The project uses microlearning and digital education based on a generative artificial intelligence.

It provides the educators with the necessary tools to innovate in the university courses through AI chatbots, encouraging the innovative teaching methods. At the same time, the project increases students' employability and confidence by providing them with knowledge in sustainable finance and sector-specific ESG challenges.
