As part of the European VRChem project, our team at the Universidade de Aveiro joined forces with international partners to launch a new immersive learning experience. Researchers from the DigiMedia – Digital Media and Interaction Research Centre and the LAQV/REQUIMTE associate laboratory developed and implemented an educational scenario tailored for Higher Education in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.

Within this virtual environment, students can learn, test, and experiment with various activities integrated into a digital industrial park.


Beyond navigating and gaining familiarity with typical industrial settings, students are challenged to perform equipment analysis and replacement, technical measurements, and logistics operations.



Virtual Reality is a proven highly effective medium for education, enabling students to explore complex scenarios in an accessible way, where they can experiment and learn from mistakes without real-world risks.



Launching soon on our official website! This app is one of three immersive scenarios co-created with our international consortium partners.

This work is the result of a collaborative effort between DigiMedia – Digital Media and Interaction Research Centre, the Departamento de Comunicação e Arte da Universidade de Aveiro, the Departamento de Química da Universidade de Aveiro, the VRChem Project and the Associated Laboratory for Green Chemistry (LAQV/REQUIMTE)/REQUIMTE.
