From 12 to 16 January 2026, Riga Technical University hosted the DIGITRANS Student School, an intensive international training event organised within the ERASMUS+ CBHE project DIGITRANS. The School brought together students from partner universities in Ukraine and Moldova for a week of hands-on learning, teamwork, and innovation.
The programme combined interactive lectures, laboratory work, site visits, and project-based activities, allowing students to explore key topics of modern engineering education. Core areas included digital transformation in engineering, programmable logic and embedded systems, cybersecurity and digital resilience, robotics and automation, energy-efficient technologies, intelligent transportation systems, and electric mobility. Special attention was given to digital soft skills, teamwork, and innovation-oriented thinking.
A strong practical focus distinguished the School. Students worked in international teams to develop prototype solutions, participated in laboratory sessions with advanced equipment, visited innovation environments and received coaching on pitching and presenting their ideas. The programme concluded with a Student Pitch Session, where teams presented and defended their innovative projects.
Overall, the DIGITRANS Student School provided students with valuable technical knowledge, practical experience, and international collaboration opportunities, supporting their readiness for digitally driven engineering careers and reinforcing the project’s goals of modern, industry-relevant education.
