UPRAISE addresses the growing need for advanced and interdisciplinary digital skills in the emerging Virtual Worlds economy.

The Upraise Project

The project develops innovative education and training programmes that equip current and future professionals with expertise in key technologies such as XR, AI, Digital Twins, blockchain and IoT, while integrating sustainability, ethics and entrepreneurship into digital innovation.

Through modular, personalised and industry-aligned learning pathways, UPRAISE responds to the evolving needs of both the labour market and society.

UPRAISE has received the STEP seal as a high-quality project proposal in a highly competitive evaluation process and contributes to the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) objectives.
