Elegant consortium successfully delivered another staff and curriculum development workshop. Four academic staff from Staffordshire University provided intensive training in "Internet of Things, AI and Cybersecurity" from 10-14 June, 2022, in the United Kingdom. 

​

​This workshop was attended by a group of nine dedicated participants from Jordanian and Lebanese universities. The event was one of the instrumental components of the Elegant project (Activity 3.1). Over the course of these five days, participants, together with ten academic staff from SU, delved deeply into the realms of Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Cybersecurity and explored the current state of knowledge in these areas.

 

The workshop provided invaluable insights, fostering a collaborative environment wherein theoretical knowledge was translated into practical skills, thereby equipping our participants with the expertise needed to prepare their students for the dynamic landscape of today's job market. Employability skills of graduates, developed during the teaching of these subjects, was one of the focal points of the workshop.

 

We extend our gratitude to all participants, instructors, and Staffordshire University for making this workshop an exemplary success, further reinforcing our commitment to advancing graduate employability as we continue our journey to bridge academia and industry.
