  • The project 'Best practices for high-immersion experience design' deals with immersive technologies, mainly the design of immersive 3D experiences, which are a good support for learning, especially through the use of virtual reality (VR). The project, carried out in collaboration with universities from Portugal and Spain, will develop training materials for 3D designers. The coordinator is Dr inż. Grzegorz Zwoliński from the Voxel Research Lab team at TUL.
  • The project 'Blended Outdoor Learning for fostering the employability of new graduates' addresses the need to bridge the gap between formal education and the needs of a rapidly changing society and labour market. A training programme based on outdoor learning methodologies will be developed to meet the objective. The project coordinator is Dr inż. Anna Laska-Leśniewicz from the Institute of Mechatronics and Information Systems at TUL. The partners include universities from Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal and a Spanish training company.
