ENSURING TRANSFERABILITY

The Nano-Code team sustains active working relations to a variety of partners in a plethora of sectors: industry, education, science. The shift of the Nano-Code results and the utilization of ECTS-based project outcomes is guaranteed by:

  • Adapting of the resources to meet the teaching and learning needs in different sectors;
  • Organisation of dissemination and training events - workshops, testing sessions and guides aimed at the staff in the partner institutions;
  • Expanding the reach of higher education and its quality enhancement in respect to the sectoral and national needs;
  • Linking the related sectors in order to improve the long-term relations between universities and companies in the industry.

ENSURING IMPACT

Locally and regionally:

  • The Nano-Code supports the organizations’ capacity to network across sectors and society.
  • The Nano-Code boots the courage of stakeholders to seek support for educational purposes.
  • The Nano-Code improves the users’ chances for digital distance learning.
  • The Nano-Code enlarges the framework of ECTS/EQF blended learning.
  • The Nano-Code raises the interest in educational programmes that offer new professional knowledge and skills, and a focus on autonomy and responsibility.

Nationally and Europe-wide:

  • The Nano-Code promotes diverse initiatives (seminars, evaluation events, workshops, promotional media, etc.) to increase the interest in digital scientific education.
  • The Nano-Code influences the partnership capacity and ability to transfer important technological information to their staff members and partners.
  • The Nano-Code contributes to building the European knowledge-based economy.
  • The Nano-Code assists in shaping innovative approaches for solving emergency health problems within the EU.

Internationally:

The Nano-Code develops an internationally approved model for digitization of higher education through:

  • Exploiting tools for validation and recognition of university trainees’ learning, performed remotely in virtual spaces;
  • Application of a credit system (ECTS) for weighting, transfer and recognition of Learning Outcomes gained individually;
  • Using (EUROPASS) documents that record an individual’s qualifications, credits and Learning Outcomes.

Thus, the Nano-Code supports the ongoing trans-European process for smooth transition from education to work and to further education.

The Nano-Code boosts the chances of its graduates for a professional career in the international market.

ENSURING SUSTAINABILITY

The Nano-Code partnership will maintain the core activities and results after the end of the project. Further beneficiaries may use:

  • ERASMUS+ Results Platform and project websites: the Nano-Code Digital University Aula will be maintained with a permanent input of the rational innovations and relevant information;
  • Meetings and visits to key stakeholders;
  • Dedicated discussions on information sessions, workshops, seminars, training courses, exhibitions, demonstrations or peer-reviews with the participation of the Nano-Code partners;
  • Targeted materials (reports, articles in the press, newsletters, press releases, leaflets or brochures);
  • Audio-visual media and products;
  • New dissemination measures: production and allocation of specific information (dissemination materials).

The Nano-Code sustainability relies heavily on the changes that the partnership hopes to have stimulated with the Nano-Code philosophy and the new initiatives inspired by the Nano-Code ideas. There are, however, some specific measures to be undertaken:

  • Enlargement of the partnership through association of additional organizations on sectoral and cross-sectoral level.
  • Establishment of a trust of organizations to maintain the operation of the Nano-Code model for maintenance of LOs-based modes of blended-teaching/learning in Nanotechnology.
  • Organisation of common initiatives and projects within other EU programmes.
