Across Europe, academic catalogues remain fragmented, inconsistent, or difficult to navigate. For mobility staff, this means time-consuming processes and uncertainty. For students, it can mean missed opportunities. After three years of research, mapping, and collaboration with higher education institutions, the DACEM project is bringing forward concrete answers: What is the current state of academic catalogues in Europe? What needs to change? And how can we move towards more accessible, interoperable, and user-centred systems?https://projects.uni-foundation.eu/dacem/Join the final event to explore these questions with peers, experts, and policymakers.

On May 6, 2026 the 4nd Evening Vocational High School of Volos visited the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Thessaly to engage in activities related to computational thinking. Computational thinking, a problem-solving process that involves decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and stepwise solution, is particularly important in vocational education, where problem-solving capacity plays a central role and has direct applications in real-world professional settings. The 25 participants/students had the opportunity to reflect on the benefits of computational thinking. Then, they piloted the project-developed resources and conducted activities to reduce a home’s energy consumption across 3 scenarios: winter (cold climate), summer (hot climate), and autumn (no heating or cooling required). Students particularly enjoyed the activities and developed a deeper understanding of computational thinking and its benefits see…
