Key Objectives of the Eco Minds Project
The project aims to pursue three specific objectives.

Secondly, the project is committed to building digital and green skills among undergraduate students, with the goal of enhancing their employability through active collaboration with the business sector. Finally, it strives to make higher education more accessible and inclusive, particularly for diverse student groups, thus promoting equal opportunities and broadening participation across the sector.
