I. LLP Academic Networks

Academic Networks are designed to promote innovation in a specific discipline, set of disciplines or multidisciplinary area, e.g.: law, literature, economics, etc.

They are an action of the EU- Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP) - 2006

55

I. LLP Academic Networks

They contribute to • enhancing quality of teaching in higher education,

defining and developing a European dimension within a given academic discipline,

• furthering innovation and• exchanging methodologies and good practices.

This is achieved by means of cooperation within the network between higher education institutions, university faculties and departments and may also involve professional associations and enterprises as well as other associations.
