Martin launches €2m eLearning project

A €2m research project in the eLearning sector was launched today by Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin.

The programme, in co-operation with Enterprise Ireland, will focus key research on delivering tangible, commercial progress in the development of next generation eLearning products and services for Irish elearning companies.

“Ireland now has a core of excellent eLearning companies with the capacity to absorb and benefit from the innovation that this programme will bring,” said Mr Martin.

“It is particularly pleasing that the research agenda has come from the industry itself through the networking activity of the eLearning CEO forum.

“Ireland is in a strong position to compete in this global market - both from its geographical position between the US and Europe and also because it already has a cluster of established indigenous companies which have already been successful in winning global contracts”.
