Minds Europe Institute

The Re-Mind Project visual pack is ready! 🎨✨

It may not be an exhibition, but it definitely feels like the first little “showcase” of the RE-MIND spirit.

After many mindful choices our visual identity is ready to step into the world, thanks to our Brainster Next partner!

A small visual pack, but a big first glimpse into what RE-MIND stands for: mindful museums, digital wellbeing, calm technology, and intergenerational engagement.

Introducing AI-TransformED

Minds Europe – Institute for Research Excellence and Technological Advancement is proud to participate in the newly launched Erasmus+ project AI-TransformED – Competences, Culture and Capacities for Generative Artificial Intelligence in Education and Training.

Coordinated by the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, the project was approved under the highly competitive Erasmus+ Forward-Looking Projects call and selected as one of only five funded projects among 215 submitted proposals.

AI-TransformED addresses the rapid transformation of education driven by generative AI. The project will support education and training systems in developing the competences, institutional capacities, and pedagogical approaches needed for responsible and meaningful AI integration.

Minds Europe will contribute its expertise in digital transformation, education, research, AI-related capacity building, and innovative learning approaches.
The project brings together nine partners from Serbia, Poland, Estonia, and Latvia, including higher education institutions, training organisations, and secondary schools.

For Minds Europe, AI-TransformED is an important opportunity to contribute to European efforts to ensure that AI in education is applied responsibly, strategically, and with a clear focus on learning outcomes, human competences, and institutional readiness.

ABCinEnergy joined Together in Action 2026 in Brussels, where citizens, experts, and policymakers discussed climate action and the future of energy 🌱

Together in Action - ABCinEnergy The climate crisis reminds us that the way we produce and consume energy impacts the planet. This theme was central to Together in Action 2026, the annual EU Climate Pact event held in Brussels, which brought together citizens, experts, and policymakers to explore practical, collaborative solutions.

⚠️What if we’re developing the wrong skills in research?

Or supporting the right ones… in the wrong way?

👩‍🔬👨‍🏫 We are looking for honest input from both researchers and mentors.

📊 Through the Horizon Europe SMART Researchers project, we are exploring the gap between:
👉 what really matters
👉 and what is actually supported
👉 Who can participate?
👩‍🔬 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs):
PhD candidates and researchers within 5 years after completing their PhD

👨‍🏫 Mentors & Supervisors:
PhD supervisors, research group leaders, project leaders, and senior researchers supporting ESRs
⏱️ 10–15 minutes
👉 Choose your perspective:

🎯 What Matters vs. What Is Supported in Your Research Journey?

Are you a PhD student or early-stage researcher?

We want to hear your real experience - not what should happen in academia, but what actually happens.
📊 This survey (Horizon Europe SMART Researchers) explores:
● which competencies truly matter
● where support is missing
● how research careers can be improved
⏱️ 10–15 minutes

Today is Earth Day 🌍
Make smarter choices ♻️
ABCinEnergy supports small actions ⚡

🌱 Tomorrow is Earth Day – a moment to reflect on our relationship with the planet and the impact of our everyday choices.

Consuming less is not enough – we need to consume smarter. Energy is not just a resource: it is a key driver of environmental sustainability, economic stability, and our collective future.

At ABCinEnergy, we support students and staff in building better energy habits through awareness and simple actions.

Every small action counts. From switching off unused devices to rethinking daily routines, our individual choices can collectively make a big difference. 🌍

🚨 Big step for education in Europe! The Council of Europe approved a new AI literacy framework 🤖📚

It’s not just about how AI works, but also how it affects people, society, and our daily lives 🌍❤️

👉 The goal is to help everyone use AI safely and responsibly, while projects like Eduaid project are already building these skills in education 🎯

A Milestone for Education in the Digital Age: The Council of Europe Approves a Landmark AI Literacy Framework - EduAId Online Something significant happened in Strasbourg — and every educator, school leader, and education policymaker in Europe should take note.

🚀 What Really Matters in Research Careers?

👩‍🔬👨‍🏫 Whether you are an early-stage researcher or a mentor, your experience matters.
We are exploring a key question:
What competencies truly matter in research—and are they actually supported in practice?
📊 As part of the Horizon Europe SMART Researchers project, we are mapping the gap between expectations and reality in research career development across Europe.
👉 Who is this for?
👩‍🔬 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs): PhD candidates and researchers within 5 years after completing their PhD

👨‍🏫 Mentors & Supervisors: PhD supervisors, research group leaders, project leaders, and senior researchers supporting early-stage researchers

Your input will help:
● identify critical skill gaps
● improve training and mentoring practices
● strengthen research careers and institutional support
