European Virtual Laboratory of Mathematics

Mission
The European Virtual Laboratory of Mathematics (EVLM) is comprised of a network of National Centres of Mathematics located at seven partner institutes throughout Europe. The basic aim of EVLM is to promote better understanding and utilisation of mathematical knowledge in a range of other disciplines that are underpinned by mathematics. It is anticipated that EVLM will be used by several different groups:
Learners - at all stages from secondary school to PhD students.
Teachers - EVLM will make e-learning resources available to teachers. It will also provide guidance on the use of these materials and on the production of further materials.
Researchers and scientists in non-academic spheres.
Project Aims
To promote e-learning in mathematics within different target groups and to provide help for teachers and trainers to enhance their skills in using the most advanced educational tools.
To provide consultancy not only on how to use existing materials, but also on how to develop and author electronic learning materials that might be shared by interested parties through the EVLM Portal.
To provide an opportunity for educational institutions to share special educational materials developed for their own specific purposes (frequently with funding from European programmes) with other European institutions.
Services
EVLM provides a freely accessible portal on the internet where mathematical resources and e-learning material will be made available. - http://www.ul.ie/evlm/portal
A centralised database providing information on the availability of and links to the above resources. - http://evlm.stuba.sk/
A consultancy service in mathematics (either electronically or personally) in order to increase the overall level of mathematical knowledge and to enhance competence in mathematics within the indicated target groups.
