Project description

The project transforms higher education institutions (HEIs) into leaders of Web 4.0 innovation, equipping students with advanced technical and entrepreneurial skills while fostering academia-industry collaboration. Led by the Faculty of Organizational Sciences (FON) in Serbia, the consortium includes academic partners from Serbia, Portugal and Spain, namely the Faculty of Medicine, University UMAIA, and Politeknika Txorierri, then CERTH as a prominent research partner from Greece, and UBIK as a leading professional society in blockchain from Croatia.

Specializing in blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and Internet of Things (IoT), the project develops cutting-edge curricula, practical workshops, and mentorship programs, preparing students for real-world challenges. It also creates networking platforms to connect students, researchers, and industry experts, fostering sustainable innovation ecosystems.

Led by Moonstruck, a Serbian leader in blockchain and AI, the dissemination strategy uses a dynamic website, targeted campaigns, and a final international conference to promote results and collaboration. By addressing regulatory barriers and promoting innovation, the project strengthens the role of European HEIs in driving the digital economy.
