Master’s programme in Family Business Management – FAB is co-funded under the Erasmus+ programme, Capacity Building in Higher Education action and aims to create a new Master’s programme in the specialized academic area of Family Business Management in Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal. The project is coordinated by the National University of Management in Cambodia. The FAB curriculum will incorporate novel entrepreneurial theories, business models and innovative management tools fostering new family entrepreneurs, but also promoting entrepreneurial behaviour (including innovation) in existing family firms. Asian universities are supported by partners from Portugal, Greece and Cyprus. Link of the project: https://fab-project.eu/

TUBERS - Scalable and Modular robotic tools for pipeline inspection and repair The EU-funded TUBERS project will create the world’s first combination of robotic platforms allowing around-the-clock inspection and targeted in-situ repairs. The system will significantly reduce regular inspection and maintenance costs. It comprises a snake-like resident robot for long-distance operations overleaping pipeline-junctions to navigate the network, a modular soft-robotic platform for inspections and repairs of pipe segments, a high-accuracy inspection system to detect leaks and measure corrosion, and Explainable Machine Learning algorithms-powered Decision Support System.   Link of the project: https://tubers-project.eu/ CORDIS Link of TUBERS: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101070115

ARISE - Advanced AI and RobotIcS for autonomous task pErformance ARISE project will introduce cutting-edge technologies that revolutionise complex manipulation tasks and redefine the future of automation. Specifically, it will develop reconfigurable pneumatic manipulators, variable-stiffness soft end-effectors, and cutting-edge perception modules. This innovative toolchain, with applications in installation, repair, transplanting, and harvesting tasks in solar and hydroponic farms, promises a transformative leap in the automation landscape. Overall, the project’s comprehensive approach, from hierarchical imitation learning to edge-AI deployment, heralds a new era of efficiency and progress.

The project "Echoes of Memory: Interactive Conversations with Holocaust Survivors through AI" aims to enhance Holocaust education as well as spread awareness through the utilization of innovative AI-driven technology within an interdisciplinary transnational partnership from Greece, Lithuania, Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Poland. Through the creation of AI chatbots, simulating conversations with Holocaust survivors, the project will allow for engaging, interactive and personalized learning pathways accessible to diverse audiences, particularly younger generations in a culturally responsive and gender-sensitive manner. This approach will preserve Holocaust survivors' testimonies for the future generations and will also make learning about the Holocaust more engaging and accessible. A Governance Framework promoting ethical standards and interdisciplinary collaboration will be further developed ensuring the project’s applicability and scalability as a blueprint f...

RE-Direction RE-DIRECTION envisages to introduce a new paradigm for Higher Education as a whole, which will be hopefully considered as an impactful and useful tool to be included in the agenda of each third country not associated to the Programme’s growth, building a strong, dynamic and supportive training package that also, includes the relevant infrastructure and organizational change needed for a modern society. In general, it will train staff and trainers, concerning the redesigned curricula developed and craft policy recommendations on connectivity issues of remote HEIs, with ultimate goals to equally meet the labor market needs as well as learners’ needs, match the essential skills and jobs, adapt to fastchanging workplace requirements and bring forward innovative skills. In detail, it aims at reinforcing Ukrainian and Georgian Universities with innovative forms of teaching, by redesigning and updating current curricula covering the triphasic spectrum of digitalization.

VirtuallyEDU VIRTUALLYEDU, an international Virtual Exchange program, is designed to empower over 2,500 students from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across European Union State Members and Eastern Neighborhood Countries. The program’s core mission is to foster digital proficiency and deepen cybersecurity understanding among young learners. This consortium is a collaborative effort involving 9 partner HEIs and youth organisations hailing from a diverse range of countries, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Greece, Georgia, and Sweden. The project symbolises a European endeavour to digitally upskill young minds, reflecting a commitment to the technological advancement of the next generation. VIRTUALLYEDU’s curriculum, a pivotal element of the program, comprises 10 meticulously selected courses. These courses focus on digital skills and cybersecurity, ensuring that the educational content is both relevant and cutting-edge. This curriculum will be imparted through an established MOOC ...

VirtuEu is a Virtual Exchange program that unites young people across borders, ensuring inclusivity by overcoming barriers that might hinder participation. It aims to engage over 2.500 students of HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) from EU State Members and Western Balkan Countries in activities that will promote active citizenship and civic participation. We believe that by working together, sharing insights, and learning from each other, we can achieve greater impact than any of us could alone. The project is built on a foundation of mutual respect, open communication, and a shared commitment of empowering the target group and make them more active in civic participation.

DigiGEAR – Introducing Augmented Reality in the VET sector with a focus on the Automotive Engineering sector aims at making a significant impact in the VET field introducing AR technology as a complement to the traditional classroom-based training. To achieve this, we aim to develop an AR platform and accompanying training materials, followed by a pilot phase to ensure effectiveness. Practical experience is vital in technical fields like Automotive Engineering. Therefore, our objective is to provide learners with a safe and controlled environment to gain hands-on experience, thus improving the overall effectiveness of VET. Furthermore, we aim to raise awareness about the benefits of VET and promote the use of AR technologies in education and training. By showcasing the advantages of this approach, we aim to address shared needs and foster innovation in the sector. In parallel, we envision establishing a robust network of VET providers and industry partners to facilitate knowledge ...
