List of Euridice consortium partners
The project is coordinated by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands, which is responsible for overall project management. Universities such as the University of Naples Federico II, University of Innsbruck, Reykjavik University, Palacký University Olomouc, Lusófona University, and Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice focus on the development and implementation of educational programmes. Research centres such as the Fraunhofer Institute and the Icelandic Institute for Intelligent Machines contribute technological innovation and expertise in the analysis of digital competences. Companies such as The Value Engineers, Bolesian, and Babafla provide expertise in artificial intelligence and innovative educational platforms. Cultural institutions, including Kulturveranstaltungen des Bundes in Germany and the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in the Netherlands, help connect education with cultural heritage and digital media. Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in Ukraine and V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University are key partners in Eastern Europe and play an important role in advancing digital education and supporting the academic ecosystem in regions affected by crises.
The consortium also includes institutions outside Europe, namely Universiti Malaysia Sarawak and i-CATS University College in Malaysia and the University for Development Studies in Ghana. Their role is to test and validate educational models in different sociocultural contexts, helping to ensure that the programmes developed within the project can be applied globally.
International cooperation within the EURIDICE project ensures a broad geographical reach, spanning Northern, Southern, and Eastern Europe while also connecting European and non-European education systems. This diversity facilitates the transfer of know-how between highly digitalised countries and regions that are less advanced in their digital transformation. Partnerships with industry and research centres ensure that academic education is closely aligned with the current needs of the labour market.
