Sign up FOR OUR 2025 COURSES

Teaching of the GRE@T-PIONEeR courses are 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 the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, Hungary.

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.

COURSES

The planned dates for the interactive sessions are listed below.

The participants to the interactive sessions are expected to complete some preparatory amounting to ca. 40 hours of self-studying prior to the interactive sessions.
