The online education platform project EU-RUDISNET, of which Istanbul Gelisim University is a shareholder, is organized within the scope of the European Union Erasmus+ mobility. The project will provide solutions to the problems of disabled people living in rural areas.

The EU-RUDISNET project, which aims to integrate people with disabilities living in rural areas into social life through mentoring and leadership, will be carried out through the online platform.

The online education platform project “EU-RUDISNET” coordinated by Spain offers a concrete solution to the social exclusion of people with disabilities.
