🚀 A week full of innovation and collaboration has come to a successful close!

The intensive training week of the "Internet of Things (IoT): Smart Applications" programme was held in Limassol, Cyprus, from November 24 to 28, 2025. Hosted by the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT), the programme brought together 40 students from Cyprus, Italy, Romania, and Spain. 🎓

Participants worked in teams to develop their own IoT applications for Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) monitoring, moving from hardware and sensors all the way to cloud data processing. 💡📡

An unforgettable experience of learning, experimentation, and cross-border collaboration!

🇪🇺✨ A successful gathering of European student voices!
The EUt+ Student Board proudly took part in the European Universities Student Ambassadors’ Forum (EUSAF) 2025 in Warsaw, Poland (Sept 4–6). 🎓💬
Our representative Tilmann Eckert joined student ambassadors from alliances across Europe to exchange ideas on the future of higher education, student engagement, and democratic representation within European University Alliances.
🎯 Our highlights:
🗣️ Tilmann shared EUt+ best practices during poster & panel sessions
