Project description
Empowering education in the digital age
In the fast-paced digital era, society’s evolution hinges on access to quality education, which not only facilitates economic growth but also combats poverty, inequality, and gender disparities. However, many higher education systems struggle to adapt to the demands of the digital age. With this in mind, the MSCA-funded STUDIES-DIG project brings together a diverse consortium of European, African, and Asian institutions. Through staff exchanges and interdisciplinary collaboration, it will explore and implement context-sensitive solutions for digital transformation. By bridging academic and non-academic expertise across diverse fields, including economics, law, and linguistics, the consortium aims to address digitalisation gaps comprehensively. The project’s ultimate goal is to empower academics to drive skill development in the digital age.
Objective
Today, in the digital era society is evolving at a rapid pace and investing in education have vast social and economic advantages for it. It is the education that allows people to have access to SDGs 4.
It is not argued that a better educated people break away from poverty more easily, help to reduce inequalities and achieve gender equality; they are more tolerant, they contribute to reduce crime, to increase political and civic participation and generally to have more peaceful societies with reduced inequalities and imbalances. Within this context the project brings together European, Asia and African academic and non-academic organizations in a staff exchange program, with the goal to explore, design and deploy innovative and context sensitive solutions for transforming higher education systems. This international and multi-sector consortium is created as a platform for collaboration and is united by the principles of innovation, partnership and solidarity with the purpose to research and identify successful contemporary models and modern instruments that can help higher education transformation and support the sustainable and effective adaptation of the higher education systems of the consortium members to the digital age.
The aim of the project is study the process of digitalisation in different organisations and offer solutions concerning the improvement of the digitalisation practices. The project consortium comprises both academic and non-academic partners as well as experts in diverse fields such as, but not limited to, economics, law, management, linguistics. This allows a broad and an in-depth approach to digitalisation.
On the basis of the identified gaps in the digitalisation process, the project will propose approaches and methodologies which will be realised as different disciplines for the academic institutions’ partners in order to build sustainable competences for the transfer of knowledge and skills.
