  • to foster the development of common European and international standards for digital multimedia learning content and services;
  • to give a global dimension to their co-operation, and to having open and effective dialogues on issues relating to learning technologies policy with policy makers in other regions of the world, while upholding Europe's cultural interests and specificities;
  • to consider that the way to achieve these goals is by following certain common guidelines organizing their future co-operation;
