Teaching of the GRE@T-PIONEeR courses will be fully online or hybrid (i.e., combination of online and in-person). Specialised facilities allow for both online and physical interactions, such as the hybrid Active Learning Classrooms at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden and at Universitat Politècnica de València, Valencia, Spain. For online learning, a Learning Management System (LMS) is used by the teachers for course delivery and management, providing 24/7 access to all teaching resources.
The courses are free of charge. Nevertheless, if one participates to the interactive sessions in-person, the participants need to cover their travel and accommodation costs.
