The conference was a great success with the message of EU4ALL being well presented. In the closing speech made by David Vincent (President of EADTU), Declaration of Lisbon, the message of the conference clearly coincided with the EU4ALL ethos: services online, lifelong learning and international cooperation.
In addition to e-ISOTIS, ATOS and other partners, the conference also hosted scientists and professionals in e-learning area who brought a wealth of knowledge to the forum. e-ISOTIS and partners presented the European project:
“EU4ALL” (www.eu4all-project.eu) that involves a program supporting the Lifelong
