UNITE is an IST project under the FP6 framework, having as its main aim to combine different state-of-the-art technologies in e-learning, in order to provide innovative services in an area at the heart of Europe’s knowledge society: the education of the young Europeans.

Using mobile technology, Europe’s flagship technology, to enhance the learning experience and to break down the school walls will pave the way for a major shift of the traditional learning paradigm. In opposition to the rather rigid, culturally “neutral” learning management systems crossing the Atlantic to invade Europe’s learning scene, UNITE’s technology has the flexibility to adapt to the pupil’s cultural environment and to his/her personal learning style. UNITE will demonstrate the need for and the availability of technology capable of supporting the evolution towards the eLearning world of tomorrow whilst taking into account the richness of the past.

The project started on February 1^st, 2006 and has a duration of 30 months. The first results available to the educational community are expected in January 2007.
