The MASTER project is excited to announce the launch of its Second Open Call, inviting educational institutions to shape the future of XR-based learning. Building on the success of the first call, the Second Open Call focuses on validating XR technologies within real educational settings and expanding the library of immersive learning content through the MASTER platform.
MASTER project is an EU-funded project under Horizon Europe programme, that focuses on utilizing Extended Reality (XR) technologies to enhance the teaching and training of robotics in manufacturing by developing an open XR platform. The project integrates key functionalities, creating safe and flexible robotic environments with advanced interaction mechanisms. By establishing an open platform for the creation and management of XR content in robotics, the project ultimately aims to benefit non-expert programmers to create robotic XR educational content.
Open from 7 April to 12 June 2025, this call offers selected applicants financial support of up to €100,000, access to advanced XR tools, and tailored mentorship to design and test educational experiences that push the boundaries of traditional training methods
Eligible applicants for the Second Open Call include educational institutions, University/Research/Education non-profit organizations that provide education and content creation services, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Large companies may also participate, though only in the role of challenge providers. Applicants must be legally established in EU Member States, Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), or countries associated with Horizon Europe.
The Second Open Call represents a valuable opportunity to validate cutting-edge XR technologies in educational or professional training environments, develop innovative educational content to be integrated into the MASTER platform, and receive expert mentoring and support from the MASTER consortium throughout the process.
The OCs has been published in the MASTER portal and in the EU Commission Funding & Tenders Portal. In addition, the project website has a dedicated page for the Open Call, where all the important dates and communications, including the announcement of a webinar.
