The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven is the largest university in Flanders, and one of the eldest in Europe. K.U.Leuven has a long-standing tradition within the ERASMUS programme and participates in a number of international study programmes. The Media and Learning Unit- that coordinates the K.U.Leuven effort - has participated in a number of research projects on virtual education, e-learning and technology-enhanced learning in general. The unit supports in an integrated and interdisciplinary way education at the university, with focus on media, technological, pedagogical and organisational aspects. The Media and Learning Unit acts as an interface at the university for networked e-learning in an international context, i.e. to encourage and support local university teachers in the internationalisation of their education by using ICT with advise, design, development, implementation, training, and vice versa, to assess (inter)national trends to translate (inter)national initiatives to the local and/or regional setting.

Founded in 1985 and formally constituted by Charter in 1987, the Coimbra group is an association of long-established European multidisciplinary universities of high international standard committed to creating special academic and cultural ties in order to promote, for the benefit of its members, internationalisation, academic collaboration, excellence in learning and research, and service to society. It is also the purpose of the Group to influence European educational policy and to develop best practice through mutual exchange of experience.

The Coimbra Group was among the earliest associations to develop fully-fledged Erasmus Programme activities, and has decades of experience in the exchange of researchers, teachers and students. The Coimbra Group participates in a number of EU-funded projects within the framework of e-learning and virtual mobility.
