The fourth ICSE Academy consortium meeting
The fourth ICSE Academy concortium meeting take place online the days 16-18 October. At the ICSE Academy consortium meeting, the partners review several activities that are ongoing in the project. Several activities include cooperation, mobility, and the European dimension as core elements. An important part of the project is the ongoing collecting of information from pre- and in service teachers, during the activities, reflections after the implementation, and answering pre- and post-surveys. The research results will be important information for the main target groups.
