Our projects

Creating a better future through innovative solutions​

Project description

WINDEE focuses on improving well-being for students and teachers in digital learning environments—an often overlooked but crucial area in today’s increasingly digital classrooms.

Funded by Erasmus+ for 36 months, WINDEE brings together eight European partners to gather evidence, create solutions, and test policy changes that enhance digital well-being in education.

The project is developing a comprehensive digital well-being framework that considers:

  • person-specific factors: Digital skills and health considerations
  • context-specific factors: Learning environment, course design and school culture
  • device-specific factors: Types of digital tools and best practices for balanced use

WINDEE will deliver

  • a practical Digital Well-being Framework
  • training materials and courses for teachers
  • a handbook for schools and universities
  • policy recommendations for national and EU policymakers
  • real-world case studies of successful approaches
  • a supportive learning community focused on digital well-being

Through these tools, WINDEE aims to embed digital well-being into educational policies across Europe, ensuring technology enhances rather than hinders learning and overall well-being.

Future Impacts of Modularisation and Micro Credentials on European Higher Education and list of validated scenarios
The MicroHE Delphi study engaged European experts to forecast micro-credentials’ impact on Higher Education Institutions. Three scenarios emerged: wide-scale, partial, or minimal adoption by HEIs. Success depends on overcoming barriers like institutional mistrust, establishing common standards, ensuring technological portability, and fostering collaboration between universities, employers, and policymakers. Key drivers … Read more

Mapping Report – inventory of standards, processes, and ICT systems across Higher Education, European Higher Education Interoperability Framework, 2025
This comprehensive inventory reveals what tools European universities actually use for data sharing. Based on research with 41 university alliances, it catalogues over 100 systems and standards currently in use. The findings expose significant gaps: most institutions build their own solutions because existing tools don’t meet interoperability needs. … Read more
