General mail 1: 16/12/2005 18: 23 Some information and preliminary works

3. Envisaged outputs (maximum 2 pages)
3.1 Describe precisely the envisaged outputs of the project. Specify in each case the nature, volume, structure, content and language envisaged (where applicable).

The main outputs will be:

• 
  (a) guidelines for EIE in the Tuning spirit (TASKS A1, A4),
  
• 
  (b) an updated monograph, on the existing curricula in EIE in Europe, with new parts dedicated to "international" degrees (international masters and bachelors) and to PhD (TASKS A1, A2, A3),
  
• 
  (c) a mediatheque on pedagogical resources in EIE available through internet, with quality evaluation (TASK A5),
  
• 
  (d) a portal presenting the curricula available in EIE in Europe (TASK A1)
  
• 
  (e) report contaning a census of the existing accreditation boards and procedures and proposition of a common European procedures guideline in EIE (TASK A7),
  
• 
  (f) communication tools presenting EIE in Europe (TASK A8)
  
• 
  (g) communication tools to attract scholars in EIE in particular and in scientific studies in general (task A6).
  

Outputs b,c,d are completions and updates (continuing activity) of some works and results developed during the THEIERE project, whereas outputs a,e,f,g are completely new.

The other outputs of our TN will be:

- (h) an information system to help in the functioning of the project (mailing list, chat rooms, chat, on-line voting tool, forum, repository of documents…) based on the EAEEIE server, with a private part and a public part (internet website).

- (i) meetings and seminars to be proposed relative to these various points, it is planed to meet once at the beginning of the project as general meeting and then to meet twice a year as general meetings and seminars, for the whole partnership, to deal with the general functioning of the projects and activities, and to propose results (there will be also strategic meetings, see also 4.). Each year, one of the general annual meetings will be organised in conjunction with the annual EAEEIE conference. It is planned that a last meeting will present the results of the project: we could imagine in final meeting could be organised together with other TNs, particularly in Engineering.

- (j) conferences, once a year the EAEEIE organises its annual conference, this conference is open to everybody and is a good tool for dissemination of activities and results (the next conference will be held in Lappeenranta, Finland, June 2005, www.eaeeie.org). Several presentations are generally concerned by the Thematic network activity. The results of the Thematic network are generally presented also in other conferences dedicated to teaching or to research, in order to have a wide dissemination.

- (k) participation to other actions, dealing with thematic network activity as a whole, such as "Archipelago" or "Tuning" actions.

For this point we are in contact with H. Ferdinande from TUNING and M. Maffioli for TREE and the "Archipelago" action (in 2004 four people for our previous THEIERE thematic network participated in the Techno-TN meeting in Brussels).
