ALLIANCE4XR

ERASMUS +

Alliance4XR (Innovation alliance to infuse Extended Reality skills into Higher education and vocational training) is an Erasmus+ project co-funded by the European Union which seeks to empower educational institutions and vocational training centers by co-creating a practical methodology for integrating XR into education specifically focused on areas like structural engineering, energy, and maritime.

The project comprises a multidisciplinary consortium of 13 partners across eight (8) different European countries, spread across eight European countries, Alliance4XR is the perfect synergy between academia and industry.

What is Alliance4XR?

Goal

Alliance4XR project is set on co-creating and testing a well-tailored teaching and training methodology and material for empowering HEIs and VET to successfully address the challenge of XR digital skills mismatch focusing with a focus in engineering. This methodology and material will enhance the capacity and knowledge of HEIs, VET in successfully addressing the technological and access-to-market challenges that students and trainees face when entering employment in relevant engineering professions

Objectives

Enhance capacity and knowledge of HEIs and VETs

  1. Prepare students and trainees for engineering professions

  2. Foster alliances between academia and the private sector

  3. Drive research advancement and innovation

  4. Promote education and entrepreneurship in XR and green skills

What’s the role of EuroXR in the project?

EuroXR has been granted to fulfill several project activities as a consortium member. Mainly communication and dissemination activities but also it will be leading tasks focused on two main topics:

EuroXR has been assigned to carry out various project activities as a consortium member. Mainly, we will be in charge of communication and dissemination tasks, but we will also lead tasks that concentrate on two primary subjects:

  1. Digital and green skills state of play for XR

  2. Institutions’ current status and needs analysis

For the former topic we are presently engaged in a research called “eXtended Reality state and needs for Education & Training” for wich we are gathering data through surveys and interviews. Your assistance in completing the survey by May 17th would be greatly appreciated.

The project will have a duration of 3 years during which EuroXR will be supporting the assigned activities. All the information about the project will be published and updated regularly in EuroXR  website and it will also be available in the project’s website and social channels.
