SOCRATES is the European Community action programme
for co-operation in the field of education, covering the period 1995-1999.
It aims at developing the European dimension in education and at enhancing
its quality, through partnership across national boundaries.
The participating countries are the 15 Member States of the European
Union as well as the EFTA/EEA countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway.
Socrates is now being extended to several associated countries in Central
and Eastern Europe, Cyprus, Malta and eventually Turkey.
The Socrates programme is the first European initiative covering education
at all ages and forms part of a broader approach to the concept of lifelong
learning.
