ISOC contains information on centralised cooperative education projects within SOCRATES, associated partners and co-ordinating partners, results and outputs of the projects, and events related to outputs or the project in general.

ISOC is developed and maintained by the Centre for International University Cooperation (SIU) in Bergen, Norway. The database is funded by SOCRATES, and was first deployed in 1999 as a projects database for the Minerva action. It has since been expanded to include project information for all centralised actions under the SOCRATES programme, and is currently supported throughout 2003.

Project information is added to the database for each approval round. Approved projects for 2003 will be added to the database later in 2003.
