1.1 Kick-Off Meeting

The Kick-Off-Meeting was split into two events, as the Vietnamese partner Universities were not able to attend the official Kick-Off-Meeting in Heerlen due to visa problems…

Kick-Off-Meeting Heerlen

Open University of Netherlands
Heerlen, 22.02. – 26.02.2016

The Kick-Off-Meeting was planned as the first meeting of all MEDLIT project partners. Due to visa issues partners from Vietnam (AJC & USSH) could not attend this meeting. An additional Kick-Off-Meeting was held in Vietnam (exclusive for Vietnamese partners) in order to bring the concerning partners to the same understanding of the project’s aims.

The meeting’s aims were to get to know each other within the whole project team and sharing information about the project structure as well as the use of management and controlling tools. Additionally, the MEDLIT members from the meeting’s host OUNL (Open University of the Netherlands) gave an introduction to E-Learning and the basic design of the first Phase of the planned Delphi Study was developed within the project team under the lead of ZU (Zeppelin University).
