SPARK Lab is a high-performance, four-day intensive workshop hosted by the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). Designed to bridge the gap between digital design and real-world implementation, the programme moves validated engineering concepts from the screen to the factory and workshop floor. During this onsite phase, students will combine hands-on engineering practice with the study…
This is not just a passive series of theoretical lectures. SPARK Core is an interactive, challenge-based learning experience. From day one, you will be placed into cross-border international teams working in a collaborative digital ecosystem. Together, you will solve engineering problems, share data, and co-design real components. You will learn to manage digital fatigue and team workload under professional Product Lifecycle…
Building a Lifestyle and Networking Campus (BALANCE) introduces the concept of sustainable performance and how it depends on the effective management of fundamental human resources. Just as engineering systems operate within defined physical and operational limits, students also function within physiological and cognitive boundaries that influence their ability to concentrate, collaborate and perform efficiently under…
SPARK, Sustainable Performance Training for Future Engineers: Integrating Wellbeing, Simulation and Collaborative Innovation is an international educational initiative jointly organized by Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM, Spain), POLITEHNICA Bucharest (Romania), and Istanbul Technical University (Turkey). Open to students from all universities within the EELISA alliance, the program offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection…
