Cyberderm — EU Erasmus+ Research Partnership (DOIT)

Undergraduate dermatology and venereology education has historically varied significantly across European medical schools — with no shared curriculum, format, or learning standard. The DOIT project was established to address this gap through a pan-European, EU-funded collaboration.

The DOIT Project

Swiss4ward served as technology partner in DOIT (Dermatology Online with Interactive Technology), an Erasmus+-funded European cooperation project running from 2018 to 2021. The project brought together eight leading university medical schools across Europe to develop and implement a harmonised curriculum for undergraduate dermatology and venereology education — the European Harmonisation Curriculum Dermato-Venereology (EHC-DV).

Partner institutions

• Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (Germany)

• Università degli Studi di Verona (Italy)

• University of Zagreb Medical School (Croatia)

• Université Paris Diderot (France)

• Universität Helsinki (Finland)

• Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium)

• Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (Spain)

• Swiss4ward Europe S.L. — digital platform provider

Swiss4ward's role

Swiss4ward designed and developed the digital learning platform implementing the EHC-DV curriculum — combining blended learning, virtual teaching, and interactive content delivery across all participating institutions. The platform was built to support both standardised curriculum delivery and flexible adaptation to national teaching contexts.

The platform developed through DOIT is the foundation of Cyberderm — today deployed to 500+ universities across 8 languages, and operated in long-term partnership with the European Dermatology Forum (EDF). Cyberderm has become the reference digital education platform for undergraduate dermatology across Europe.

Funding

This project was co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
