The evolving penetration and
impact of ICT use is widespread and important for the European Knowledge
based Society developmental strategy. However, the current level of
digital training and the conditions of ICT interactivity still appear
far for exploiting the full potential of this change. Therefore ON-NS&T
activity’s project will be directed to enhance new understandings of the
learning processes in a changing cognitive environment for ICT, by
exploring links between neurology of human learning, advanced scientific
cognition of the science of life and new ICT technologies and solutions.
The ON-NS&T Consortium
widely acknowledged that cognition dynamics is intertwined in the ICT
context and extremely sensitive to it; in fact ICT environment became a
major component of the context within which cognition occurs.
Technology’s interaction with cognition is so extensive that it perhaps
can modify the brain physiology of learning.
Therefore the ON-NS&T research
will be devoted to explore the relationships between ICT innovation and
dynamics of cognitive process, particularly of the new cognition-related
technologies, as an important factor to be taken into account in the
Knowledge Society development.
Therefore the ON-NS&T project
will explore the co-evolution between ICT and cognitive process looking
at the modifications of the working brain through studies of functional
Magnetic Resonance in a way that can be open more conscious activities
favouring the development of “connective intelligence and management”,
more suitable to share scientific knowledge and resources and to enhance
personalized e-learning innovation models and strategies for individual
and organizations.
The analysis of mental
processes (from a cognitive sciences and neurological point of view) of
people involved in a working context and involved in learning
activities, will give input and the necessary data to identify the
suitable strategies, methods and software tools to support an effective
enhancing of e-learning based on integrated knowledge. This aim will
include the adaptation of existing technologies as well as the
development of new solutions. This approach can be summarised with the
acronym “Mental Ergonomics Integrated Research and Technology ” (M.E.R.I.T),
that include the aim to drive technological choice by knowledge of
mental processes. These results will be achieved activating an
integrated consortium including specific and complementary skills and
expertises so that a collaborative confrontation will produce the
formulation of effective solutions in reinforcing competitiveness and
solving societal problems.
To disseminate and to enhance
a cross sector fertilization on the ICT & Cognitive Research results it
will beactivated a collaborative working network of stakeholders through
an innovative use of web-learning integrated systems. The research team,
that it will be activated by the ON-NS&T consortium, will carry out
specific analysis, experimental test and international confrontations
An "auto
-evaluation" of the project will be realised opening the ON-NS&T
research to an “Scientific Advisory
Reference Board ” (S.A.R.B.) composed by world's leading experts
with high academical qualifications for taking into account an
auto-evaluation process . Till now board members are the following :
Prof. Giuliano Avanzini Dept. Neurosciences , National Neurological
Institute “C.Besta” Milano (IT), Prof. Giacomo Rizzolatti, Dept.Human
Phisiology University of Parma ,Dr. Dorina Bianchi, Graduate in
Farmacology and Neurology (actual position . Deputy of Italian Govern
for Health and Equal Opporunities) , Dr. Alessando Musumeci ( Director
of e.Learning Strategies of the Italian Ministry of Education), Dr.
Fulvio Obici ( Responsible of Communication Sector to SME’s for
improving Structural European Fonds in the Sud of Italy) . In the next
future if the project will be approved the S.A.R.B. will be
internationalised.
On general poin of view to
develop a knowledge-based society it is necessary grow up new forms of
ICT suitable solutions based on the understanding of the different forms
and strategies that can link advanced cognitive and neurological
sciences with ICT technology enhanced-learning.
A major policy objective of
the European Union is the achievement of the “
Henceforth “Reinvigorating”
the Lisbon agenda is a key goal of the European Commission for the
coming years and it implies, as a priority, the identification of
suitable ICT solutions to support cognitive process dynamics, through
research advanced activities in cognitive and neurological sciences
oriented to find innovative application on ICT, i.e. by means organizing
an European Open Network for New Science and Technology (ON-NS&T), for
enhancing learning through trans-disciplinary contents and integrated
science methods applied to ICT interactive technologies.
