At the Fourth International Conference on Innovations in Computing Research (ICR’25), held in London, UK (August 25–27, 2025), Sandi Ljubic from University of Rijeka actively contributed to the program through a paper presentation, session chairing, and by serving as a panelist in the panel discussion Emerging Trends in Computer Science and Computer Engineering Education.

Within the panel discussion, particular attention was given to the transformative role of Mixed Reality technologies in shaping the future of engineering education. Sandi Ljubic highlighted how ongoing efforts within the Erasmus+ TRAINEE project explore the integration of immersive technologies to enhance training, experiential learning, and innovation in curricula. Alongside this, the potential of Large Language Models (LLMs) was also addressed as a complementary technology supporting educational advancement.

The University of Malta team was proud to present the Trainee project at the Faculty of Engineering Exhibition, held from 20–22 June 2025.

It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the project to graduating students from the University of Malta, as well as to key stakeholders from the engineering community.

A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand and showed interest in our work!

As part of the Erasmus+ TRAINEE dissemination activities, the project was presented on the sidelines of the 48th ICT and Electronics Convention – MIPRO 2025, held in Opatija, Croatia.

Engaging conversations unfolded with participants interested in the use of Mixed Reality in engineering education, exploring ideas around immersive learning, training through simulation, and innovation in educational practice.

These informal exchanges contribute to shaping new perspectives on how immersive technologies can support skills development and experiential learning in line with the TRAINEE’s goals. 🚀

The TRAINEE project was proudly showcased at the Enterprise Europe Network - Malta Enterprise Innovation Conference on 9th April, 2025.

This event brought together key stakeholders focused on building a more sustainable and human-centric industry, making it the perfect platform to present TRAINEE’s mission of enhancing training for tomorrow’s workforce.

TRAINEE project had a fantastic and productive in-person kickoff last week (January 23rd & 24th). It was a pleasure to gather in Malta for the first in-person meeting with our esteemed consortium partners:

Last month, we had the pleasure of hosting the first online meeting to officially kick off TRAINEE – Advanced MR Training for Human-Centric Production Empowering Engineering Talent.

This project, funded by ERASMUS+, marks an exciting research journey focused on leveraging Mixed Reality (MR) technology to revolutionize engineering education and training.

🚀 A Milestone Achievement for Project TRAINEE!

We’re thrilled to announce that Project TRAINEE – Advanced MR Training for Human-Centric Production Empowering Engineering Talent has officially kicked off!
