About this member

LLInC is a major partner in the educational network of Leiden University. We coordinate innovation initiatives across the University, provide consultation, coaching and training for teachers and faculties, and advise at a central level. We focus on people and context. We develop learning experiences, applications, technologies, and methodologies, focused always on understanding, exploring and impacting root issues. Our expertise fosters collaboration within Leiden University and between (inter)national academic institutions, societal actors and the private & public sector. Our work is focused within our four themes: Digital Solutions for Education & Research, Learning Experiences, Lifelong Learning and Data & AI for Social Impact. These themes are areas of research, action, and opportunity. Our focus areas within each theme evolve and change over time as we identify new trends or implement and scale our innovations. Our goal is always to transfer our innovations into education and society. LLInC also runs the XR ERA community which aims to stimulate the sharing of XR knowledge and applications to enhance education and research in academia. The Media & Learning association is a partner of XR ERA.
