The COST Action held three Working Groups (WGs) coordinated by two leaders. WGs were comprised of several teams gathering researchers from different countries (minimum of four) and backgrounds. Teams implemented specific projects aligned with the WGs scientific, technological, and societal objectives.
WGS Shared Principles:
1. Connect both reading and writing research communities and involve policy makers, practitioners, technology designers, and relevant stakeholders.
2. Operate with an embracing definition of literacy as it is being redefined within a digital environment.
3. Include explicit comparisons of cross-linguistic and cross-cultural differences among participating countries.
4. Develop sharp recommendations for educational policy and practice, and, when relevant, for technological development.
5. Foster the research skills of early stage and other researchers across the breadth of the participating countries.
6. Secure a European Literacy Network that outlives the Action, thereby playing an enduring role in strengthening European’s capabilities.
