ReadLab

Strategic alignment meets hands-on innovation!

The ReadLab team has just wrapped up an intensive and highly productive two days at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) for the 3rd WARP Project Transnational Meeting.
As a partner dedicated to driving research, innovation, and educational development, these meetings are where project frameworks turn into real-world impact for the green and digital dual transition in VET education.

The most appealing part was stepping out of the conference room and into the field! Visiting the NTUA Unit of Environmental Science and Technology laboratories gave our data-driven work a profound sense of purpose.

ReadLab, then, proudly led the final technical sessions focusing on strict quality assurance frameworks and continuous reporting to ensure our upcoming deliverables achieve the highest standards.

A massive thank you to our hosts at NTUA and to the entire consortium for the incredible energy. The roadmap for the next phase is officially locked in!

✨ TPM Flashback: MAGNETISE in Durban, South Africa

On 18-20 February 2026, the MAGNETISE consortium gathered in Durban, South Africa, for the project’s face-to-face Kick-off Meeting.

MAGNETISE is a three-year initiative designed to assist Higher Education Institutions across Sub-Saharan Africa in formulating and implementing gender equality policies. The project unites five African universities and four European partner institutions.

During this three-day meeting, MAGNETISE partners reflected on gender inequality in higher education, discussed institutional transformation, and agreed on the next steps for developing Gender Equality Plans and capacity-building activities. The meeting also highlighted the importance of inclusive leadership, data-driven reform, gender-responsive policies, and shared responsibility in mainstreaming gender equality across Sub-Saharan African academia. The program concluded with a cultural study tour celebrating South African heritage.

As ReadLab, we are proud for contributing to this important initiative alongside our partners and in supporting gender equality in South African and Ugandan universities.

A special thank you to the Centre for Success in SciencUniversity of KwaZulu-Natal for hosting the informative sessions & study tour and for their coordination throughout the project implementation.
