CARNET's projects were presented by Gordana Jugo, Head of the Department for Educational Technologies, who emphasized that CARNET actively promotes the digital transformation of the educational system in Croatia through these projects. The e-University project is focused on the digital transformation of higher education in Croatia through the improvement of digital infrastructure, the introduction of digital teaching tools, and the strengthening of teachers' digital competencies for working in a digital environment. On the other hand, the BrAIn project aims to improve the quality of the educational process and extend the time students actively spend learning by integrating digital technologies. This project enables a personalized approach to learning, curriculum development, and the creation of digital educational content in the field of new technologies.
Following the presentation, a dynamic discussion ensued on topics relevant to CARNET and similar strategic projects. Key issues addressed included project sustainability, encouraging teachers to create and share digital educational content, and data protection and privacy.
