EDUC task group launched an initial call in June 2020, simultaneous action in all six universities, with a landmark result of 135 teachers putting forward potential projects. After the second selection round, the result was 25 selected projects, already 50% of the final EDUC goal for 2022. The objective is to have 50 projects carried out and supported through EDUC and its assistance mechanisms (e-learning services for technical transformation, pedagogical engineering, language services for translation, dubbing, incentives and benefits to help teachers invest the extra time…). Stay tuned for both the opportunity to participate as a student, and for further teacher-oriented calls!