The general aim of the ON-NS&T
Consortium will be to ensure that humans feeling and ICT can work in
harmony, with the technical equipments, in an harmonious application
able to take in account different cultural contexts and societal needs
of development of human resources analysed in respect of the fundamental
individual neurological and cognitive characteristics.
Starting from the state of the art of e-learning models and platforms,
including the recent studies of the neurological knowledge of mental
process dynamics, it will be possible to identify new requirements for
more effective generation of ICT for enhancing e-learning. The analysis
of mental processes (from a cognitive sciences and neurological point of
view) of people involved in a working context and involved in learning
activities, will give input and the necessary data to identify the
suitable strategies, methods and software tools to support an effective
enhancing of e-learning based on integrated knowledge. The ON-NS&T
research will be devoted to explore the relationships between ICT
innovation and dynamics of cognitive process, particularly of the new
cognition-related technologies, as an important factor to be taken into
account in the Knowledge Society development.
To disseminate and to enhance a cross sector fertilization on the ICT &
Cognitive Research results it will be activated a collaborative working
network of stakeholders through an innovative use of web-learning
integrated systems.
The research team, that it will be activated by the ON-NS&T consortium,
will carry out specific analysis, experimental test and international
confrontations to achieve the following objectives:
·
to explore interactions between the neurology of the individual learning
for enhancing innovative e-learning strategies.
·
To encourage cognitive trans-disciplinary research and launching
technological-enhanced learning innovations.
·
To strengthen the integration between cognitive and ICT advanced
research and innovation in an enlarged
·
To reflect first, in mid-term, about the challenges posed by the
permanent education based on the advancement of the science of life in a
mixed formal and informal learning settings. Second in longer term
aiming to build on and advance the inter-relationship between
neurological research advanced cognition and e-learning processes
innovation and exploit links to other disciplines.
·
To improve cultural innovation trough a pervasive dissemination
processes of understanding the science of life, opening a wider and
faster “ICT” exchange of ideas in promising fields of bio-technology.
In a short the ON-NS&T
partnership consider the following metaphor and basic criteria of
project development: as well as during industrial society a great effort
was devoted to the “Ergonomic Research” to study the man-machine body’s
interaction (Physical Ergonomics), now a day the full realisation of the
knowledge society needs a collaborative European effort to develop and
disseminate an innovative “Mental –Ergonomics” research on cognitive
sciences, based on advanced neurological studies and their integration
with the more appropriated ICT methodologies of interactive
communication (i.e. Networking management and mutual Web-learning).
“Physical Ergonomics” is based
on physiological studies applied in working places related to near
working distances of the body’s motion; differently “Mental Ergonomics”
is no mechanical, so that an extensive program of neurological and
cognitive research need to be applied to the ICT in an extended cultural
environment for enhancing creative performances of workers (e-workers,
or tele-workers) in a suitable system of mutual e-learning.
In a
literal definition, the word Ergonomics was derived from the Greek “ERGON”,
meaning work; and “NOMOS”, meaning laws or regulation, so that
“Ergonomics” denote the science of regulating work and therefore means a
knowledge systems-oriented to enhanced the working effectiveness into a
specific context, that nowadays it is referring to the intellectual work
in relation to technology-enhanced learning.
Therefore
for enhancing e-learning strategies ON-NS&T project extends the research
goals of “Mental Ergonomics” across all aspects of human technological
communication, organisational and decision making activities. As a
matter of facts today, the advancement of “Cognitive aspects of
Ergonomics”, must be incorporated in the context of developing Knowledge
Society, and therefore the research and technological objectives are
more concerned with mental processes, such as perception, memory,
reasoning, and behavioural response, since they affect interactions
among humans and other elements of a ICT enhanced learning system.
