During the 21st century when global issues related to all dimensions of sustainable development are becoming more overpowering, the role of education becomes more significant as it has been and still is a part of the answer to global issues. Students, teachers, researchers and other people that are linked to higher education institutions have a specific urge to find out new things and explore the uniqueness of this world and the ongoing processes. Aside from learning and teaching activities in higher education institutions of affiliation, great value lies in participation of Erasmus+ innovation projects. These projects connect people from different countries to work on different tasks but the outcome from that is exceptional – improved language, teamwork, leadership, presentation and communication skills, knowledge about ongoing processes and tendencies of industries in other places of Europe, new contacts and many more. Erasmus+ innovation projects are great platform for creating new and unique ideas because of the international students and teachers that participate in them. They truly combine cultural, scientific, environmental aspects and accelerate the creation and discovery of innovative solutions to proposed research problems. EU Erasmus+ project “Circular Economy in Wooden Construction” (WOOD in CIRCLE) is aimed at delivering innovative student-centred transdisciplinary education in circular economy-based wooden construction for postgraduate students across European countries. This project has given more holistic view for the students on circular economy and wooden construction as well as improved language and soft skills. Moreover, it has been a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, which has strengthened collaboration among partner universities, as well as the collaboration between academic and business sectors.
