Drones for GREEn iNdustry
Drones4GREEN is an Erasmus+ project that aims to strengthen education and practical skills in drone technology while promoting its use in green and sustainable business applications. The project brings together universities and industry partners to bridge the gap between academic education and real-world drone applications, helping students, researchers and professionals develop skills that meet the needs of the growing drone industry.
Drones4GREEN develops educational materials, updated curricula, a mobile application supporting safe drone flights and an open digital hub for knowledge sharing and collaboration. The project also provides practical training opportunities, including a case study on drone applications in agriculture. Through these activities, Drones4GREEN supports cooperation between higher education institutions and industry, encouraging the adoption of drone technologies across different sectors.
MetaMind Innovations (MINDS) contributes to the Drones4GREEN project by bringing its expertise in information and communication technologies, digital innovation and industrial applications. Under WP2, MINDS supports the development of educational materials and a Drone Deployment Framework, helping connect academic knowledge with practical industry requirements. The company also contributes to WP3 activities related to the Drones4GREEN mobile application for safe drone flights, as well as WP4 activities involving the Drone Open Digital Hub, an online platform for educational resources, knowledge sharing and collaboration between universities and industry.
MINDS also participates in WP5 activities focused on evaluating drone deployment practices in agriculture, contributing to the assessment of the project’s framework and the exchange of practical knowledge.
In addition, MINDS leads Activities A5.2, A5.3 and A5.4, coordinating the project’s final meeting, the third multiplier event and the drone training activities in Kozani, Greece. These activities bring together project partners, students and stakeholders, combining theoretical and practical drone training with the presentation of project results and agricultural applications. Through these contributions, MINDS supports the development of practical drone skills and stronger cooperation between higher education and industry.
