Shaping Higher Education Program Delivery

Welcome to the MaDE-for-UASs Project Website
MaDE-for-UASs—Methodology and Didactic Education for Universities of Applied Sciences—is a bold, three-year collaboration (2024-2027), funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme, aimed at revolutionizing higher education in Ethiopia.
 
The project is dedicated to bridging the gap between academia and industry by equipping 3,000 lecturers with practical skills and innovative teaching methods, including the use of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and simulations.
 
Led by a consortium of Ethiopian and European partners, we are establishing MaDE Centers, developing modern curricula, and fostering strong industry partnerships to ensure sustainable impact and produce graduates ready for the world of work.
