This “Final Benchmarking Report”(2007) presents the results of the benchmarking study on European Policies and Initiatives to support e-learning in enterprises commissioned by the European Commission – DG Enterprise and Industry.

The emergence of a knowledge-based economy and the need to assure conditions of social inclusion to all for the 21^st century has brought into light the necessity to enhance the continuous development of the human capital according to a lifelong learning perspective. In these regards, e-learning can represent an effective and viable way to provide methods and resources for lifelong learning and life-wide learning.

In this framework, the specific objective of the Study was to analyse and benchmark national and regional industrial and enterprises policies and initiatives in support of e-learning for enterprises and to identify the most successful strategies in view of promoting good practices and the efficient use of e-learning in European enterprises.
