Abstract

The LiLa project – short for “Library of Labs” – is a European Community funded project to network remote experiments and virtual laboratories. The goal of this project is the composition and dissemination of a European infrastructure for mutual exchange of experimental setups and simulations, specifically targeted at undergraduate studies in engineering and science. This article discusses the architecture of the project, introduces its components and sheds some light on our motivation and background.