“Mental
Ergonomics” is known as well as a very powerful multi-disciplinary field
of research especially working on the concept of “cognitive
restructuring intervention”, for improving cognitive therapies on mental
health. Hence looking on the state of the art of “Mental Ergonomics” we
can see that a number of interesting technological ICT applications has
been recently developed especially on robots guided at distance by the
eye’s movements of conductors. A very interesting example of such ICT
application is the so called “Mental Ping – Pong”, a computer simulation
of the ping-pong game where the person move the ball using only eye
actions for exercising and restructuring proper mental health
functionality. “Mental Ergonomics“ hence has a large potential of ICT
applications by means extending the concepts and the methods of best
practices in this multi-disciplinary field of research and application
technology.
“Mental
Ergonomics Integrated Research and Technology” (M.E.R.I.T.) will be the
acronym for the applications of the ON-NS&T Consortium, that will become
known by means an integration of various disciplines, composed by
neurology, biological sciences, bio-technology, bio-information …,
generating a large integrated science field. As a consequence “M.E.R.I.T
cognition and technological program” can be referred to the science of
fitting “e-work” environments of the modern communication technology to
people, by means exploring scientific cognitive dynamics on a
neurological bases, to produce new forms of conceptual modelling and
communicative strategies about long distance contacts and relationships
between individual persons and their organizations. This can be possible
prevail over the state of the art of “Mental Ergonomics”, though the
MERIT approach for advancing the traditional e-learning methods and
enhancing new e-learning perspectives through long life dynamical and
interactive models and processes.
The application of M.E.R.I.T.
Cognition and Technological Program, that will be made by the ON-NS&T
Consortium will be focused on organizational “mental ergonomics
communities” based on the agreement to the ON-NS&T proposal of
stakeholders, that work together to share the optimisation of
socio-technical e-learning systems, to test their organizational
structures, policies, and ICT innovation processes. Relevant topics of
MERIT program will include mental workload, decision-making, skilled
performance, team’s cooperative work, new work paradigms, virtual
working organizations, quality management of human-computer interaction,
and, from the point of view of bettering individual mental health, it
will concern, human reliability, work stress as these may relate to
human//ICT system interactions innovation and e-learning design
optimization.
In conclusion the “Mental
Ergonomics” applied research on the understanding of interactions among
humans and ICT interactive systems, by the way of ON-NS&T Consortium,
can help European Educational Systems to develop new ICT solutions as
weel as professions favouring teachers to apply neurological knowledge,
cognitive science principles, scientific information data and methods to
design the strategies more appropriated to optimise human well-being and
overall long distance ICT systems performances.
Ultimately “M.E.R.I.T”
applications of the ON-NS&T project, can be addressed to favour a large
impact on the living system of European citizen by means of a deep
dissemination of research results, in a way that can contribute to
better the individual consciousness of mental health and can help the
design and evaluation of tasks, jobs, products, environments and systems
in order to make them compatible with the needs, abilities and
limitations of people on understanding and reinforcing their role in the
context of development of the European Knowledge Society.
In conclusion the Scientific and Neurological “Cognition and
Technological Program” of ON-NS&T Consortium, will get the focus on the
applications in e-learning of Neuroscience and Educational Cognitive
research, so that can be useful in a number of collaborative studies of
“Mental Performance” including also some aspects of “Bio-medical
Information”, that in their complexity can be functional to evaluate the
cognitive impact of Future Emerging Technologies that are currently
developed for bettering living and working processes.
Augmented MERIT Program will be focused on two main areas: cognition and
assessment of practical applications, that will be focused especially on
important aspects of the decision-making procedures to develop
attractive e-learning interactive processes within a new conceptual
appropriate cognitive and technological integrated approaches able to
favour the contemporary transformation of the industrial society in the
future European Knowledge Society.
Main contributions of this Neuroscience and Educational Cognitive
research in e-Learning field comprise: 1) a better understanding of the
social interactions within the e-Learning processes including the new
roles of learners and teachers (specially important considering new peer
to peer learning and team centred models); 2) enrichment of the
learners’ behaviour modelling techniques, based not only on the analysis
of administrative and education tracking information but on cognitive
capabilities and learner personality; 3) better decision making systems
based on simulators; 4) improvements of the man-machine interfaces
adapted to each learners knowledge capabilities; 5) advances in
techniques for determining the best aggregation/granularity level when
creating learning objects.
