EU databases for Dissemination and Exploitation of the projects’ results
The European Commission makes a lot of efforts to ensure the effective dissemination and exploitation of the LLP project’s. Further information concerning DG EAC's strategy for the dissemination and exploitation of project and programme results and related activities can be found on the DG's 'Dissemination and Exploitation' webpage at the following address:
http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/projects/
There 4 main databases which are constantly-updated at the European level. These databases are the great sources for the information about the implemented projects and could be used by libraries staff to search and select the projects’ which they would like to keep in the libraries databases and to promote at the national/regional level.
EVE platform
EVE is the electronic platform for the dissemination and exploitation of results of projects and results of programmes implemented by the Directorate General for Education and Culture.
EVE is a new tool available - from 2009 - for project beneficiaries of the "Lifelong learning", "Culture", "Youth in Action" and "Citizenship" programmes, to have visibility on the European Union website. EVE will acquire much information as the projects develop and the results are introduced by the project coordinators.
Through its collaborative approach, the EVE platform is an innovative tool offering users a centralized vision of the majority of funded projects.
The EVE platform was officially launched by Ján Figel', European Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth, at a conference presenting projects also identified as "best practices" within the framework of the European Year of Creativity and Innovation.
The former EVE platform as well new Erasmus + dissemination platform now is at the link: http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/projects/
ADAM is the project and product portal for Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci is part of the European education and training programme "Life-long Learning" and focuses on initial and further vocational education and training. Year after year, Leonardo da Vinci projects develop a multitude of innovative education and training products featuring tailored solutions for direct use in companies and at education and training institutions. Not all of these products are as well known as the European Computer Driving Licence developed by a Leonardo da Vinci project but most are of the same high quality. Using ADAM, you can obtain a full picture of the many products and results produced by the Leonardo da Vinci Programme. There are two ways of doing so: Either you enter a key word under "Search for Projects and Products" and the database gives you a list of all projects and products on this subject or you refine your search using the "extended search" function.

European language label
Welcome to the ELL database for innovative projects in language teaching and learning.
This database contains projects that have received the European Language Label since 1999.
The database aims to inspire practitioners, stakeholders and policymakers by presenting "best practices" in the field of language teaching and learning. The European Language Label is awarded to local, regional, and national projects that have found creative ways to improve the quality of language teaching, motivate students, make the best use of available resources to diversify the languages on offer, and other innovative initiatives.
You can search the database according to a number of different criteria:
You can also combine up to all of these criteria to conduct a more focused search. Your query will generate a list of the projects and individuals that have been awarded Labels – just click on the names to learn more (contact details, etc.).
