Project description DEENESFRITPL Educational programme on open innovation systems The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the implementation of virtual learning environments in university education. The EU-funded OPENING DOORS project aims to provide interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international training to post-graduate researchers delivered via a challenge-based open online educational programme on open science. The project, supported by connectivism as a pedagogical method, will identify the graduate skills in open innovation systems through interviews with PhD graduates, educators and employers. Moreover, it will co-design the programme with stakeholders from industry, government institutions and community structures, aiming to render post-graduates capable of managing connectivity through an open online learning system, thus increasing their intercultural sensitivity, digital skills and career prospects. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective The purpose of OPENING DOORS is to co-develop an interdisciplinary, intersectoral, & international educational offering for post-graduate researchers. Our goal is to shape more innovative, socially aware, integrative and employable research graduates, ready to meet the challenges of the future. This will be accomplished through a challenge-based, open online educational course on open science. The focus of the course is on cultivating valued skills that can contribute meaningfully to the quadruple-helix model of open innovation. This model recognises four major actors in the innovation system: the scientific enterprise, policy, industry, and society. The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed technology-enabled university teaching overnight. An adaptation process that often takes years has been greatly accelerated, disrupting many cultural barriers to using digital learning environments. The OPENING DOORS virtual learning environment will be underpinned by connectivism as the pedagogical approach. Connectivism reflects the networked innovation environments of the future. The specific objectives of OPENING DOORS are to: 1) identify the graduate skills that are valued in open innovation systems through interviews with employers, PhD graduates and educators in those systems 2) co-design an educational course for PhD and postdoctoral researchers in collaboration with industry, government, community, university stakeholders including PhD students, that uses real-world challenges as the basis of collaborative learning opportunities 3) enable students to manage interdisciplinary, intersectoral and international connectivity through an open, online learning environment; reflexivity, interdisciplinary team communication processes, intercultural sensitivity, digital skills and career development will underpin the learning process This work is vital in an era where open science practices are becoming the currency in many intersectoral innovation networks Programme(s) H2020-EU.5.a. - Make scientific and technological careers attractive to young students, and forster sustainable interaction between schools, research institutions, industry and civil society organisations Main Programme Topic(s) SwafS-08-2019-2020 - Research innovation needs & skills training in PhD programmes Call for proposal H2020-SwafS-2018-2020 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-SwafS-2020-1 Funding Scheme CSA - Coordination and support action Coordinator UNIVERSITY COLLEGE DUBLIN, NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND, DUBLIN Net EU contribution € 163 142,50 Address Belfield 4 Dublin Ireland See on map Region Ireland Eastern and Midland Dublin Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (4) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all International partner Legal entity established in a non-associated third country that is not eligible for funding under Article 10 of the Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013 laying down the rules for participation and dissemination in Horizon 2020.
