A few weeks ago, the e-DIPLOMA Project Consortium meeting took place at Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
As announced at the time, e-Diploma Project and its partners met in person in the city of Budapest in order to discuss the current status of this amazing project.
Over the course of these days, each WP leader presented the progress made in their areas over the last year. We also had the opportunity to test the prototypes we are developing, create content for social networks, foster team spirit and strengthen the links between entities, nations and people from all over the EU.
The e-DIPLOMA Project meeting was divided into two days:
- On the first day, the agenda included three main topics, in order to assess the effectiveness of immersive technologies in education, co-creation with policy makers, exploitation of results, communication and dissemination. In addition, the group had the opportunity to test two of the three innovative courses we are developing.

- The second day of the e-DIPLOMA Project Consortium meeting at Budapest University of Technology and Economics, focused on the third prototype developed by Delft University of Technology and tested by the partners with excellent results. Additionally, Kai Pata (Tallinn University), as coordinator of the co-design activities, summarised the activities carried out in the second year of the project. Finally, Kleovoulos Stylianou (Center for Social Innovation – CSI ) and I conducted a workshop with the partners using a card game specifically designed for this occasion (e-DIPLOMA Ethics Agent). The consortium divided into groups and discussed how the different prototypes can be adapted to integrate an ethical value related to a person with certain characteristics. This game has raised awareness of the need to take into account different ethical values when developing technologies and how to emphasise the human-centred perspective.

This meeting represents the beginning of the third and final year of the project, a crucial period to achieve the expected and impactful results. It was a very enriching experience for all of us and allowed us to have a great time working on such a challenging topic as ethics in technologies.
Thanks to the whole team for the effort and participation!
