Scientific & Teaching Committee First Meeting

On 30 July 2026, the Scientific & Teaching Committee of the international project "Virtual Worlds Innovation Masters: Shaping Future Digital Skills Europe" (UPRAISE) held its first meeting. Volodymyr Hnatushenko, Head of the Department of Information Technology and Computer Engineering, joined the committee's work.

The primary objective of the committee is to provide expert oversight and scientific guidance for all educational products and deliverables developed within the project.

Representatives of the consortium member organizations initiated the validation process for the Skills Gap Report. This document will serve as the foundation for designing new courses, establishing assessment criteria, and implementing innovative educational solutions. Furthermore, the meeting participants finalized the work schedule and evaluation framework for the next two years.
