THE FIRST EELISA RESEARCH-BASED LEARNING (RBL) SYMPOSIUM
BRINGS EXPERTS, STUDENTS, ACADEMICIANS,
NGO's AND BUSINESSES TOGETHER
AT ITU

Students now directly engage in research to find innovative solutions to real-world challenges and Sustainable Development Goals Engineering Education for Real-world Challenges with Research-based Learning.
