CiSTEM², aims to immerse student STEM teachers in interdisciplinary cooperation, problem solving, and creative inquiry and design via online and blended learning opportunities. 

On 14/06/22-16/06/22 we had the pleasure of hosting the training for the platform we developed for the project.

We presented and got familiar with the platform the first day and for the next days we had a very interesting workshop where all the partners had the chance to work together on a real life scenario and watching the platform come to life.

It was three hard working days but for sure they paid off!

The intensive student training for the Erasmus+ project JobJo, continues with the 15 students from Jordan participating and attending a variety of interesting activities. On Friday the students got to visit the UCY Recording Studio and the team of experts there explained to them the procedure for recording videos: where to stand, how cameras and microphones work, where they can read their words from, and so on. They also attended two very interesting lectures by Dr Constantinos Tsouris and Aggeliki Tziongkourou. All the above in the preparation for creating their own video CVs, presenting themselves.

On June 21st-22nd our lab participated in the final TPM meeting of the Erasmus+ project, TOOLS. The meeting took place in Opole, Poland. Partners discussed about the last tasks needed to be completed by the end of project.

Feelings were mixed from the whole consortium as we come to the end of a successful and such a good collaboration, resulting in a complete and accurate project.

SEIT, UCY is hosting a two week intensive student training for the project JobJo. 15 students from Universities from Jordan are visiting and following the training.
In the first two days (22&23 of June), Dr. Thomas Fotiades gave a lecture about Useful Digital Tools. He explained how to create a google form, its usefulness, as well as ways and aims of creating a survey evaluation, and how to analyse the collected results.
Evangelia Vanezi gave a lecture about Secure web browsing and Privacy. She presented a brief summary of the main dangers when browsing the web or communicating via emails and then concentrated on the Phishing attack. A case study of such an attack was demonstrated in the lecture. Privacy was discussed through the provisions and rights of the GDPR.
As an assignment, the students had to create a google form survey, gather some data and present them, as well as investigate and present a phishing attack case study.

The students completed and presented their assignments and projects successfully. The two-day session was completed with the Certificates that were given to all participants.

SEIT Research Laboratory (Software Engineering and Internet Technologies Laboratory) of the Computer Science department of the University of Cyprus participates in the Digi-Sporting project, started in September 2019, with a duration of 30 months.

Digi-Sporting funded through the Erasmus + KA203 – Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education Call 2019, aims to develop a guide of good practices for the effective incorporation of technology in sports clubs and academies, as well as the creation of a competitive profile of Sports Technologist and a postgraduate training package. The project code is 2019-1-ES01-KA203-06550

What is DIGI-SPORTING general aim?

Creating, developing and transferring the professional profile of technologist-analyst (postgraduate training – higher degree) in the field of sports sciences with the aim that sport academies and clubs can fully explore the opportunities offered by digital transformation.

What are DIGI-SPORTING specific aims?

• Address the need to break the barriers of fear of technology and the change that the introduction of new IT tools may imply.
• Expand the training offer in technological skills in the world of sports, for personal and professional performance, tackling skills gaps and mismatches to avoid wasting much of the potential and possibilities offered by the digital transformation.
• Create educational contents, by promoting interdisciplinary cooperation in technology and sports science, that can be adapted to different job positions, so that everyone learns what their professional profiles need, in order to foster employability.

The consortium for this project is made up of nine organizations that will ensure the quality of the project in all its phases, assuming roles in the analysis of the environment, fieldwork, training, technological development or dissemination of the activities.

Check out post about Digi-Sporting Project where our Lab participates!A TPM and a multiplier event was organized in Toledo, Spain from 2/6/2022-3/6/2022 where our lab was physically present.

Our lab participated in another physical meeting about the EU funded Erasmus+ project, Dig-IT on 31/05/2022 – 01/06/2022! This was the last TPM meeting and took place at L-Università ta’ Malta.

Dig-IT is a project that explore how EU universities, and the healthcare industry can collaborate to benefit from international networks that support educators to develop confidence and skills to use emerging technologies to enhance learning opportunities.

In the meeting, partners discussed the last tasks needed to completed and about future work since we are approaching the end of the project!

We are responsible for the technical part of the project! We created certificates for users when they answer the questionnaire. There are 4 certificates depending on the user’s score in the questionnaire. The blue one is for users with score less than 15.5, bronze for score higher than 15.5 and lower than 27 points, silver for score higher than 27 and lower than 43 and gold for score higher than 43. Below you can see what the gold certificate looks like.

The European project EPSILON – European Platform for Data Science: Incubation, Learning, Operations and Network, held its Kick-Off Translational Project Meeting online on the 28th of April, 2022.

It was a very productive meeting for the #ErasmusPlus #EPSILON project, where the SEIT Lab as a partner of the project, participated successfully. The SEIT Lab’s team (UCY) was represented by Evangelia Vanezi , Christos Mettouris, Katerina Petsa and Maria Anastasiou
