European Project on Medical Humanities

The First Transnational Meeting

Pixel organized and coordinated the kickoff meeting of the European project entitled ALCMAEON – Design a digital collection to include medical museum in the teaching of medical humanities and promote object-based learning education model, which was held on 11 – 12 February 2019 in Florence (Italy).  The European project entitled ALCMAEON was funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, KA2 - Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education. The ALCMAEON European project has been written and coordinated by Pixel in cooperation with the project applicant and scientific coordinator Universidad Complutense de Madrid based in Madrid (Spain). The aim of the ALCMAEON project is to overcome the gap between clinical practice and historical perspective of medical humanities, through the representation of the historical scenarios and the integration of historical evidences in specific educational contents. During the first meeting, the European project partners introduced themselves as well as their project’s related experiences and expertise. The main activities to be carried out were presented and discussed. The main intellectual outputs to be produced were examined and the templates for the production of the expected deliverables were analyzed and jointly discussed.
