes and particularly with the FP7. This vision aims at supportsing the new Action Programme proposed by the European Union to tackle the shortfall in R&D investment needed to meet the goals of the EU Lisbon strategy.
