Within the project 21-COP-0019 – EMERALD, funded by Norwegian grants, at the University
of Agder (Grimstad, Norway) it was organized the international summer school entitled “Virtual elearning Platform Experience in Bio-mechatronics”. 40 participants (professors, researchers, and
students) coming both from the EMERALD project consortium (Technical University of Cluj-Napoca
(Romania) – as the leading institution of the EMERALD project, University Politehnica of Bucharest
(Romania), Poznan University of Technology (Poland) and the BIZZCOM s.r.o. company from
Slovakia) and outside the EMERALD project consortium (participants from Latvia and Sweden) have
attended to this significant event. The main objective of the event was to share knowledge and
best practices in the field of VR, AR and Mixed Reality applications, these applications being
intended to be integrated within the e-learning platform that has been developed in the frame of
the 21-COP-0019 – EMERALD project. The e-learning platform that has been developed aims to
provide to those who are interested the knowledge and skills that are necessary for the developing,
manufacturing and testing of bio-mechatronic systems for people with special needs (amputated
arms) that can be made using modern manufacturing methods such as 3D printing technologies.
