The Erasmus + Project “Open Educational Resources on Enabling Technologies in Wearable and Collaborative Robotics” (WeCoRD) launched under the leadership of OzU as the consortium leader, and Ford Otomotiv Sanayi A.Ş., Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Saint Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, and  Universiteit Twente as the project partners. 

Led by Dr. Barkan Uğurlu, the OzU technical team works on the integration of enabling technologies in wearable robotics with graduate programs and relevant professional education programs in collaboration with the international partners over the course of 36 months. In this context, WeCoRD project aims to enhance the EU higher education capacity in teaching enabling technologies in wearable and collaborative robotics for medical and industrial applications to fill in the skill gap between, on the one hand, the industry and the labor market needs and, on the other hand, the quality, and quantity of the graduates.
