The ENRICH Project is coordinated by the Hellenic Open University (HOU), based in Greece. Its prime mission is to offer university level education using distance learning methodology and to develop the appropriate educational material, methods and practices. The HOU is the only Greek University that offers formal education using the distance and blended learning methodology combined with the principles of adult education. About 80% of its students are working professionals who seek further education in order to improve or change their career, thus HOU has established a permanent connection with the market, professional networks and professional development agencies.
