Research Projects
Cambridge University Press is the printing and publishing house of the University of Cambridge. It is an integral part of the University and has similar charitable objectives in advancing knowledge, education, learning, and research. The Global Grid for Learning project is committed to these objectives.
Cambridge University Press is conducting research with a number of academic institutions and research consortia on areas related to Global Grid for Learning. These include:
The Nominet Trust is a charity created by Nominet in January 2008, which maintains the .uk register of domain names and is one of the world's largest internet registries. They support distinctive and inventive internet-related projects that can make a difference to people, primarily in the areas of education, online safety and inclusion. Their aim is to help disadvantaged and vulnerable groups to use the Internet - young people, the elderly, the disabled and sick, and people in deprived areas.
ASPECT is a new 30-month Best Practice Network supported by the European Commision's eContentplus Programme that involves 22 partners from 15 countries, including 9 Ministries of Education (MoE), four commercial content developers and leading technology providers, including Cambridge University Press.
Currently Cambridge University Press is working with ASPECT and its partners to develop best practice approaches to implementing standards for both educational content discovery and use.
