Student mobility and a pilot teaching week at KU Leuven, Campus De Nayer (Belgium), within the framework of the Erasmus+ ComplIT project.

Within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 project ComplIT, a pilot teaching week was successfully implemented at KU Leuven, Campus De Nayer (Belgium) from 23 to 27 March 2026. The mobility involved three students, including Garik Dallakyan, Vahe Ghazaryan and Astghik Arustamyan, who represented GSU in this international academic initiative.

The programme was delivered as a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) worth 3 ECTS credits, integrating online preparation, physical mobility, and follow-up assignments. Prior to the mobility, students participated in an online welcome/start seminar on 23 February 2026, accessed programme materials via the official website, and completed preparatory tasks. These included reading assigned literature (e.g., Factfulness), collecting personal energy consumption data, and completing a team roles test, which supported the formation of effective international teams.

During the mobility week, students engaged in an intensive interdisciplinary programme focused on sustainable energy systems, energy transition challenges, and data-informed decision-making. The academic component featured expert-led seminars on renewable energy integration, grid stability, decarbonization of industry, offshore energy, and digital twins. In parallel, students developed soft skills through workshops on teamwork, creativity, and pitching.

Participants worked in multinational teams composed of students from partner universities (Belgium, Spain, Germany, Portugal, and Ukraine). The central assignment required teams to collaboratively design an educational board game prototype aimed at communicating complex energy-related concepts to a broader audience. This culminated in a group pitch presentation, which was evaluated by an international jury, alongside peer assessment.

In addition to the presentation, students will submitt a comprehensive group report including policy recommendations in the field of sustainable energy, as well as individual reflections on team dynamics based on daily scrum activities. The final reports will be submitted by 14 May 2026.

Overall, the mobility provided a valuable opportunity for students to enhance their intercultural competence, collaborative problem-solving skills, and applied knowledge in sustainability, while actively contributing to an innovative, project-based international learning environment.

On March 26, the regular meeting of the project management board took place, during which the current phase of the project, the work carried out, upcoming tasks, as well as financial and technical issues were discussed.