As a matter of facts Scientific advanced research and ICT integration is
the main source of new knowledge communication, so that such Cognition
and Technological MERIT Program of ON-NS&T project, can be seen as well
as the major field of integrated trans-disciplinary research for its
socio-economic application; indeed such integration is at the heart of
the Knowledge Economy and Society which is currently developing at high
speed and on a global scale.
The progress of the ON-NS&T project work will be measured against the
previous M.E.R.I.T. program’s applications that will be made in
verifiable and measurable form, by means in advanced cognition reports
and technical innovation regarding as well as the centre of gravity the
strategic objectives requested by the CALL 4 (2.4.10) on
Technology-enhanced learning, but also concerning some aspects of
Cognitive System (2.4.8), and only in part connected also with:
Integrated Biomedical Information for better Health (2.4.11), and
Strengthening the also with Integration of the ICT research effort in an
Enlarged Europe.(2.4.13).
B-2.2 Relevance to the objectives of the IST Priority
The relevance of the ON-NS& T
project on the IST Priority of the Call 4, is focused on the Strategic
objective 2.4.10 as a “centre of gravity” but also it will be developed
in relation to general objectives addressed in the call 4, and some
complemented ICT objectives especially concerning objective 2.4.8 -
Cognitive Systems and some others previously cited.
The relevance on ON-NS&T
proposal can be subdivided in “Scientific and Technological Relevance”
and “Societal and Policy Relevance”.
B-2.2.a -
Scientific & Technological (S&T) Relevance
The S&T relevance concerns the
ability of ON-NS&T Consortium to follow the need of European Knowledge
Society growth by means of exploration of the interaction between
e-learning of individual and organization, in order to develop an
integrated research. This integration will be achieved by means of a
comparison among current and emerging ICT on the light of the advances
of Neurological and Cognitive science studies, aiming to define ad
integration of contents and methods that can mutually enhance the
e-learning processes for the individual and for the organizations.
As a matter of facts the
scientific & technological relevance of the ON-NS&T. proposal need to be
seen on both aspects: from the one hand, in the light of advanced
consideration of “Mental Ergonomics”, the project can identify, as a
result, better methodologies of application of ICT to human learning
dynamics, and, from the other hand, the Project Consortium will develop
a strategy of M.E.R.I.T. research application activities, suitable for
the development and dissemination of new integrated contents and best
practices, able to enhance the utilization of ICT in various long
distance and long life contexts in Europe.
Some considerations can
express the Scientific & Technological Relevance that can be realised
from the ON-NS&T European Project by means a researches on the
comparison and assessment of traditional learning systems and ICT
educational methodology.
The
discovery of “mirror neurons” in the frontal lobes get a reflection
about the potential relevance to human brain evolution and hence for the
creative methodology of learning. Scientists that have discovered a
remarkable system that they call “mirror neuronal system” that explains
how modelling/mimicking process it is central to much human learning.
Scientists all over the world are also exploring the relationship
between “mirror neuron’s activity” and our ability to imagine our own
planned actions, in a way that can be empathetic, and can develop
articulated speech and other forms of communication. “Mirror neurons”
may thus eventually help to explain many teaching and e-learning ICT
advancements in which cognitive and methodological modelling provides
teachers and students to be connected with an effective behavioural
interactive patterns. Those applications are till now experimented to
follow and also to help the overcoming of some disabilities (such as
autism) in which children can't read the minds of others.
Therefore taking attention to
the important function of “Mirror Neurons”, that theoretically allow
also ‘virtual’ (off-line) information to be processed in computational
ICT virtual models, it will become possible to enhance e-learning
processes by means of the development of computer simulation models
based on "imitation learning strategy" in a way that will provide a
unifying framework between ICT applied on educational field and Human
Learning potential. This ON-NS&T research can help to explain an
evolution of mental abilities of intuition and creativity that have
previously remained unexplained and inaccessible to innovative
experiments. Anyway “Mirror neurons” obviously cannot be the only answer
to all these possibility of evolution of human learning in an ICT
innovative methodology and contents, that will be based on computer
“virtual reality imitation” in enhancing e-learning strategies. As a
matter of facts ON-NS&T research M.E.R.I.T. applications on the
neurological and cognitive sciences relationships will be purposeful
also among the changes of the relationships between short working memory
and long term permanent memory domain trying to acquire a new skill in
the information society.
