MERIT

Practical, hands-on learning is an essential part of modern engineering education. Within the MERIT project, Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) has integrated advanced industrial technologies into teaching environments to help students better understand how smart manufacturing systems operate in real life.

On March 31, we celebrate the World Backup Day – a reminder that, in a world increasingly shaped by digital technologies, the safety of our data is something we can no longer afford to overlook.
