The education in those universities that prepare STEM specialists like engineers, physicists, chemists, computer scientists, etc., has faced new requirements and problems. The solutions found are closely linked to new technologies, curricula innovation, and rethinking of the organizational structure of higher education. In this framework, different institutions reacted differently, working in an international environment and exchanging ideas and experiences. In the ERASMUS+ project "Applying some advanced technologies in teaching and research, in relation to air pollution,"faculties from four universities from Romania (Craiova), Bulgaria (Plovdiv), Slovakia (Banská Bystrica) and Turkey (Adana) have tried to draw some positive lessons from the pandemic, on how to improve the quality of teaching in an online or hybrid environment. Some trends successfully applied in students' education will be presented and outlined as the framework of a conceptual educational model with an enhanced presence of modern educational technologies. © 2024 Author(s).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessConference Object1Q43181
