Project description
Paving the way for open science skills
The European Skills Agenda aims to help individuals and businesses develop more and better skills in order to strengthen sustainable competitiveness. The EU-funded ISPAS project will follow these recommendations to support PhD candidates. Specifically, it will develop new joint curricula of PhD courses organised by academic and non-academic institutions, providing candidates from the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), medicine, social sciences as well as arts and humanities with skills in open innovation and open science. The project will rely on the quadruple helix model of collaboration, which brings together members of the consortium and stakeholders from the industry, the public sector, government institutions and civil society in Bulgaria, Italy, Norway and Spain.
Objective
Basing on the collaboration between academic and non-academic partners from Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, and Norway ISPAS’ overall objective is to develop a new joint curricula of PhD courses that will take place in both academic and non-academic surroundings to equip PhD candidates of the STEM Sciences, Medical Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities with competences and skills in the areas of open innovation and open science to facilitate their employment after graduation in and outside of academia. The new joint curricula of PhD skills courses will address the recommendation of reinforcing tools, resources and guidance in education, training, employment and other learning settings to support people in managing their lifelong learning pathways. The development of the courses will be organized based on the quadruple helix model of collaboration where consortium’s academic partners collaborate with consortium’s non-academic partners, representatives of industry and public sector, and involve governmental representatives and citizens. Further, ISPAS will include courses for training data stewards. ISPAS' activities will produce an impact on the improvement of the innovation potential of future PhD candidates. ISPAS' activities also aim to produce an impact on the joint collaboration between academia and stakeholders in the regions of Catalonia in Spain, Piemonte in Italy, Rogaland in Norway, and Bulgaria by providing opportunities for improving skills intelligence, skills visibility and comparability for better career choices, learning about future Open Science and entrepreneurship skills needs and employment potential of scientists of the STEM Sciences, Medical Sciences, Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities in various interdisciplinary and intersectoral fields.
