Bridge beyond the present

IThe Nano-Code increases higher education prospects for integrated policies in Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, and Turkey to bring together Nano- and digital technologies in building an innovative educational programme to answer the need for better public participation in shaping the future research and innovation strategies for combating COVID-19.

These objectives are also in the core actions outlined in the Sustainable Europe 2030, which facilitate the economy development and sustainable growth. The EU Centers of Nanotechnology Information recognize a gap in the links between Nanotechnology and other science areas and the ICT that needs to be addressed. This gap necessitates an improvement of the higher education opportunities of academic professionals and BSc/MSc graduates to work with digital tools.

To tackle these opportunities, the Nano-Code initiative introduces an innovative digitally designed and accessible university educational programme “NANOTECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT COVID 19” which is

  • Oriented towards the need for specialised education in Nanotechnology.
  • Based on ICT and EQF/NQF/HE strategic systems for organization of the educational process.
  • Aimed at improving the professional performance of graduates.
  • Encouraging implementation of relevant quality standards in the Nanotech area.

The innovative training model and content offered by the Nano-Code team reflects the partner countries’ needs to:

  • Conduct an in-depth study of the specific resources and define the applications of digital technologies in teaching/learning Nanotechnology.
  • Create a virtual space (the Digital University Aula) and educational content that offer individual solutions adapted to challenges and real situations at local level.
  • Apply EQF/NQF/HE principles for competence development of the target groups.
  • Demonstrate the innovative capacity of Nanotechnology and its impact on the fight against COVID-19 through digital education.

To address these needs, the Nano-Code partnership:

  • Produces tangible products, amalgamating Nano- and digital technologies for a significant social and economic impact.
  • Gives a big advantage to employability and economic improvement in the partner countries.
  • Creates transnational cooperation and supports the best educational practices to raise the job opportunities and educational flexibility and to increase the effect for a fight against COVID-19.
  • Develops a strategic partnership to enhance the quality of higher education in the Nanotech sector.
  • Outlines prospects for future learning and career paths of the Nano-Code graduates at national and European level.
