Medis Foundation Projects
Here is an overview of some of the projects we've been involved during the last 25 years.
Mireia project
MIREIA is a unique Knowledge Alliance involving Higher Education institutions (HEIs) and companies that will combine the use of cutting-edge technology in immersive virtual technology and 3D printing with personalized learning content to promote the student-centred learning process of medical students and residents."

EASIER project
EASIER is an Erasmus+ Knowledge Alliance initiative aimed at advancing online and simulation-based training for minimally invasive surgery (MIS), offering a unified digital platform that seamlessly integrates tools like VR simulators and box trainers into structured, pedagogically sound courses. Its learning management system enables both technical and non-technical skill development through comprehensive assessment and tracking of surgical trainees’ progress. During its validation phase, the platform was tested by surgical residents and mentors, demonstrating its potential to standardize technology-enhanced surgical training across Europe.
SurgTTT project
The main objective of the project is to define the professional profile of surgical trainers by designing and testing the most suitable curricula. Another objective is broadening the scope of application of this professional profile to a European level through the development of an open multilingual online learning platform for consultants
FUSIMO project
"FUSIMO aimed to develop a model for focused ultrasound surgery in moving organs, such as the liver. With support in planning of the intervention, monitoring of the treatment progress, as well as by assessing the therapy outcome, focused ultrasound can become a safe and successful non-invasive procedure for tissue ablation in moving abdominal organs."
DIETS2 project
The DIETS2 (“Dietitians Ensuring Education, Teaching and Professional Quality”) Thematic Network (2010–2013) brought together over 95 partners across 31 European countries to elevate dietetic education through lifelong-learning frameworks and enhanced professional standards. It delivered practical outcomes such as postgraduate competency frameworks, pedagogical toolkits, e-guides, and inquiry-based teaching resources. Innovative online tools and a comprehensive materials database—developed in collaboration with EuroFIR AISBL—further supported continuous professional development and evidence-based practice among dietitians.
KTS project
The KTS project (Kheiron Training System) is designed to support medical students and surgical residents through an innovative ICT-based “serious game” that enhances psychomotor skills for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) training in a flexible and accessible manner. It builds upon existing simulation tools like training boxes and aims to broaden surgical training beyond traditional, in-person methods by incorporating open and distance learning options.
