This initiative aims to provide Ethiopian universities of applied sciences with Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and simulation-based workplaces exclusively designed for lecturers. These innovative tools will transform practical education and applied research in critical fields such as civil engineering, ICT, electro-technical studies, manufacturing, and smart factory solutions, helping to build a skilled workforce for Ethiopia's rapidly evolving industries.
The hybrid Kick-off Meeting which took place on December 19, 2024, at Kotobe University of Education, brought together all partner institutions. Representatives presented overviews of their organizations and outlined their contributions to this transformative initiative. The discussions emphasized the effective implementation of project tasks and deliverables.
This collaborative project includes three European universities(German and Italian) and six Ethiopian Universities of Applied Sciences, working together to drive innovation in higher education.
As part of its responsibilities, Dire Dawa University will work together with other project partners in the establishment of MaDE-Technology Center in DDU, pilot the newly developed VR/AR/simulation toolboxes, and organizing Training of Trainers (ToT) programs for the target groups.
This initiative marks a significant step in advancing applied sciences in Ethiopia by equipping lecturers with state-of-the-art tools and resources to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
Stay tuned for more updates on this!
