these ends.
− Scientific input for policymakers at the national and EU levels
(European Commission) to understand the policy relevance of
the project results. From the policy point of view, the TITA sci-
entific base establishes the foundations for the effectiveness, ef-
ficiency and conditions for the scalability of the policy experi-
mentation results and enables the transnational transfer of good
practices. Ultimately, the TITA consortium believes that use of
proposed and tested measures has the potential to act as a major
catalyst for integrating effective and efficient ESL measures into
education systems across the EU.
− Scientific review of ESL for other interested actors. The compre-
hensive TITA scientific base is freely available to other interested
actors so they can exploit it in support of their particular require-
ments and interests. Although an enormous amount of research
has already been done on ESL, NESSE (2010) identified the need
for a more comprehensive review of what is known about ESL.
The TITA scientific base is an attempt to respond to that need.
Scientific review articles, published as chapters of this monograph,
are published also at the website of the TITA project (http:// titapro-
ject.eu). Design of the website enables searching and reading the articles
interactively.
