- teachers by proposing stimulating online courses which can be integrated in their own courses, or by motivating them to design and create their own new innovative courses.
- partners by modernizing part of their curricula.
- stakeholders of toxicology and ecotoxicology by developing student and lifelong learner competencies adapted to job market and up-to-date to recent changes at the European Level (Green Deal)
