The main objective will be to promote the use of virtual welding stations at institutions providing welding education. The use of these virtual welding systems is expected to contribute to reducing costs of welding training, while also ensuring safer and cleaner learning conditions.
The main beneficiaries of the project will be the welding communities of Slovenia, Slovakia and Czech Republic, where the respective welding institutes are best suited to make available the devices to the national welding communities, through specific training workshops.
The VIRTWELD consortium is made up of three European ANBs (Authorised National Bodies). IzV (SL), CWS (CZ) and VUZ (SK), with VUZ also acting as project coordinator, and EWF.
