Videolectures.NET

Videolectures.NET is a free and open access educational video lectures repository. The lectures are given by distinguished scholars and scientists at the most important and prominent events like conferences, summer schools, workshops and science promotional events from many fields of Science. The portal is aimed at promoting science, exchanging ideas and fostering knowledge sharing by providing high quality didactic contents not only to a scientific community but also to a general public. All lectures, accompanying documents, information and links are systematically selected and classified through the editorial process taking into account also users' comments.
The training materials are being developed within the FP5, FP6, and FP7 European Framework Programs, where the web based portal VideoLectures.NET is being used as an educational platform for several EU funded research projects such as PASCAL NoE, ECOLEAD NoE, SEKT IP and different organizations among others MIT OpenCourseWare and CERN. The range of countries involved and languages used varies from Europe, USA, Taiwan, Australia, Ukraine, Russia and Brazil.
The portal is becoming a major reference video training material repository and dissemination channel for academic researchers all around the world. Following the ideas to network with other similar initiatives, new frameworks and plans are being prepared aiming at boosting up an e-science video reference network combining universities and research institutes that provides a qualitative stream of scientific and training programs.
Videolectures was founded in 2001 as an internally-funded project and is now run by the dedicated Center for Transfer in Information Technologies at the Josef Stefan Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia.

LetsMT! at Videolectures.NET

LetsMT! project will try to record all situations where presentations and demonstrations of the project at different events, conferences, workshops, presence days etc. will be held by the members of the project. Our repository of video lectures will be also available at project web pages as well as at Videolectures.NET.
