ECLO is delighted to announce that it has been accepted as a core partner in the EU funded project, ECUANET. A European transnational action research project to discover best practice in corporate university / academy management. The ECUANET project has secured €250,000 funding from the European Commission's Leonardo da Vinci Programme out of a total budget of €500,000 to undertake the project.

The project will be conducted in an interactive and professional manner which will provide progressive feedback to participating organisations over the two year period, through the Action Research programme and the network-building activities that are central to the Project.

Through the Project, the goal is to create a self-sustaining and dynamic European Network for Corporate Universities and Academies. The Network will become the reference point for best practice and operational excellence in corporate and enterprise academy management, enabling organisations to achieve world class performance and results from their investment.

There are three ways that an organisation (corporate, SME or academic) can participate and benefit from the project. 

  • Associate - contributes a case study but is not a member of Ecuanet 
  • ECLO Member - an Ecuanet member for the duration of the 2 year project
  • Ecuanet Corporate Partner - full on-going this webpage.
