Summary of project results
While we found the administrative processes to be complex compared to those under Horizon Europe, the support from the administrative team was commendable. The ECEH project has yielded positive and promising results. Despite facing challenges such as staff turnover and planning delays, the project successfully adapted and minimized the impact on the final outcome.
The project’s innovative use of software engineering approaches to develop educational content on the ECEH platform was effective. We are satisfied with the project’s implementation, which showcased resilience in overcoming hurdles and successfully involved educators, students, and content creators.
The project’s use of cutting-edge technologies and methodologies positions it at the forefront of educational innovation. To ensure the project’s continued success and maximize its impact, ongoing monitoring and utilization of content creation expertise will be crucial.
