The main focus of the meeting was the progress of Work Package 2, dedicated to the production of educational experimental videos for STEM higher education. Project partners presented their first filmed experiments and discussed filming methods, technical workflows, visual standards, subtitles, and the exchange of materials between partner countries. Feedback was provided on video clarity, experiment presentation, accessibility, branding visibility, and overall quality standards.
Participants also reviewed the final version of the project intro/outro design and discussed further development of the project website, including accessibility improvements and dissemination activities. Additional technical agreements included unified video export settings and the use of a common project font to ensure visual consistency across all outputs.
During the second day, partners discussed project quality management procedures, peer-review evaluation of completed videos, and upcoming study visits planned in Poland and Slovakia in 2026. The consortium also addressed dissemination activities, including workshops, seminars, conference participation, scientific publications, and the future launch of the project’s YouTube channel and Moodle platform.
The meeting concluded with discussions regarding the preparation of the first project status report and coordination of upcoming project tasks. The event strengthened cooperation among the partner universities and supported the continued development of innovative experimental teaching materials for higher education.
