History at UM and Library Information & Archive Sciences at UM

The Erasmus+ SUMED project has officially concluded after three years dedicated to making media education more sustainable and socially responsible. Led by INNOCAMP.PL and involving partners from Poland, Finland, Malta and Spain, the project introduced new training, curricula and five open-access MOOCs focused on sustainable media practice. The final meeting was held at the University of Gdańsk in October 2025, with all project resources remaining accessible through the SUMED knowledge repository until April 2028.
