CTLL coordinates the Erasmus+ Capacity Building for Higher Education project ALIEN: Active Learning in Engineering Education, which is funded by the European Commission. The aim of the research project is the upgrading of higher education at polytechnic schools in Asia. The project consortium includes 17 university partners, of which 12 are from Asia and specifically Malaysia, Vietnam, Nepal, Cambodia, and Pakistan, all 5 from Europe, and specifically from Portugal, Bulgaria, Estonia, United Kingdom, and Greece. Within the framework of the research programme an active learning methodology is developed for polytechnic schools. The proposed solution includes the creation of physical laboratories in Asian universities, the development of a digital platform for active learning, and the training of trainers for the integration of active learning as a basic methodology in higher education…

The group projects will be presented at the Thessaly Science Festival, to be held in Larissa, Greece on October 11-13, 2018 see more on the event

The LEAP project has been selected by the Erasmus+ Green National Agency, IKY, to be presented in Lodz, Poland in a TCE event that highlights European funded research projects focusing on serious games, design thinking, and other innovative learning methods.The event was held on September 28-30,, 2018 and provided a very good opportunity for sharing project results and networking with other scientists with an interest on serious games, design thinking, and other emerging learning approaches.
