3-LENSUS focuses on the key issue of the "knowledge triangle" of education, research and innovation, for regional sustainable development.
The project will
- create a Network for ESD and European Virtual Learning Space to innovative approaches among regional learning networks for sustainable development
- build capacity for furthering these activities
- offer e-learning activities for cross-sector ESD.
3-LENSUS addresses the need for
Product(s):
The 3-LENSUS project will create

- more RCE-type networks ( like through the RCE Rhein Meuse )
- best practice toolboxes in e-learning for ESD methodology and development of indicators for ESD
- a network for ESD to share best practice in ESD and learning networks for SD via the European Virtual Learning Space (RCEs, Universities and other societal actors in the field of development)
