<< Background >>Laboratory education is the cornerstone of chemical sciences. In laboratories, students develop their practical skills and gain deeper, hands-on understanding of the concepts discussed in lectures and textbooks. Laboratory skills are crucial for successful transition to working life as professionals in chemistry, chemical engineering, and many other fields of science. The ongoing transition towards renewable and sustainable energy solutions requires higher training capacity of skilled chemists with versatile laboratory experience. At the same time, traditional laboratory education faces severe threats in many universities in Europe and world-wide. Laboratory education is relatively expensive compared to for example lectures and whenever universities face budget cuts, the quality and extent of laboratory education may be in danger. Furthermore, during the COVID-19 crisis, educational programmes with laboratory training have been among the hardest-hit sectors because in many countries students have not been able to access labs due to university lockdowns.<< Objectives >>We want to promote high-quality laboratory education by providing digital solutions that increase the resilience, quality, and financial sustainability of laboratory education. We will develop open, accessible, and scalable virtual materials chemistry laboratories for training students in the field of sustainable energy solutions such as light-emitting diodes or Li-ion batteries. BSc and MSc level virtual laboratories will be integrated with state-of-the-art materials modelling platform, bridging experiment and theory in unforeseen ways. The developed virtual laboratories will be integrated in our curricula, either as completely new course offerings or integrated to existing laboratory courses. The project results make it possible for higher education institutions to offer students more versatile laboratory education around the Europe and globally.<< Implementation >>Our project involves four major Project Results related to the implementation of virtual materials chemistry laboratories and virtual materials modelling platform integrated into the laboratories. The work on the Project Results is supported by shared digital workspace, regular transnational project meetings, and training activities for teachers. Dissemination of the project results to wider teacher community beyond the partner universities is also a major activity in the project.<< Results >>The expected Project Results are: (1) laboratory virtualization guidelines, (2) virtual general chemistry laboratory, (3) virtual inorganic materials chemistry laboratory, and (4) virtual materials modelling platform integrated with the experimental laboratories. The developed results will be licensed with Open Access license and open to all interested educators. Overall, the project builds new capacities in European higher education by implementing and disseminating novel digital solutions for laboratory education. Working-life skills of students will be boosted, providing stronger innovative capacities for their professional life. Our work strongly supports high-quality chemical education in Europe and contributes to development of sustainable energy technologies of the future.
