About C-FLEX
C-FLEX is built around an explicit research-education tandem
Goals
C-FLEX is focused on creating a clear understanding of European digital education infrastructure as part of the ongoing digital transformation in education. By looking at possible futures, the project aims to guide institutions and countries toward building a more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable online education system.
