projects

EU projects and research lines, from immersive journalism education and environmental monitoring to robotic vision and policy analytics.

iStream: Erasmus+ Project on Immersive Journalism

iStream (Higher Education programmes on Immersive journalism approach) is an Erasmus+ Cooperation partnership in higher education (KA220-HED), co-funded by the European Union. It aims to bridge the competence gap in the use of immersive technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality and 360-degree media in the media, journalism and communication sectors, and to improve higher education curricula so as to reduce the digital skills mismatch in the European media and communication sector. The partnership brings together the University of the National Education Commission (UKEN, Kraków, Poland), Learnable (Italy), Università Politecnica delle Marche (Italy), the University of Nicosia (Cyprus) and Infinitivity Design Labs (France).
