Augmented Reality is the future, everyone agrees, but do you really know what it takes to create Augmented Reality applications? In this one day public event, experts invited by the AR-FOR-EU project provide a briefing about future ‘maker skills’ needed in the field of Augmented Reality.

At the event, the Eramus+ strategic partnership will inform about required knowledge, skills, and competences, learning methods, key learning outcomes, performance levels, and assessment criteria, filling the gap between formal education and the workplace.

Some words about us

The Augmented Reality in Formal European University Education (AR-FOR-EU) project

The Augmented Reality in Formal European University Education (AR-FOR-EU) project will establish and deepen a strategic partnership for teaching Augmented Reality in Higher Education at scale on an undergraduate and graduate levels. AR-FOR-EU brings together five internationally renowned institutions to reflect their research, development and teaching expertise into a validated course offer of excellence, extended with rich and professionally produced open course materials.

AR-FOR-EU will help improve quality of educational programs by creating a new offer in an area conducive to Europe’s global competitiveness, with technology uptake already showing positive effects in a variety of industrial fields. It will do so by collecting expertise at the European and international level to create a foundation for teaching Augmented Reality in formal education, preparing professionals for the industries of tomorrow and contributing to making European economies more research-driven, knowledge-based, and competitive.
