The Digital Platform of asynchronous learning, CEREBRUM is a service provided by the Institute of Research & Training on European Affairs – I.R.T.E.A. and opens the gate towards unique opportunities for training and learning programmes, available for everybody. CEREBRUM includes a great variety of educational courses and material from EU funded projects, that are specifically developed based on the Institute’s experience and expertise on the field of non-formal learning, with modern, innovative and interactive practices.
The Institute of Research & Training on European Affairs-I.R.T.E.A., is a strong innovative Think-Tank in Greece and the European Continent. I.R.T.E.A.’s main goals include bridging the gap between the academic knowledge and the business world, politics, and society, while fostering knowledge, structured dialogue, innovation, and civic participation with youth as a key driver.
Through the Digital Platform CEREBRUM and its modern tools, I.R.T.E.A. gives the opportunity of long-distance learning of educational programmes, seminars, pre-recorded and live streaming conferences from all around Greece and the globe.
The Latin-based word "CEREBRUM" which means "brain" was chosen in order to state the dynamic of the platform, its innovation, and its high paced response in the needs of the modern era.
Main purpose of CEREBRUM is the promotion of good practices, the promotion of new skills and further academical excellence in Greece and Europe. Its creation supports the ultimate goal of I.R.T.E.A, to be a main factor of development and evolution in Greece and Europe by bridging the gap between the academical and economical field, politics, and society.
The creation of CEREBRUM was based on the Strategic framework for European cooperation in Education and Training (“Education & Training 2020”) and always tries to achieve four main challenges:
- make lifelong learning and mobility a reality;
- improve the quality and efficiency of education and training;
- Promote equity, social cohesion, and active citizenship;
- Enhance creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship, at all levels of education and training.
CEREBRUM will focus its field of study, in the same fields the European Union addresses in its operations:
- Economic and Entrepreneurship Policies
- Youth and Educational Policies
- External Relations, Security and Defence Policies
- Environmental and Sustainable Development Policies