Episodic short memory
processes are a source of great relevance the ON-NS&T research on
e-learning innovation because using ICT speech or writing tools brain
can generate a new process of comprehension, that can favour the
flexibility of brain functions. In fact it is easy to understand that
the brain exercise today, by means the use of ICT in “Internet”, a large
informational amount and this supports to utilise more than before the
short time memory instead of the long term memory brain’s processes.
Therefore the results of the integrated research of the ON-NS&T
consortium may have a good relevance as a catalyst in science and
technology, for improving new skills of flexible learn-ability growth of
individual and organization on e-work and web-learning interactive
exchange of information management and mutual learning strategies.
Finally the research on
CO-EVOLUTION of BRAIN & ICT will open a multidisciplinary section
dedicated to the evolution of “conscious brain”, .i.e. to the growing up
of conscious strategies of mental changes for enhancing the appropriate
e-learning models and networking ICT architectures able to improve the
transformation of a passive role of training forward an interactive role
of persons and organizations in a multicultural sharing construction of
research in the field of the interface between Neuropsychological
research and ICT innovation, aiming to collaborate to the improvement of
the European Knowledge Society.
Also the
Scientific & technological relevance ON-NS&T. project is purposeful in a
long term can be obtained by the contribution to a new understanding of
learning processes as a consequence of the research oriented on
exploring links between a large field of subject coming from different
disciplines as well as Biochemistry, Biology and Genetics and Post
Genomics, and Neurology (including psychology and pedagogy), that today
can play a major explanatory role in the understanding of a number of
human features of creative learning through favour the mastering of ICT
communication mental abilities. In this way the ON-NS&T proposal can
develop an advanced cognitive sciences production, for improving a great
effort and strong synergies based on M.E.R.I.T activities dedicated to
the popularization of the results obtained exploring links between
brain-learning potential, and scientific and humanistic cognitions and
ICT.
Focus of those
multi-disciplinary actions and dissemination activities will be the
innovation of formal and informal settings of education in Europe,
especially giving the centre of attention to the METHODS OF EUROPEAN
KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT development where the applications of the “Mental
Ergonomics Integrated Research and Technology (M.E.R.I.T) applications
of the ON-NS&T project, will exploit the shared and integrated contents
and innovative pedagogical methods between e-learning innovation and
knowledge management for improving competitiveness in the development of
European Knowledge Society.
Finally ON-NS&T project
Scientific & Technological relevance on integrating and strengthening
the European IST- Research Area, will come from the determination of
opening during the work program a strong collaboration with the research
institutions and companies working for improving “Future and Emerging
Technologies (FET)”, aiming to render accessible a multitude of services
and applications through easy-to-use human / ICT interfaces ensuring the
co-evolution of technologies and their applications.
Therefore ON-NS&T Program
research, exploring models for cognitive traits such as affect,
consciousness or theory of mind, can effectively give important results
on Cognitive sciences advancements giving at the same times, across the
Work Programme development, a complemented research into ways of
endowing a high-quality co-operation with artificial systems production
favouring an high-level of understanding human’s neurological
capabilities, typically perception, memory processes, learning, thus
enabling artificial-technologies for developing e-learning versions,
with the help of robotics and automated reasoning and problem-solving,
that will be relevant for dealing with complex real-world simulation
systems.
