To achieve the most effective results in technology, education requires proper laboratory equipments. Especially in the area of information technology, studies are often very device oriented and costs of executing teaching can rise high. However, without the sufficient laboratory exercises, students do not assimilate ways of usage and methods of administration of real data network devices. This fact also raises the need for new pedagogical approaches: how to make the students to learn in most effective way?

The Edinet project challenges those needs. The main aim of the project is to create an e-learning and e-research environment (semi-virtual campus) based on the ideas of a life-long learning for the students, teachers, researchers and other experts in special focus promoting data network management competences.

The project was launched on 1st October 2007 and runs until the end of September 2009.
