SimLab — Online labs and virtual simulators for engineering education
Project reference: 2015-1-EE01-KA202-013471
Period: September 2015 – ongoing follow-up via Erasmus+ and partner resources
SimLab offers an online lab platform combined with curriculum modules and open learning content for educational institutions. The platform integrates existing and new remote and virtual labs into one portal with a unified interface, enabling cross-platform access to labs hosted at institutions and SMEs across Europe.
The project addresses digital integration in learning, supports teachers in using ICT for learning, and enables shared access to expensive laboratory equipment. Follow-up development continues in subsequent Erasmus+ projects.