B.2.2b -
Societal and Policy Relevance - Connecting Brain Processes to
Educational Policies and Practices
The ON-NS& “Societal and
Policy Relevance” comes from the work program M.E.R.I.T activities of
Science disseminations of new e-learning models, oriented to favour a
change of cultural environment, for enhancing and undertaking to the
European citizen advanced research in neurology and cognitive science
applied on ICT, in a way that innovation
processes can be more open, with wider and faster exchange of ideas,
people and resources.
Henceforth the ON-NS&T social
and policy relevance emerges in addition from the new promising fields
of integration of neurological and cognitive sciences that can be
important in exploring the links between e-learning in an advanced
trans-disciplinary cognition integrated development that also will look
to the technological developments and pose new possibilities and
innovative models for renewing and sharing educational policy and
practices in Europe. It implies during the ON-NS&T work-program an
application research operating within the framework of long-term
research into the theory and applications of neural nets and
computational intelligence and its dissemination to get a feedback that
guarantee the understanding of potential users of ICT.
In this context of integrated
scientific and technological research, innovative cognition about an
advanced interactive policy system of social e-learning will be
organized on specific dimensions and models of e-learning situations /
Ages / groups / Specific Subjects (employees of European SME), all
oriented to emancipate work-conditions in European Knowledge Society.
In conclusion, following the
recent advanced neuroscience and cognitive science construction, it will
be obtained a great Social and Policy Relevance of ICT innovation
through emphasizing and favouring the acquisition of consciousness about
the interactive nature of e-learning functions, that can be obtained
developing a methods of e-learning able to consider that brains develop,
mature and operate in the context of interacting with the other people
by means a mental simulation of the ICT environment where
new
promising fields are emerging at the cross-over between ICT and
neurological and cognitive sciences by means an integration with other
disciplines such as biochemistry, biotechnologies, and sciences of life.
For growing such relevant
consciousness and changing the cultural environment on ICT innovation
the ON-NS&T working program, will be diffused and disseminated through
well designed e-learning objects and reports on line on a series of
issues as well as: ICTs multimedia in Science Education, especially
focusing the constructivistic’s methodology of Web- learning, mobile
learning (m-Learning) technologies in education, and about more specific
matters as Models for European Knowledge Economy Management (MEKEM)
e-learning solutions, quality of integrated contents in distance and
distributed learning systems; design of easy Human /ICT interactive
visual interfaces.

B.3 Potential impact
The possibility of “better
brains” has captured the attention of the press, policy authority,
cognitive science and philosophy researchers. As a matter of facts
advances in cognitive neuroscience and neuro-pharmacology are yielding
exciting treatments not only for neurological diseases, but also for
applying the cognitive technology enhanced learning for normal persons,
looking at improving their brain flexibility and creativity. These
potential on enhancing learning by means a better knowledge of the brain
function and through a “mental ergonomics” research, certainly get
beyond the “quality of life” interventions of citizen concerning, some
questions related to the individual and others related to society
complex transformation between the industrial society and the future
knowledge society.
One of the foundation of
Mirror Neurology , concerns the change of the dominant view in
cognitive science, because the new discovery by Prof. Giacomo
Rizzolatti of the University of Padua (It) puts most efforts in
clarifying what are the formal rules de-structuring the old solipsistic,
representational the Brain/Mind relationships.
The new Mirror Neurons
Functional investigation of ON-NS&T project can give an high potential
impact , that can open a new e. learning strategy about new possibility
to grow up a dynamic social identity that can be experienced with the
multiplicity of on line educational co-organization of social world.
In spite of the importance of
neurological recent advancements with few exceptions, neurologists have
not too much gave a contribution to the advances of cognitive sciences,
despite the fact that Neuro-clinician research in medicine would be
centrally focused on brain diseases of patients.
Therefore due to the attention
and interest of people on the possibilities of bettering brains
functions and enhancing learning for enhancing the quality of life of
individual and society, the proposed ON-NS&T trans-disciplinary
integration research is expected to get an explicit impact on quality of
life that does not belong only within the clinical-pathologic advance,
but can get an improved extension of intervention and impact to the
quality of living systems of ordinary persons and of private or public
organizations.
