ide3a stands for [i]nternational alliance for [d]igital [e]-learning, [e]-mobility and [e]-research in [a]cademia and is funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). As a collaborative project in the higher education sector it involves a multidisciplinary and international consortium of five European partner universities, led by Technische Universität Berlin and including the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Politecnico di Milano, Cracow University of Technology and Dublin City University.

The pilot project ide3a aims to help TU Berlin and its partners on the road to internationalisation and digitalisation of teaching and administration. To achieve that we develop a virtual campus where technologies for e-learning, e-research and e-mobility are integrated with two specific objectives. First, ide3a aims to implement the interdisciplinary topic of “Critical Infrastructure & Digitalisation’’ in traditional study programs using blended-learning formats. Second, the ide3a university network aims to create a fully digitalised management of both shortterm and long-term student and staff mobility. Ide3a wants to serve as a blueprint for joint teaching in an international context and blended learning in Germany.
