Last FORGE plenary in Athens

Wednesday 13 Jul 2016

The last plenary meeting of the FORGE project took place on July 11-12th in Athens, Greece. In a beautiful location by the sea, the FORGE partners met in order to wrap up the project and prepare for its final review. The main topics of discussion and planning had to do with the sustainability of the project’s outputs beyond its end.

FORGE has been a 3-year FP7 project, led by John Domingue from the Open University. The project has performed pioneering research in online experimentation and remote laboratories and has developed a number of sustainable results and educational artefacts, including the FORGE iBook, a variety of courses and widgets, instructional videos, and many more. All this has been made possible by the excellent collaboration between the FORGE partners, who have formed an energetic and pro-active team.
