The work builds on the results of three successful IST projects under the European Commission's 5th Framework Programme (CELEBRATE, ITCOLE and VALNET).

The development of the means to support content exchange and collaboration between MoEs and other owners of educational repositories. This is done through an open source technical architecture.
The development and take-up of an open source learning toolbox that supports the collaborative use of learning resources. This is done by providing an environment for group centered work and knowledge building activities. It also provides the sort of course building tools found in more conventional Learning Content Management Systems.	See the toolbox at:
Research and testing of new approaches that can improve semantic interoperability related to the discovery and evaluation of learning resources.
Validation of CALIBRATE project results in up to 100 schools using an advanced validation methodology.

CALIBRATE will also link to a number of other EUN projects and initiatives that will build a wider framework and lay the foundations for the implementation of a new European Learning Resource Exchange (LRE). This will be accessible to all interested Ministries of Education participating in the EUN and other public and private sector owners of educational content repositories.
