Current Projects from A to Z

Our research activities and fields are based on the defined objectives of the respective projects. We are currently working on the following projects:

• The e-learning working group is a scientific committee that supports universities in Saxony in pooling and jointly developing their potential in the field of e-learning
• The aim of the Trainer Community project is to create a community that offers individual support in the training process through personal and digital networking

• Close the Gap - CtG-MigHa: AI-supported advisory and educational services for immigrants to close the gap between language or orientation courses and training or employment to qualify for the retail labor market.

• In the COWEB project (Promoting and Facilitating Collaborative Virtual International Learning in the Western Balkans Higher Education Institutions), innovative teaching and learning formats for Virtual Collaborative Learning (VCL) are being developed and implemented. The aim is to support higher education institutions in the Western Balkans in establishing international virtual cooperation, integrating digital teaching/learning formats and promoting digital and intercultural skills among students.

• ELMeKS.digital: Entry-level solutions for teacher training in media skills development in Saxony with a focus on the fields of social pedagogy, health and care and physiotherapy.

• Hy-PER: The aim of the project as part of the DAAD program "Higher Education Dialogue with the Western Balkans" is to strengthen structured scientific exchange and capacity building between TU Dresden and EPOKA University (Albania). The focus is on the joint development of hybrid teaching and learning formats, especially for doctoral student training, as well as the promotion of international scientific cooperation and networking.

• The aim of the InfraSax.KI project supported by the SMWK is the legally compliant, data protection-compliant and technically stable provision of AI-supported teaching and learning tools for all Saxon universities. Building on the results of previous innovation projects, a holistic approach takes into account didactic, technical and legal requirements in order to create scalable solutions that can be used in the long term. A particular focus is on intelligent, didactically designable AI assistance systems.

• The Johanna project aims to develop and scientifically test a hybrid advisory approach for rural areas. By dovetailing digital and personal formats, the aim is to sustainably strengthen support structures in the care context and promote self-determined ageing.

• In the research and development project K.I.S.S. (Competence. Innovation. Safety. Radiation protection. Efficient Dismantling and Approval Management), coordinated and interlinked digital and AI-supported solutions for knowledge and project management for the dismantling of nuclear facilities are being developed and tested.

• Kraft-Copilot - A learning and networking platform to promote the health skills of young informal carers

• The LemaS transfer to the school landscape project involves the consolidation and further dissemination of the results from the first funding phase of the research and school development project. The digitalization of the LemaS content is a central area of work. A digital distribution platform is being developed for the sustainable and target group-oriented use of LemaS products and professionalization offers.

• MetaHeritage: Through networking, innovation ecosystems and metaverse technologies, cultural heritage in less developed regions is made more visible, sustainable tourism is promoted and new business models are established.

• Schoolwise: The aim of the Schoolwise project is to develop an integrated framework for the responsible use of data in primary and secondary schools. This involves developing and testing models for educational data literacy, ethical governance structures and practical tools for data-supported school and lesson development.

• The SMART Innovation Centers (SMART Innovation for Next Generation) project aims to support universities in the Western Balkans in strengthening their role as active stakeholders in regional innovation ecosystems. The development of new teaching modules on smart specialization, the qualification of university staff and the establishment of seven SMART Innovation Centres will promote cooperation between universities, business and society.
