SUMMARY:XR Workshop: Communicating the Energy Transition through Virtual Worlds (UPRAISE)
DESCRIPTION:On 30 June\, join the XR Workshop: Communicating the Energy Transition through Virtual Worlds\, organised in the context of the UPRAISE project. \nOver two days\, students will collaborate in teams to design\, produce\, and publish a real WebXR site focused on the energy transition. Communications students will develop skills in virtual environments and data storytelling\, while engineering and science students will learn how to translate complex knowledge into engaging and accessible narratives. \nAbout this workshop\nThe workshop is organised by the UPRAISE project (under the Digital Europe Programme) and POWER projects\, in collaboration with eComciencia\, the Chair of Energy Transition and the Chair of Circular Economy of the URJC. It brings together communication\, sustainability\, and technology in a single experience—precisely the combination of skills needed to meet current job market demands and support Europe’s ambitions under the Digital Decade and the Green Deal. \nThis is a 2-day intensive summer course where communication and engineering students collaborate to transform energy transition data into immersive WebXR experiences\, combining storytelling\, virtual worlds\, and sustainability. \nLearning outcomes & structure\nParticipants will work in teams of 4–5 students\, guided by expert tutors\, following a hands-on\, project-based approach. Each team will create a functional WebXR experience\, from concept to final presentation. \nUpon successful completion of this workshop\, learners will understand how to: \n\nTransform complex sustainability data into immersive narratives;\nDesign and build WebXR environments using platforms such as FrameVR;\nApply data storytelling techniques to enhance public understanding;\nDevelop interdisciplinary collaboration between communication and STEM profiles.\n\nProgramme\n\nDay 1 (30 June 2026)\n\nOpening session and keynote discussion on energy transition\, circular economy\, and digital communication;\nIntroduction to immersive communication and XR case studies;\nTraining in FrameVR and team formation;\nWorkshop I: Concept design (storyboard\, narrative\, data selection);\nWorkshop II: First steps in building virtual environments.\n\n\nDay 2 (1 July 2026)\n\nWorkshop III: Guided production of the virtual space\nWorkshop IV: Integration of data visualisations and multimedia content\nPublication and peer review of projects\nFinal presentations and closing session\n\n\n\nFurther information and registration\nFind out more about this course via the URJC Summer Courses platform and the official website. \nFees and scholarships: 25 places available\, 10 scholarships including accommodation and meals.\nFormat: on-site\, intensive and hands-on workshop. \nTo join the workshop\, register here.
