Driving Climate Positive Futures (DREAM+PLAN), a truly interdisciplinary, international, and intersectoral PhD program, uniting European and Australian research via 32 doctoral positions, many for double degree. DREAM+PLAN brings together a community of visionary changemakers, leaders, who dream big and develop tangible pathways for solving local and global climate-related challenges, all united by a mission to create a positive impact, towards a more sustainable, fair, inclusive and thriving planet for future generations. The overarching objectives of DREAM+PLAN research training program is to create and deliver, legacy-worthy, novel, cutting-edge, 3i-centric training through best-practice multi-faceted, group and individual training options for DC’s.

The project aims to shed light on the differences in the national regulation of children’s autonomous decisions. There are still considerable differences as to the regulatory approaches and preconditions for autonomous decisions of minors in Europe. The approaches largely foresee autonomy of minors based either on an individual assessment of their capacity to understand or on their age, with context-related differences. In order to understand national approaches, renowned national experts from 11 selected countries will contribute to the project, in addition to the project leaders, by reporting on the legal situation in their respective legal orders. The results will be discussed during the project and made available to the research community.

The IDEA Project focuses on digitalisation and predictive justice, which can be applied in labour law disputes, both in European and national contexts. We aim to develop a digitalised procedure and a platform to address harmonisation across digitalisation and predictive algorithms in access to justice, encompassing interaction with the forthcoming EU legislations on the Digitalisation of judicial operation and access to justice and the AI Act and to verify it together with six judicial authorities and numerous practitioners. This method has an innovative character – combining legal analysis with broad text mining techniques – as it will unravel the concept of predictivity to assess the (in)compatibility with the rule of law in civil law systems.

CREA3 aims to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven tools to assist EU citizens in resolving disputes by applying innovative game theoretical (GT) algorithms. To improve access to justice and interaction with the rule of law, we seek to develop a strategy that addresses harmonisation across digitalisation and predictive algorithms. This approach, which combines legal research with extensive text-mining techniques, is novel since it will explore the idea of testing and evaluating how well family law systems in six EU legislations adhere to the new forthcoming “Regulation on the digitalisation of judicial cooperation and access to justice in cross-border civil, commercial and criminal matters”.

The overall objective of the EquiTech project is to increase the capacity of Estonian and Lithuanian authorities to address risks of bias and discrimination in ADM procedures. This will be achieved through the development of research, support materials, training and a media campaign. This will be achieved as follows: 1. A desk study addressing gaps in the Estonian and Lithuanian policy and legal frameworks on AI, together with a mapping of potential risks of discrimination and bias in ADM systems used by Estonian authorities. 2. Developing practical tools to prevent potential risks of discrimination and bias in the design and implementation of ADM systems; 3. Improving the skills and knowledge of users and developers of ADM systems through training, study tours, an international conference and academic webinars; 4. Raising public awareness of the risks of discrimination and bias in public sector ADM systems. As a result, we will reduce the potential for discrimination and prejudice in the Estonian and Lithuanian ADM systems and set an example for other Member States by contributing to national anti-racism action plans and strategies against anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim hatred and xenophobia, LGBTIQphobia and all other forms of intolerance.

The DEUCE Project aims at better enforcement of judicial decisions (judgments, authentic instruments, and court settlements) issued in the context of cross-border pecuniary claims. It particularly focuses on the creation of a Roadmap of the 26 EU Member

The general objective of this project is to create an "umbrella architecture" based on existing EBSI services. The architecture builds the basis for the realization of traceability application scenarios. Furthermore, TRACE4EU focuses on engagement with pan-European stakeholders and promotion of recommendations for further development of the EBSI eco-system.

The project aims at validating the contemplated objectives and operation model of the Copyright Infrastructure Task Force (CITF) at hand of components of the AI and Copyright Use Case, and paving the way for the CITF to potentially become a Use Case Group of the Europeum EDIC, focusing on the interoperability and trustworthiness of rights data exchanged between rightsholders and rights users as well as among rightsholders.

The project aim is to build competencies in digital transformation for higher education institutions in Southeast Asia by developing digital strategic plan, improve the quality of learning and teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches for digital learning.

SMART-PL is a 3-year project, focused on introducing a model of personalised learning, based on the virtual learning environment of Intellectual Tutoring "Learning with No Limits". Intellectual tutoring is a set of learning tools: SMART online platform for virtual personalised learning and formative student assessment; сo-working centre with equipment for organising hybrid learning, which increases the educational process's efficiency and gives both teachers and students more opportunities.

MOVEx is a 3-year project, focused on organizing an effective Virtual Exchange Program as a platform for professional and intercultural interaction, exchange of experience, to ensure high-quality educational services

The main scope of the activities to be undertaken during the project covers capacity-building initiatives in selected higher education institutions with the main goal to improve and harmonize understanding as well as practice of entrepreneurial mindset, innovative talent and high-impact expertise.

The main research field of the project is implementation of Smart-contract Blockchain Technology.
