Project summary
VISUENERGY project provides digital solutions that increase the resilience, quality, and financial sustainability of high-quality laboratory education.
We develop open and accessible, and virtual materials chemistry laboratories for training students in the field of sustainable energy solutions such as light-emitting diodes or Li-ion batteries.
The virtual laboratories are integrated with state-of-the-art materials modelling platform, bridging experiment and theory.
Consortium
Funding
VISUENERGY is funded during years 2022-2024 by the European Union Erasmus+ Programme. More information about the Erasmus+ programme is available at the website of the Finnish National Agency for Education.
Project Results
Our project involves four major Project Results related to the implementation of virtual materials chemistry laboratories and virtual materials modelling platform integrated into the laboratories.
