Online

More information

We are launching the second call for proposals from the mSchools Lab to identify innovative digital solutions at national and international level to answer the challenge:

How can technology enhance inclusive learning from the initial school stages?

Technological innovation to enable early detection, timely intervention, and socio-emotional support to foster students’ personal and academic growth.

The need to refocus and expand the education system’s efforts to improve students’ academic performance has become evident in recent years. This requires personalized strategies to address specific learning difficulties at their root. Biological and psychoeducational conditions often lead to neurodevelopmental challenges affecting areas such as attention, concentration, behavior, reading, writing, and math. These difficulties significantly impact academic success, social integration, and emotional well-being.

OBJECTIVE OF THE CALL

This call seeks to identify and pilot innovative digital solutions— nationally and internationally—that enable early detection, timely intervention and socio-emotional support to create an educational and social environment that allows students to overcome barriers and thrive academically and personally.

FOCUS OF THE SOLUTIONS

Early Detection: Effective and efficient early identification of neurodevelopmental conditions leading to learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ASD, and ADHD.

Timely Intervention: Personalized strategies to, ideally, reverse specific needs caused by neurodevelopmental conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ASD, and ADHD.

Socio-emotional Support Linked to Neurodevelopmental Conditions: Promoting an inclusive culture that fosters well-being and connection between school, home, and other stakeholders.

WHAT WE OFFER

Pilot Program: Pilot your solution in educational centers in Catalunya to validate your proposal and its impact.

Funding: €25,000 for each of the two winning solutions to be piloted in educational centers.

Visibility: Get high visibility of the pilot’s implementation in various channels and events.

PROGRAM PROMOTERS

mSchools Lab is an open innovation program driven by Mobile World Capital Barcelona and mSchools.

Through public-private collaboration, alongside educational institutions and the EdTech industry, we promote the identification, piloting, and impact evaluation of digital solutions with the potential to address real needs within the educational community. Our aim is to contribute to the improvement and digital transformation of education.

Proposals will be accepted from November 26, 2024, to February 4, 2025, at 12:00 PM (CET).
