Special Feature: Infusing the digital into European education

Summary:

This issue covers digital technology in the education sector, with several project articles in the regular monthly sections highlighting the fact that almost every aspect of our economy and society is gradually becoming digitalised or dominated by impressive new technologies. Elsewhere in the magazine, the Life After feature catches up with the ColRobot project that designed an impressive robotic solution for on the factory floor. And Project of the Month features two Horizon 2020 projects that are on the frontline in the on-going mission to fight and better understand COVID-19.
