The new QoLT field provides partnership opportunities with multiple academic communities - K-12, pre-college, undergraduate, post-graduate - on the use of cutting edge technologies in a vital public service. It provides a vehicle to inspire and engage diverse populations in learning and careers. Student engagement helps refine ERC programs to reflect the communities' needs and preferences, and make QoLT a field that is truly participatory.

Partner organizations and institutions benefit through co-creation of curricula and outreach activities, real-world perspectives of the other partners, and early access to newly implemented QoLT Center devices and methods. We all benefit from a mutual understanding of each others' needs, constraints, challenges, and successes.
