ICT-INOV develops laboratories in 8 universities in Asia, builds digital collaborative learning services for promoting innovative thinking, develops structured digital learning activities available for direct deployment or for use as inspiration for the design of new ones, and promotes a community of good practice on innovation skill development through instructor training and other events.
The project is implemented from 2021 to 2024.
