OBJECTIVES

As Europe enters into the emerging global information society, new opportunities are arising for cost-effective solutions to education and training. The convergence of information and communication technologies is enabling the creation and implementation of computer aided and/or multimedia based techniques. It is recognized that traditional, mass-produced, highly controlled static and rigid educational and training methods cannot cope with the greatly increased demand for higher education and with the need to bring ever-increasing amounts of information, knowledge and expert reasoning to students who may be far from a traditional classroom. We increasingly hear concepts like "virtual class" or "virtual laboratory". The planned conference is one of the series initiated by the Euro-Med Information Society Steering Group and has the goal of bringing together experts to discuss the current state of the art in this area. Internet-based education and training will be a topic of particular interest.
