The EDUC Think Lab is an innovative and collaborative programme that invites students to play a central role in shaping the future of the EDUC Virtual Campus. As part of the European Digital UniverCity (EDUC) Alliance, which was founded in 2019, the Think Lab is designed to advance digitalisation and strengthen the interconnectedness between eight European universities. The virtual campus is a key part of this mission, and it needs your input to grow and evolve.

In the Think Lab, students from across the EDUC universities work together to answer a fundamental question: What kind of environment do students need to thrive in an international, digital academic setting? Instead of just offering ideas, you’ll be part of a hands-on process, working directly on real projects that contribute to the development of the virtual campus.

The Think Lab participants aren't starting from scratch, though. A dedicated team of IT experts and pedagogical engineers has already laid the groundwork. Now, as the largest group of users, students are invited to join the process and shape the virtual campus to fit their needs and expectations.
