The ARISTOTELE Project team participated in the Microsoft Acceleration Lab, event held at the Microsoft Headquarter located in Redmond/USA on 30th and 31st May 2013.The event was focused on specific 1:1 business meetings but included a couple of group sessions where future directions of Microsoft Technologies were discussed.

ARISTOTELE team had the opportunity to show its technical vision by using demos for some products:
• CV Analyzer App
• Sharepoint Q&A App
• Skydrive Document Search
• ARISTOTELE Semantic Platform

The meeting and the interview were recorded by Channel 9 and will be broadcast soon. The event also offered the opportunity to share observations of commercial nature and to receive suggestion on how to hook into the market.

ARISTOTELE aims at relating the learning process to the organizational one as well as to the innovation process management. In the organizational contexts three main kinds of processes are traditionally identified: organizational processes (marketing&communication, human resources management, business), learning processes (group training sessions) and social collaboration processes (spontaneous formation of groups within the organization).

ARISTOTELE will enhance workers' learning and training within their organizations. Models, methodologies, technologies and tools will be developed to support competencies and creativity by information and knowledge self-organizing, acquisition, processing and sharing to overcome the following current limits:

Missing link between adaptive and non-adaptive learning strategies
Missing interconnection between enterprise learning pathways and real contingent workers' needs
Missing link between organizational learning and creativity
Difficulty in exploiting formal and informal knowledge and the acquired experiences
Missing of any form of Collective Intelligence
