Focusing on enabling individuals:
- Based on 15+ interviews with relevant stakeholders, a qualification framework for the “EuroTeQ Learning Professional” has been finalised, and a good understanding of the role has been achieved within the eco-system through different dissemination activities.
- In cooperation among the partners, a training concept for the “EuroTeQ Learning Professional” was developed, to qualify experts in the scientific upskilling of professional engineers.
- We piloted the training program with stakeholders from different universities and the ecosystem.
- With 15+ interviews, the developmental needs of professional engineers have been analysed as well as current offers for lifelong learning on the market and at the EuroTeQ institutions, showing pathways to establish them as lifelong learning partners for professional engineers.
- To pilot the collaboration between the lifelong learning centres at the partner institutions, the concept of a tailor-made programme for the upskilling of professional engineers has been developed.
- We piloted a tailor-made programme for the upskilling of professional engineers.
Focusing on societal transformation and institutional strategies for responsibility and co-creation:
- Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of responsibilisation strategies and instruments used in the different EuroTeQ universities have been identified in comprehensive SWOT analyses, with a particular focus on the needs and potential of technical universities.
- The benefits and challenges of co-creation teaching and its effects have been investigated with 30+ interviews and 10+ course observations across the partner universities.
- Relations to discuss the roles of responsible innovation, social sciences, and humanities, and co-creation teaching across the EuroTeQ universities and in other networks of the European University Alliance have been established, workshops to connect with local eco-system partners around the topics have been conducted, and first insights and
results have been shared at conferences and in peer-reviewed articles.
- We elaborated a comprehensive report of indicators of co-creation teaching that we have shared with relevant stakeholders (especially teaching and learning units at the EuroTeQ universities).
- We elaborated a Manifesto for Responsible Co-creation with the involvement of EuroTeQ leadership and the academic community of our universities more broadly. Two policy briefs distributed amongst the EuroTeQ community complement the work of this work package. We added publications in comparative research in collaboration with other
work packages.
With regards to outreach and dissemination activities, a communication plan and free-of-charge channels for dissemination have been established. Project activities were monitored to share relevant activities and results with the relevant target audiences and the wider eco-system.
