"I am glad that I had opportunity to be a part of VRSciT project and to develop Lesson plans as well to review lesson plans developed by other partners, the presentation of them in international team and discussion of how to improve them deepened my knowledge in lesson plans development, as well I had shared them with adult education centre where teachers will use them during their lessons. Including all VR products developed in VRSciT project I believe that lessons for students will become more attractive and involving."

"Virtual reality is very interesting because we can easily be transported to physical space and its surroundings. With virtual reality we can learn a little more about other cultures and customs. It is a project that contains a lot of interesting information."

"I very much appreciated the VRSciT SPOT and Online Web Toolkit. The first because it allows you to demonstrate different virtual reality experiences in different environments and the second because it offers a set of 3D models that can be used by other users."
The seventh partners' meeting took place in Florence (IT) on 18 July 2023 and the main discussed topics have been:
• Intellectual Output 2 - VRSciT SPOT: Presentation of the physical spots;
• Intellectual Output 3 - VRSciT SPOT: Presentation of the 2D teasers;
• Training Activity in Bragança (PT): Presentation of the activities carried out
• Sustainability: Presentation of the planned activities on how to use the project results after the end of the project life-time
Inside Centro Ciência Viva de Bragança (Portugal) there is now a structure entirely dedicated to the exploration of the virtual paths developed within the project. The structure offers 4 3D viewers and a large screen where visitors can see in 2D what users experience in 3D.
The immersive experience is now available. It is a different innovative informal virtual reality experience. A 3D virtual journey has been created guiding the users across Braganca castle in Portugal, Appennino Mountains in Abruzzo Region, the streets of Kaunas in Lithuania and the Skayle data centre in Spain.
