Istanbul Technical University (ITU) carries out activities for the development of research-based learning with the mission of transforming the future. In this context, ITU also leads the research-based learning activities pursued by EELISA. Together with EELISA partners SSSA and SNS, ITU held the 2nd EELISA Research-Based Learning (RBL) Symposium in Pisa, Italy, on May 17-19.

EELISA Scientific Student Competition was held simultaneously with the symposium. The competition was held under the headings including social sciences, smart materials and production, informatics, architecture, medicine, applied sciences, chemical and bioengineering, and built environment.

ITU faculty members made presentations on various topics focusing on research-based learning such as model-based design and digital twin technologies, possibilities and challenges for interdisciplinary learning and collaboration in engineering and social sciences. ITU students had the opportunity to share their EELISA experiences with the participants. The symposium ended with the award ceremony and closing speeches.
