Results in pertinent research and project know-how.
Strategies of implementation and realization of new teaching and learning methods in an institution or a company.
Knowledge based on experiences of support- and production centers for media didactics, which foster the sustainable implementation of new and innovative teaching methods in their respective institution through assisting and consulting the teachers and the school board in the field of education and school development.
Concepts in application of blended learning within the scope of the Bologna - Declaration, which promotes the modularization of courses, the self-study and the requirement to offer courses in collaboration with partners and institutions.

VENUE
*****
Situated at the foot of the Jura Mountains, in the midst of vineyards and on the shores of the largest Swiss lake, Neuchâtel enjoys an idyllic setting and is in the heart of the Swiss high-tech and watch industry. Neuchâtel’s atmospheric Old Town is a picturesque quarter with old houses, 16th and 17th century fountains and defensive towers. Many of its buildings are made from local yellow sandstone, which inspired Alexandre Dumas to describe Neuchâtel as looking “like a toytown carved out of butter”. Neuchâtel is one of the French speaking cantons of Switzerland. Throughout 2002, Neuchâtel was one of the principal focuses for the Expo 02, the Swiss national exposition. The city is home of several museums and festivals - the famous “Fête des Vendanges”, the whine festival celebrated at the start of the grape harvest. This year the festival takes place from Friday, September 24 to Sunday, September 26.
