Months 1–36 | Leads: Heimerer College + European University of TiranaWP1 ensures the project is delivered on time, on budget, and with high quality. It coordinates partners, manages reporting and governance (including a Steering Committee), and applies a clear quality assurance system. This work package also tracks progress through monitoring tools, evaluation templates, and internal/external quality checks—so project activities and outputs stay consistent, measurable, and aligned with Erasmus+ requirements.
Months 1–10 | Leads: Western Balkan University + Albanian Order of NursesWP2 builds the evidence base for the entire project. It maps best practices in Virtual Learning and VR-based education, benchmarks EU experience, and updates institutional needs assessments in Kosovo and Albania. Through desk research, surveys, interviews, and an international forum, this WP defines what is needed for successful VR integration and produces practical recommendations and a roadmap for implementation.Key focus: research • benchmarking • stakeholder input • needs assessment • international forum
Months 7–15 | Lead: Savonia University of Applied SciencesWP3 produces a practical “how-to model” for integrating Virtual Reality into health studies. It translates research findings into clear guidance on pedagogy, infrastructure, implementation steps, and institutional readiness. The guidelines are refined using partner feedback and stakeholder input, then translated into local languages to support adoption across institutions and to enable replication beyond the consortium.Key focus: VR integration model • implementation guidance • stakeholder validation • translation
Months 12–20 | Lead: Lithuanian University of Health SciencesWP4 turns plans into reality by establishing the VR learning environment in partner institutions. It finalises technical needs, supports procurement, and documents the lab setup (hardware, software, layouts). This WP also develops training materials and delivers hands-on capacity building for academic and technical staff, ensuring partner institutions can operate the labs and use VR effectively for teaching and assessment.Key focus: VR labs setup • equipment/software • lab documentation • staff training • localisation
Months 20–35 | Lead: Universidad Católica de ValenciaWP5 integrates VR into real teaching practice. It identifies effective simulation-based learning methods, explores suitable VR solutions for health education, and produces user guides and training resources (including online learning components). A Curriculum Review Committee supports course selection and syllabus updates. Updated courses are then piloted for a semester, allowing partners to evaluate impact and refine long-term integration.Key focus: curriculum updates • teaching methodology • user guides • staff training • pilot semester
Months 1–36 | Leads: Universum College + Hospital Fati ImWP6 ensures M3DTech stays visible and creates impact beyond the project partners. It delivers the communication strategy, project visual identity, website and social media presence, newsletters, publications, and dissemination events—culminating in a final conference. This WP also supports sustainability by promoting long-term use of outputs, stakeholder engagement, and continued collaboration between higher education and healthcare sectors.Key focus: website & media • events • publications • stakeholder outreach • sustainability planning
