This project includes nine European universities in cooperation with IUG presented by Dr. Nazmi Al-Masri, vice presented of IUG external relations and a co-investigator in this project. This course was given by four educators from Glasgow university including Dr. Giovanna Fassetta, Dr. Katja Frimberger, Dr. Mariam Attiah, and the PhD researcher, Maria Grazia.

The same course was repeated for different participants in 2015 online. IUG has chosen participants from both courses to be given this new online course from Glasgow.
