PROJECT SUMMАRY

TrainESEE v.2 is a capacity building project targeted at the six universities of the East and South Eastern Europe, with a focus on improving specific generic skills, in line with the curricula insufficiencies identified through the implementation of the EE S – Train ESEE pilot (2017-2018). The duration of the project is 2 years (2020-2021), during which four training modules will be developed, implemented and prepared as acceleration programmes: 

- Teaching methodology;  

- Project development and management; 

- Innovation and entrepreneurial module; 

- Science to Business module. 

Within the project, each of the six participating RIS Universities will collaborate in the preparation of the acceleration programmes. They will be built into the existing structures of the ESEE universities, respecting country specifics. Related to this, the TrainESEE v.2 project will:

- outline steps for supporting mobilities of the incoming professors – external lecturers at in-house acceleration programmes; 

- prepare, distribute and discuss memorandum of understanding ensuring commitment and support in implementation of the acceleration programme within “Training” universities; 

- outline steps for supporting involvement of in-country industry partners providing case-studies, project ideas, best-practice examples etc. 

MAIN OBJECTIVES:

• Delivering an educational based SWOT analyses of the six universities (RM-focused) from six RIS ESEE countries. Analyses will serve for tailoring training activities within corresponding universities and will help recognizing RIS ESEE educational needs;  
• Development of 4 generic skills modules for RIS ESEE academic staff: Teaching methodology, Project development and management, Innovation and entrepreneurial skills and Science to Business competences; 
• Delivering four modular training workshops for academic staff/associates form six RIS ESEE universities. 
• Establishment of self-sustainable acceleration programmes at each of the six participating RIS universities. Acceleration programmes are to be run for minimum 3 years after finalization of the project. 
• Dissemination of the four developed TrainESEE modules for the benefit of other education stakeholders in the RIS ESEE countries. 
• Building a new educational collaborative network between different RIS ESEE universities, non-RIS universities and research institutes, contributing to building, training and de-siloing of the ESEE education and scientific community.
