SUMMARY:Inclusive Metaverse Co-creation Lab
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Are you interested in digital accessibility, virtual reality, and social impact? Do you want to contribute to a world without barriers? The “Inclusive Metaverse: Accessible VR Solutions for Physically Disabled Individuals” Co-creation Lab invites undergraduate, Master, and PhD students from all EELISA partner institutions to design and prototype adaptive Virtual Reality (VR) interfaces based on “Universal Design” principles.\nFollowing the Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) framework, this student-led initiative aims to eliminate digital accessibility barriers for individuals with physical disabilities while addressing UN SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). In this context, students will collaborate in specialized topic-related working groups\n1. 3D Hardware Design: Ergonomic 3D modeling and physical prototyping of adaptive controllers.\n2. Sensor & Interface Engineering: Integration of eye-tracking, cameras, and motion sensors.\n3. Software & Systems Development: Coding the metaverse environment and developing fluid motion algorithms.\n4. Strategy & Inclusion Policy: Drafting a Manifesto for Inclusivity evaluating ethical and social sustainability.\n \nProgramme Structure\n– Phase 1: Online Pre-Study (August 2026): A 1-month online preparatory phase on MS Teams/EELISA Digital Campus to align on technical requirements, undergo foundational training, and form cross-campus networks.\n– Phase 2: Technical Co-creation (8-11 September 2026): A 4-day intensive, hands-on prototyping and strategy phase at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Maslak Campus, Türkiye.\n \nWho Can Apply?\nThis activity is open to all undergraduate, Master, and PhD students across all disciplines from EELISA partner universities.  No prior technical or coding knowledge is required! We value your passion, interest, and motivation over technical background. Disciplinary diversity is highly encouraged.\n \n Benefits & Funding\n– ECTS & Credentials: Successful participants will be awarded 1 ECTS credit and official EELISA Credentials\n– Mobility Funding: Funding and financial support are available for selected student mobilities to cover travel and accommodation.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=””]\nWHEN\nPreparation phase – from 1 to 30 August, 2026\nMetaverse Co- Creation lab from 8 to 22 September, 2026\n \nWHERE\nOnline during August\nOnsite in Istanbul from 8 to 11 September\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”45″][vc_btn title=”LEARN MORE AND APPLY VIA EELISA DIGITAL CAMPUS” style=”flat” color=”black” align=”center” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fdigitalcampus.eelisa.eu%2Factivities%2F19561aa0-71b8-4262-8daa-ac248675d772|target:_blank”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_empty_space height=”45″][vc_btn title=”COMPLETE YOUR REGISTRATION THROUGH THIS FORM” style=”flat” color=”black” align=”center” css=”” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fforms%2Fd%2Fe%2F1FAIpQLSdvbYtxPc_PbcuOT2VYxsgn0mNMu2ZAIIWWewV0LgpGB0YsBA%2Fviewform|target:_blank”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_message message_box_color=”warning”]This initiative has been funded through the EELISA Joint Call 7[/vc_message][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
