EVOLVE
(evidence-validated online learning through virtual exchange) aims to incorporate virtual exchange as an innovative form of collaborative international learning across disciplines in higher education institutions in Europe and the rest of the world.
Virtual exchange is a form of computerized learning whereby students from different parts of the world work together (in pairs or small groups) on learning tasks developed by teachers or educational facilitators.
There is a growing interest in implementing it to innovate and internationalize programs in Higher Education, but the feasibility and effectiveness of this form of collaborative learning at the institutional level has not yet been demonstrated to university leaders and policy makers in Europe, being this the main objective of the EVOLVE project.

RoboSTEAM
RoboSTEAM will define a methodology and a set of tools that will help students develop computational thinking through the use/programming of PD&R in pre-college education stages. The project will also improve teacher training, providing them with a framework for easy STEAM integration in different educational contexts by providing guidelines for good practice and lessons learned adapted to different contexts. All these products will have been tested in different countries and cross-validated in different institutions of higher education. The RoboSTEAM project applies a challenge-based learning approach using robotics and physical devices. One of the problems encountered during the project is the complexity of applying a challenge-based learning approach due to the special needs of each educational institution.
MOOC2MOVE
The project proposes to create a learning path that facilitates the development of linguistic fluency in academic contexts, helping the student to acquire this fluency by proposing methods and support in the application of these methods. The “learning to learn” approach is considered multidisciplinary (the project will focus on methods that can be applied to many domains, such as taking notes, giving a short oral presentation with slides, interpreting figures, writing an abstract, etc.). The learning route will be carried out as a MOOC so that it is accessible to the largest number of students in mobility and designed for self-study.

(AcHopInt) Academic Hospitality for International students in higher education
International students are students who choose to undertake their education in a country other than their own. They are a vulnerable group, generally dealing with problems of loneliness, isolation, culture shock, language, and academic achievement. These problems can cause psychological distress among students.
The number of international students in Europe is increasing, and the complexity of the problems of education, socialization and cultural diversity among international students requires innovative solutions. This project behaves as an innovative tool in order to solve this problem. The outcome of the academic hospitality model will provide guidance for academic and non-academic staff in higher education institutions to follow while dealing with international student issues.
