VIBES

PROJECT FACTSHEET Project Title: The Virtual Innovative Biomedical Education in Science - VIBES Project duration: 01/02/2022 – 31/01/2025 Number of partners: 5 (Beneficiary: Uniwersytet Medyczny w Lublinie Polska, University of Foggia, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Universitetet I Oslo, Haskolinn I Reykjavik) Funding: This project is funded under the Erasmus+ Key Action 2: Cooperation among organisations and institutions. Project Number: 2021-1-PL01-KA220-HED-000027611 PROJECT OBJECTIVES The key objective of the project is the development of a platform that would, in the educationally unstable times, provide students and teaching professionals with tools to maintain the high standards of the practical training. It is in line with the objectives set by the European Commission in the Education and Training Program. Specifically, the VIBES will contribute to the establishment of innovative European educational and scientific partnerships to design and implement students’ training with the use of high-quality standardized materials necessary for creation of sustainable educational models embedded with curricula. The aims of this project are: 1. address the common needs and priorities in the field of biomedical education resulting from limited access to laboratory infrastructure/equipment and teacher/peer-based institutional methods 2. enable transformation and curricular changes by creation of an innovative online laboratory practice in biotechnology/ bioscience lab techniques 3. promote knowledge transfer to digitally enhanced scientific approach 4. allow learners to develop skills for professional decision-making and scientific operational autonomy 5. enhance the quality in biomedical laboratory science education and practice 6. increase the capacity of cooperating participants to operate jointly at transnational level 7. open biomedical laboratory science to external learners and potential stakeholders
