The Education Lab is the place where the future of lifelong learning is taking shape. The lab focuses on innovative teaching and professional education. By combining technology, science and practice, we contribute to the development of innovative solutions that transform the way we learn.
The Education Lab targets all levels of education, from primary education to vocational schools, colleges and universities. Here, experts develop tools such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to innovate learning methods and improve learning effects. One example is research on the effectiveness of VR training compared to traditional SIM training, as applied to Air Force pilots. Work is also underway on AI solutions, such as a personal virtual assistant that supports students in planning and coaching.
The lab also offers groundbreaking opportunities for professionals. Consider technologies for in-service and retraining, such as on-the-job training with AR solutions, language learning for newcomers and remote assistance. The lab is exploring how these applications can enrich the learning experience and transfer skills more effectively.
By 2025, MindLabs will open a state-of-the-art simulation environment for education and professional learning. This space will allow schools and organizations to simulate realistic learning scenarios and experiment with innovative methods while measuring impact and effectiveness.
At the Education Lab, we combine technology and education to make learning more accessible, efficient and inspiring for everyone. Together with our partners, we are creating a future where innovation is the key to success.
