Firstly it's a great idea in developing a clear vision in Horizon 2020.
I too agree that Next-generation Collaborative Learning Platforms would be of paramount importance in this aspect.
I strongly view that Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) would play an important role in this aspect.
On one hand it would help reaching a larger audience beyond barriers. Also using different MOOCs platforms, a larger education community would be intertwined over some common interest.
Another important aspect of MOOCs I would like to mention is that, it could be implemented as a pathway to Ubiquitous Learning.
In this scenario, education would be virtually available everywhere and to everyone. Anyone seeking education could get it free, anytime and at any place on the earth.
As a Masters student, I view the education scenario to be this by 2020.

I think there is a number of components of the next generation learning platforms such as learning objects, learning activities, (WEb 2.0) tools, apps etc. All those components should be based on intelligent technologies such as ontologies to personalise those components according to learners' needs. This could be one of the ideas for Horizon 2020 proposal.
I think it is a good idea and we are interested in Horizont 2020. If you need a partner from Poland, please contact us. Luis Ochoa PhD, Research and Innovation in Education. [email protected]
Horizon 2020 is a great opportunity for doing greats projects together. Some researches in Spain are promoting a new project based on the design of the next generation of business games. We don't have enough experience for taking the leadership of the project and we need partners around Europe and somebody well experienced in order to be the leader of the project.
Currently we are in contact with one of the leading companies in business game and is very interested in collaborating in the project.
We accept partners from everywhere, if you are interested in business games applied to education. Some ideas and proposals?
