The SIPPRE Research Group (Signal, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition Group) had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Rukiye Orman and Dr. Abdullah Orman from Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Turkey, in the framework of Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training.
The visit took place from 29 September to 3 October 2025 at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of the Peloponnese, and was coordinated by Dr. Athanasios Koutras, Associate Professor and Erasmus+ Departmental Coordinator.
Training Activities & Scientific Exchange
During their stay, the visiting colleagues participated in a structured training and knowledge-exchange programme that included:
- A comprehensive visit to the SIPPRE Laboratory, with presentations of ongoing research in
machine learning, artificial intelligence, biomedical signal analysis, and data-driven technologies - Technical discussions and demonstrations related to brain–computer interfaces, EEG analysis, digital image processing, and AI-based diagnostic systems
- Meetings with academic staff and researchers, focusing on modern teaching methodologies and research-driven education
- Visits to additional teaching and research laboratories of the department, covering embedded systems, robotics, digital communications, and computing platforms
- The programme enabled hands-on exposure to current research infrastructures and fostered meaningful scientific dialogue and exchange of best practices.
Impact & Future Collaboration
This Erasmus+ mobility contributed significantly to:
- strengthening academic and cultural ties between the two institutions,
- supporting the internationalisation strategies of both universities,
- and laying the groundwork for future collaborations, including joint research activities, student mobility, and academic exchanges.
The SIPPRE Research Group remains committed to promoting international cooperation, open research culture, and knowledge sharing through Erasmus+ and other mobility initiatives.
We sincerely thank Dr. Rukiye Orman and Dr. Abdullah Orman for their visit and look forward to continued collaboration.
