+# EKEEL — Empowering Knowledge Extraction to Empower Learners
+
+**EKEEL** is a research project funded under **PRIN 2022 PNRR** (National Research Program), aimed at developing advanced technologies for **autonomous knowledge extraction from video lectures** and leveraging this knowledge for **reusable educational support services**. ([ekeel.dibris.unige.it](https://ekeel.dibris.unige.it/))

+
+## Funding and Program
+
+- **Funding Program:** PRIN 2022 PNRR – P20227PEPK  
+- **Grant:** CUP B53D23026030001  
+- **Project Period:** December 2023 – February 2026 
+- **Funding Bodies:** Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) - NextGenerationUE
+
+---
+
+## Project Overview
+
+The project focuses on:
+
+- Using **Artificial Intelligence (AI)** and **Natural Language Processing (NLP)** techniques to automatically understand the content of video lectures.  
+- Extracting key concepts and **prerequisite relationships** between them to build an **educational Knowledge Graph**.  
+- Providing structured information that can be reused in educational services and learning tools.
+
+The approach integrates **deep learning models, text, image, and video analysis** to represent the dynamics of concepts presented in lectures.
+
+---
+
+## Main Objectives
+
+- **Extract meaningful knowledge from video-based educational content.**  
+- **Build representations of concepts and prerequisite relations** for personalized learning.  
+- **Support high-performing digital education ecosystems**, in line with the Digital Education Action Plan 2021–27.
