The Erasmus+ Jean Monnet Module “Green Transition and Sustainability” (GRAST) at İstanbul Gedik University continues its active implementation, serving as a core platform for interdisciplinary education and industry-academia synergy. Conceived in alignment with the European Union’s target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and the strategic directives of the European Green Deal, the GRAST initiative merges sustainable energy systems, advanced manufacturing technologies, robotics, and environmental science. The program focuses on the “twin transition”—the intersection of green and digital transformations—equipping students, researchers, and industry leaders with actionable knowledge on European sustainability directives. As a tangible output of this framework, a technical seminar organized jointly by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Career and Guidance Center was successfully held with valuable contributions from İmak Gearbox (İmak Redüktör). Demonstrating the project’s broad reach, the event drew strong interest from diverse fields, ranging from engineering to sports sciences. Through flexible course modules offered in autumn, spring, and summer terms alongside such specialized industrial seminars, the GRAST Project bridges academic research with practical application, continuing to build strong international networks and advance sustainable practices across sectors.
