In the first two (14-day) ones the students & educators from one teaching university will travel to the other and vice-versa, to participate in the large-scale laboratories, whereas the 3rd period (1 month) is reserved for the on-the-job training. Although the course will be taught in English, local language lessons will be provided to enable the participants to immerge in the local culture during mobilities. The course will be open for participation for anyone with a basic civil, electrical, software or mechanical technical background. Priority will be given according to their academic performance.
