Inter-Mediterranean Peace And CollaboraTion

IMPACT (Inter-Mediterranean Peace And CollaboraTion) is a consortium of HEIs, organizations, youth associations, and technology companies from Europe, Israel, and Morocco. Through its actions, the project aims to foster intercultural dialogue and soft skills development. It will employ youth-friendly technologies and innovative pedagogies. Our work plan includes the design and piloting of the virtual exchanges through (a) joint innovative Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) modules; (b) joint virtual activities and events. (c) Toolboxes that provide innovative means and approaches for intercultural dialogue and collaboration through innovative digital technology and pedagogy will facilitate the designing of COIL modules and courses as well as joint activities and events. The participating HEIs in this program will develop institutional strategies and policies to validate COIL courses, online workshops, and debates. These strategies and policies can be used as models or templates by other European institutions, third countries, and the world. All the IMPACT educational activities will be accredited within the participant Institutions using ECTS, Virtual Exchange digital badges, or micro-credentials. All the provided certificates will be transferable and credible using Blockchain technology.

European Master in Embedded Intelligence Nanosystems Engineering

The English-language degree program "Embedded Intelligence Nanosystems Engineering (EMINENT)" is offered jointly by 5 universities: University of Siegen, Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU, Greece), NOVA Lisbon (Portugal), University of Orléans (France) and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (Lithuania). It is structured in the form of a vertical process chain: From functional nanomaterials to sensors and operational systems that network physical and virtual objects ("Internet of Things"). The first semester takes place at HMU, where students are introduced to the topic of nanotechnology. Students spend the second semester at the University of Siegen (focus on sensor technology and data analysis). From the third semester onwards, the specialization phase takes place, in which one of 5 focus topics can be chosen: 1) University of Siegen: Embedded intelligent sensor technology 2) HMU: Functional materials with opto-electronic properties 3) NOVA: Natural materials and biosensors 4) Vilnius Tech: Advanced sensor systems and data processing 5) University of Orléans: Internet of Things and robotics

Double Degree Masterprogramme Electronical Engineering

A DDP in Electronical Engineering has been approved for implementation by USiegen and VILNIUS TECH. Student selection will start February 2026 (studies start in Oct 2026). A proposal has been submitted to DAAD in October 2025 in order to receive funding for student scholarship and administration. The plan is for students from the University of Siegen to spend the first and second semesters at U Siegen and then transfer to VILNIUS TECH in Vilnius for the third semester. At the same time, students from VILNIUS TECH can transfer to U Siegen for the third semester. The main subjects are ‘Electronics Design and Technology’ at U Siegen and ‘Advanced Electronics Design’ at VILNIUS TECH. Each semester is made up of a combination of compulsory and elective courses and comprises a total of 30 ECTS. For the Master's thesis, which takes place in the fourth semester, students can choose again whether they want to stay at the partner university or transfer to their home university. Preferably, however, the third and fourth semesters should be spent at the same university. Ideally, the Master's theses should be assessed by a supervisor from both partners.

Creation of an automated system for detecting damages and recognizing fundamental structural elements of monuments using artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques.

MICE Next Evolution

The project defines and shares aims, methods and tools for a transnational cooperation model between HEIs and MICE sector players in Italy, Spain, Belgium, Lithuania and Slovenia and which takes the form of a stable partnership to conceive, design, experiment and disseminate a new MICE Management HE curriculum that valorises, in young European students from economic backgrounds, an integrated set of managerial, digital and green skills to become real change agents in the MICE sector.

Widening Excellence and Mentoring in Cybersecurity

WEM Cyber's mission is to boost women's participation and expertise in cybersecurity through targeted secondments, mentorship, and skills development programmes. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, the project aims to build research capacity and facilitate knowledge exchange, equipping participants with the entrepreneurial and leadership skills necessary to excel, and thereby contribute to the mitigation of brain drain in widening countries. Key objectives include funding 38 secondments across 5 organisations, enhancing participants' technical and soft skills through tailored training, and strengthening academia-industry collaboration. Each secondee will follow a personalised development plan, ensuring they gain relevant skills for career advancement and cybersecurity expertise.

Co-created Interactive Courseware

The main goal of the project was to create an effective means of the co-creation of learning through the use of interactive online courseware. Alongside this, we aimed to offer educators insights into their students’ learning experience through the use of learning analytics, which we aimed to build into the platform, following a research-led design approach, taking feedback from users (learners and educators) at each step.

Sign Language Dictionary of Technical Terms for Education

he purpose of the TechWhiz project was to advance inclusive higher education by tearing down the barriers that deaf students face when coming across new concepts that have no corresponding sign language sign, thus requiring an explanation for a swift takeover of new knowledge in a specific study field. TechWhiz aimed to assist deaf students gaining equal access to education and enhance their learning experience. The specific objectives of the project were: – develop an online semi-automatic platform to dynamically create, maintain and search a glossary providing explanations of technical or scientific terms in national sign languages, – deploy a version of a glossary for the study fields of Information Technologies and Electrical Engineering in the partners’ sign languages (Portuguese, German, Slovenian Greek and Cypriot sign languages), – empower non-expert users to understand and effectively use the TechWhiz platform.

Each secondee will follow a personalised development plan, ensuring they gain relevant skills for career advancement and cybersecurity expertise. Some measurable outcomes include 29 research publications, contribution to 10 new cybersecurity solutions and at least 50% of secondees reporting improved career prospects. Additionally, the dissemination of the project's methodology and knowledge will help establish a sustainable, long-term network within the consortium partners and beyond. The WEM Cyber consortium comprises 8 partners from 7 European countries (Türkiye, Greece, Slovenia, Lithuania, Spain, France and Belgium) all with extensive experience in cybersecurity. Bisilim Vadisi (TR) is acting as coordinator, ATHENA members – VILNIUS TECH and University of Maribor are project partners.
