GenAI-EduMap supports AI-ready education by helping schools move from isolated experimentation with Generative AI to ethical, inclusive and pedagogically grounded integration in teaching and learning. The project maps current GenAI practices, co-designs curriculum-aligned classroom use cases and develops practical tools, including an AI-supported educational platform, teacher training programmes, AI literacy resources, implementation guidelines and policy recommendations. Through pilots, research and collaboration with educators, learners and public education authorities, GenAI-EduMap aims to strengthen teachers’ capacity, promote responsible AI use and support future-ready education systems across Europe.

The 5G-BRIDGE project is a visionary initiative aimed at bridging the connectivity and digital divide in Greece by deploying advanced 5G Standalone (SA) network infrastructures with a focus on underserved areas, including remote villages and islands. The project seeks to accelerate the take-up of 5G SA connectivity, providing innovative smart services that not only address local needs but also contribute to the wider deployment of next-generation networks. The 5G-BRIDGE project leverages 5G SA networks to enable diverse use cases across key sectors such as education, healthcare, public safety and energy.

NEMESIS fosters collaborative networks to design and test locally adapted soil health solutions across the Mediterranean. NEMESIS integrates 60 real-life pilot sites to advance soil monitoring and sustainable land management, drives regional soil resilience, enhances soil literacy, and boosts active stakeholder engagement. By establishing a connected network of Living Labs (LLs), the project actively combats desertification and soil degradation.

SPHERE offers an innovative interdisciplinary and inclusive approach to education, equipping students with state-of-the-art tools and engaging them in contemporary research opportunities. Students will explore curriculum content while embarking on an analog space mission. For a few weeks, they will mimic the challenges of astronauts in foreign worlds in their schools, supported by AI-assisted content, enhancing their learning experience. They will collaborate with schools and researchers across borders in a genuine research journey. SPHERE invites students to work alongside their counterparts in other countries and jointly embark on international research, designing their own missions and analysing real data from AMEDEE missions, thereby transforming them from passive learners into active contributors to international research

BRIDGES Policy Experimentation Action aims to demonstrate how education systems can create new levels of awareness and work towards a sustainable future by developing innovative pathways for building sustainability competences. Specifically, it focuses on teaching for Sustainability Citizenship, a concept that integrates principles of sustainability into the roles, responsibilities, and rights of citizens. It is a form of citizenship that acknowledges the importance of balancing economic, social, and environmental aspects to ensure a sustainable future for all.

The European Academy for Teachers’ skills and competencies development for an effective AI Integration in education (ACT-AI) project aims to establish a pan-European academy for student teachers, in-service teachers, and school leaders to develop skills and competences for the effective and ethical use of artificial intelligence in education. It also seeks to raise awareness of the benefits and challenges of AI, promote its positive impact on learning outcomes and students’ holistic development, and support the formulation of policy recommendations for its responsible and equitable integration, contributing to the digital transformation of education.

The STEMMOS project aims to create an educational program for trainers to teach Earth, Moon & Mars Observation (EMMO) science to students and enhance their STEAM and soft skills. We analyse best practices, enhance trainers knowledge and skills, explore innovative teaching methods, organise training sessions for trainers and pilot programs for student, develop specifications for an experiential space science festival, and ensure program uptake at the European level through targeted sharing of results.

The project A platform for Assessing and Bridging Generative AI and Human Skills in Secondary Education (GenAI4ED)develops a digital platform that evaluates AI-based educational tools and recommends the most suitable options for teachers and students based on defined criteria. It includes pilot testing in schools, where educators and students assess these tools in real classroom settings. Using insights from these experiments and an interdisciplinary team, the project will produce policy recommendations on how to effectively integrate generative AI in education while improving teaching conditions, supporting learning, and addressing workforce impacts in education.

The European ERASMUS+ project INSIGHT seeks to introduce historical scientific instruments into the classroom and learning process through a student-centered, hands-on approach that combines inquiry-based teaching and learning methods, simple materials for student-made instruments, and appropriate digital tools for design and 3D printing. The project has developed a broad and comprehensive educational framework and methodology, which includes training materials for teachers, model lesson plans and applications as well as the relevant scientific context, historical/social background, and instructions for constructing various historical scientific instruments in order to give learners the opportunity to appreciate the value of scientific heritage, while deepening their understanding of scientific concepts and practices and strengthening their basic skills.

The vision of FutureFoodS is to collectively achieve environmentally friendly, socially secure, fair and economically viable healthy and safe Food Systems (FS) for Europe. FutureFoodS gathers 87 partners from 22 EU Member States, 6 Associated Countries and 1 third country. FutureFoodS includes public and private actors, policy makers, foundations, locally, sub-nationally, nationally, EU-widely. All these FutureFoodS partners are fully aligned on the vision for the Partnership and the methodology for its implementation in line with SDG17 and EU Hi Green Deal components. The objectives implemented will exert impact directly or indirectly in most of the destinations of Horizon Europe’s Cluster 6 2023-2024 work programme and particularly for the topic destination ‘Fair, healthy and environment-friendly FS from primary production to consumption’ echoing to the main EU and World FS policies & strategies.

SCOTSS (Space-based innovation and digitalisation for the school of tomorrow) aims to develop a satellite-supported educational platform that combines Earth Observation technologies, satellite navigation, space education and advanced digital infrastructures to create innovative STEM learning experiences. At the same time, the project utilizes Extended Reality (XR) technologies, bringing interactive and immersive learning experiences to remote schools through advanced satellite infrastructures and high-speed 5G connectivity solutions. Through Mars exploration missions, space colony creation activities and nano-satellite assembly tasks, students engage in narrative-driven and collaborative learning environments that foster creativity and inquiry-based learning.
