Library of Labs
The project "LiLa" is co-funded by the European Commission in the context of the eContentplus programme. Its duration is from May 15th 2009 until May 14th 2011.

“LiLa” is the acronym for the “Library of Labs”, an initiative of eight universities and three enterprises, for the mutual exchange of and access to
  • virtual laboratories (simulation environments) and
  • remote experiments (real laboratories which are remotely controlled via the internet).
LiLa builds a portal which grants the access to virtual labs and remote experiments. It includes services like a
  • scheduling system,
  • connection to library resources,
  • tutoring system,
  • 3D-environment for online collaboration.
Moreover LiLa creates an organisational framework for the exchange of experiments between institutions and for the access to experimental setups. Supporting this, Lila provides contract templates for institutions and didactical help for lecturers for the integration of remote and virtual experiments into curricula. Primary target groups of LiLa are university teachers and their students in undergraduate and graduate classes of the natural sciences and engineering.LiLa Web Site

The main objectives of the LiLa project are the following:
  • create a technical and organizational framework for the mutual exchange of experiments across Europe,
  • build a portal for the access to virtual laboratories, remote experiments and other media,
  • make them accessible by a retrieval system,
  • exploit them with an access control and booking system,
  • guide users with a tutoring system,
  • integrate labs into a virtual 3D-world and provide a framework for online collaboration,
  • disseminate the network across Europe.
The target groups are:
  • students: Undergraduate and graduate students will find a lot of remote and virtual experiments and connected content to enhance and improve their studies.
  • lecturers: most of the content will be arranged by university teachers. LiLa gives didactical and technical help to do this.
  • content providers: LiLa invites content providers to share their content and make it accessible within the LiLa framework.
