JEM is the entry point to activities in the area of semantic markup for mathematics which is directly related to enhancing digital content, in particular e-learning of mathematics. Much of this activity is or has been sponsored by the EU (OpenMath, OpenMath-TN, WebALT, LeActiveMath, Genesis), some is sponsored by national agencies (MatTaFI, Serving Mathematics, EMILeA-stat, Moses, Mumie, MEMBERS, math-kit), some by multi-national consortia (W3C’s MathML Interest Group, OpenMath Society), and some by private enterprise (NAG Ltd., Liguori Editore, Maths For More, ISN).
Here below is a list of projects related to the scope and goals of JEM.

| Towards an accessible science: facilitating access to scientific digital resources for visually impaired students | Aim of this project is to facilitate the enjoyment of digitally available scientific resources to visually impaired students and researchers.

| A Science and Technology Metalanguage and eScience Suite | The Internet has revolutionized the access to scientific documents, but not the accessibility of the knowledge involved. Conventional web technologies like search engines are handicapped, as fundamental assumptions like the universality of language (for precision) and high redundancy (for recall) are not met in scientific documents, which crucially depend on embedded representations of scientific objects, such as mathematical formulae, molecules and graphs, provenance statements, such as proofs and experimental details, and context, such as theories, notations and model assumptions.

| EMILeA-stat | The goal of the project "e-stat" was to develop and provide a multimedia, web-based, and interactive learning and teaching environment in applied statistics called EMILeA-stat. The project was set up by 13 partners working at eight German universities: Augsburg, Bonn, Berlin (Humboldt-University), Dortmund, Karlsruhe, Münster, Oldenburg (leading university; now Aachen), and Potsdam.

| i-MATH | Ingenio MATHEMATICA (i-MATH) is a CONSOLIDER singular research project for the period 2006-2011. It proposes a complete activity research program for Spanish mathematics, with the purpose of promoting and carrying out strategic actions of national scope that qualitatively and quantitatively increase mathematical presence on the international scene, and in the Spanish system of science, technology and business and on the international scene.

| Linklists of distributed eLearning Sources in Physics | LiLi - the database to e-learning material in physics consists of well documented links with meta data and a search engine of distributed sources. LiLi searches across at present 2.644 carefully picked worldwide distributed eLearning sources. These are analyzed and enriched with eLearning Metadata.

| Math-kit | Math-kit was a joint project of the FernUniversität in Hagen (coordinator), the University of Bayreuth, the University of Hamburg, the University of Paderborn and the industrial partner Sciface GmbH \& Co. KG. Within this project, various multimedia units for mathematics higher education have been produced. Math-kit contains elements for motivation, exploration, applications, visualization as well as drills and exercises. These elements may be combined in several ways in order to support different learning objectives.
