As partner in the EU-supported BIRD-project our educational leader Bjarke Nielsen have created 3 best practices.

• Rural Internet at 1/3 of City Prices - lessons learned from the DjurslandS.net experience 
• Networking Djursland - lessons learned from developing ICT-society on rural Djursland
• DIIRWB - teaching the world the lessons learned creating ICT-society on rural Djursland

These best practices will be part of a collection of best practices from the projects participians, which are all located around the North Sea.

Djursland International Institute of Rural Wireless Broadband
- is a project in the first phase of its development

The goal is, amongst many things, to establish:-Training in organisation and establishment of wireless networks, both for rural landscapes but also for towns all over the world. Using the experiences gained in building and establishing The DjurslandS.net

• Projects for wireless networks in 3.world countries, through a study and planning progress in Denmark (in Djursland), and after the study period has ended, helping to start up the wireless networks on location.
• A pysical frame for both training and research in technologies of wireless networking.
  We would like to establish a platform for both researchers-, especially grassroots, to focus specifically in the field of their interest, and thereby create synergi and innovation.
• Sittingboxes to support the projects of entrepreneurs that will come as an result of the research made on the Institute.
• Target the training to the needs of the students, so they get the most out of it, being able to be selvsufficient when they leave the Institute.
• To be at service to the students who has left and have started their networks, always giving them backup in the form of help to solve technical problems.
• To supply networks with prefinished portals of E-learning, localnews, private homepages, and local businesses, to ease the starting up for them.
