Project description
Increasing research and innovation in engineering education
The EuroTeQ Engineering University consists of six highly renowned European universities of science and technology from the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, France and the Netherlands that promote innovative teaching in engineering education. The EU-funded BoostEuroTeQ project will increase the research and innovation dimension of the EuroTeQ Engineering University by enabling synergies with education activities funded by Erasmus+. The project will develop a concept for training learning professionals at universities and place them as key actors for knowledge transfer and co-creative innovation between the university and the broader ecosystem. It also aims to identify EuroTeQ partner needs in terms of institutional strategies for reflexivity and develop a ‘EuroTeQ manifesto’ for institutionalisation.
Objective
The proposed project ‘BoostEuroTeQ’ aims at strengthening the research and innovation dimension of the EuroTeQ Engineering University. It strongly builds on synergies with its education-focused activities (funded by Erasmus+) to reinforce institutional change towards responsible research and innovation. It aims, in particular, at enabling individuals in technology value creation to interact with stakeholders of the wider society to ensure desirable and socially robust pathways for societal transformation. The work plan set out in BoostEuroTeQ strengthens and complements core parts of the EuroTeQ Engineering University. In a first pillar, the project will develop a concept for training learning professionals at universities and position them as key actors facilitating knowledge transfer and co-creative innovation between the university and the wider ecosystem. By defining a EuroTeQ upskilling strategy, it will help establish the partner institutions as constant companions in the lifelong learning journeys of engineers in Europe. This will enable the consortium to develop and implement an improved strategy for strengthening human capital and will re-inforce the cooperation with non-academic actors. In a second pillar, the project will analyse the EuroTeQ partners’ needs in terms of institutional strategies for reflexivity and develop a “EuroTeQ manifesto” for institutionalization. It will investigate how universities can engage with their surroundings by developing “learning networks” and will design an approach to evaluate the impact of co-creative education for innovation and understand its scalability. With that, BoostEuroTeQ will reinforce the impact of university research and innovation and build sustainable involvement and engagement with citizens and civil society. In sum, this complementary project will strengthen the EuroTeQ Engineering University’s role as change maker and role model for institutional transformation in Europe.
