BI has become a partner in the EU funded Erasmus+ Project, Design and Art for All Humanity (DART∀HUMANITY), which will take three years to complete.
After the kick-off-meeting hosted by project leader CEU UCH in Valencia on January 16th, the second in-person meeting of the Erasmus+ Research Project was held in Venice organized by project partner FCF on November 17th. Researchers Prof. Javier Martin and Dr. Sait Ali Köknar represented BI during intense talks during which proposals for pilot studies which will integrate STEAM projects into higher education curricula were presented and given shape.
