The staff of EDUMOTIVA has taken part in several EU projects in Education, Training and Culture. In 2014 EDUMOTIVA successfully completed the FOCAL EU-funded Grundtvig Learning partnership which aimed at engaging youth and seniors in an intercultural and intergenerational dialogue. Currently EDUMOTIVA participates in the EU-funded ERASMUS+/KA2 project CONSTRUIT! (www.construit.org) which aims at exploring innovative ways of computing in higher and school education and in the ROBOESL project (www.roboesl.eu) which introduces educational robotics in school classes to support students at risk of school failure and early school leaving.

The scientific leader of the organization D. Alimisis has served as education leader in the FP7 SAFROS project (2010-13, www.safros.eu) , coordinator in the TERECoP project (2006-09, www.terecop.eu), advisor (2013-15) for the Estonian project “Conceptual framework for increasing society’s commitment in ICT” (https://sisu.ut.ee/ict/) that focused on raising students’ interest in the area of ICT studies and STEM careers and more. In addition to that, inclusive learning is among the expertise of EDUMOTIVA members. This valuable expertise has been gained through their participation in relevant EU funded projects such as "School Inclusion", a project developed for prevention of early school leaving in the framework of the LLP/COMENIUS Programme funded by the European Commission 2008-2010 http://schoolinclusion.pixel-online.org/info/index.php
