We’re thrilled to have completed the ECIU micro-module on Enabling Industry 4.0 Applications! It was a pleasure working with both our local students and those from other ECIU universities, including Aveiro, Trento, INSA Strasbourg and Lodz.

This blended programme offered a fantastic opportunity to collaborate across cultures. The students from both bachelor’s and master’s programmes — and from a variety of disciplines — came together to explore innovative ways of learning. Rather than traditional lectures, this course embraced a coaching approach, encouraging interaction, peer learning, and active participation. A truly inspiring experience for everyone involved!

We appreciate the support we received from ZLL to organise such a course.
