The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) hosted the Wenus project kick-off meeting, held in Karlsruhe, Germany.

At the meeting partners from InnoRenew CoE, Technological Centre for Furniture and Wood of the Region of Murcia, Globalnet, and KIT – the leading partner – presented and discussed about each work package and started working on the first project tasks.
The WENUS project is an Erasmus+ project, aiming to enhance Vocational Education and Training in sustainable wood and timber construction by integrating circular economy principles and 3D printing technologies into the curriculum, addressing the industry’s evolving needs for green and digital skills, and promoting innovation, sustainability, and efficiency.
Project partners will create a student-centred curriculum that integrates circular economy principles into timber construction, coupled with tailored training content featuring 3D printing exercises. Additionally, an eLearning platform will be launched, to broaden access and enrich vocational training with essential green and digital skills, thereby fostering greater sustainability and innovation within the sector.