Therefore an expectation of
the ON-NS&T research project, oriented to contribute to new
understandings of the learning processes by exploring links between
neurological learning, advanced cognitive science and ICT, is really to
be able to get a great impact on society throught the work-programs
M.E.R.I.T activities and actions devoted to better-informed European
managers and educators in a way that they can makes better decisions on
the reform of management of the SME’s and on the programs of the
education systems in Europe. A great impact of the ON-NS&T proposal is
expected by means of favouring mutual ICT form of interactive
communication covering individual at distance learning in the education
system.
In addition the ON-NS&T
activities will relate the outputs to the needs of management within
SMEs, and particularly the Small and Micro sectors, where the
communication of learning has impediments not found in larger firms,
with their more mature frameworks allowing training and personal
development within business planning. This conflict of cultures has
marginalized knowledge transfer initiatives, particularly in the context
of supplier led policies and it is essential to unravel the best
learning models upon which e-learning will have significance. It is
accepted that appropriate training is vital for management to move
enterprises from lifestyle mode to growth, and e-learning theoretically
should stimulate change provided the pedagogy, cognitive learning style
and other factors explored in this programme are transposed into robust
trainer practice. These innovative knowledge transfer models will
enhance the knowledge economy strategy in
Therefore the ON-NS&T project
on ICT integrated research will become a key pillar for community’s
policy innovation and for improving European Knowledge Economy. This
impact is expected to get a target on business and technical managers
opening a method for adapting to the quickly evolving world of
collaboration on knowledge Economy Management. The focus is on the
integration of technologies for electronic collaboration and knowledge
management utilizing cognitive factors and methods that would be
realised during the ON-NS&T Working plan.
Henceforth the impact of ON-NS&T applied IST research addressing major
societal and economic challenges that are
concerning with the following issues:
- become skilled at about
future trends of knowledge management strategies, and how individual or
social and private organizations can take advantage of the integrated
ON-NS&T research to cut cycle times, get products to market faster and
manage distributed teams and projects in a virtual environment.
- Gain knowledge of strategies
for teachers of education system, for improving e-learning communities
to manage trans-disciplinary ON-NS&T research , expand their educational
opportunities, in virtual environment based on advanced knowledge of
brain understanding in an ICT context oriented to improve an human
perspective of improving science and social creativity for bettering the
quality of working life.
Those work
program issues of the ON-NS & T proposal that can be able to generate a
large impact on the deployment of European Knowledge society are the
following :
·
the
development and deployment of neurological and cognitive advanced
information, by means a web-based interactive communication;
·
using integrated sciences results for improving an ICT knowledge based
applications and enhancing e-learning at the European level;
·
setting models of “European Knowledge Economy Management” (MEKEM)
·
determining“ Mental Ergonomics” developmental results, and diffuse and
disseminate them in relation to social, economic, environmental, legal
and governmental visions, policies and guidelines.
These key approaches will
include a collaborative stakeholder’s group organization, leading an
innovative ICT Development to establish a Standard for e-authors and
trainers to follow, that will strengthen Member State procurement
policies and define more clearly the requirements for successful
e-learning intervention and the sustained support of SMEs, Working in
conjunction with policy makers and academic research teams and on-line
dissemination organizations this in turn will add value to the efforts
of public sector and private bodies engaged in skills training.
Finally the strategic impact
of the proposed ON-NS&T project, covers the following related activities
dealing with the “Science-ICT” interface:
·
Developing e-learning
models and assessment as a reflection of “Mental Ergonomics”
organizational design.
·
Connecting education
and training systems for enhancing ON-NS&T research results.
·
Knowing patterns
recognition Knowledge Society growing through the M.E.R.I.T applications
of ON-NS&T strategy of enhancing e-learning.
·
Developing a WEB-Based
trans-disciplinary literacy on neurology and cognitive science for
improving knowledge based society in an economic open system.
·
Linking Knowledge
Management plans of SME’s internationalization to neurological and
cognitive science information.
·
Dissemination of
ON-NS&T project about the relationship between technological advances
and cognition.
