Girls Into Global STEM

Written by Super User on . Posted in Projects & Initiatives. No Comments on Girls Into Global STEM

The issue of gender bias in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects and careers is a transnational problem recognised by business leaders, higher education and by the European Commission. The issue originates in schools when many girls make critical subject choices that will effectively lock them out from STEM in higher education and employment. The “Girls Into Global STEM” (GIGS) project aims to increase the employment potential of all young Europeans, but especially girls, by improving their interest and engagement in STEM subjects through linking these to a wider awareness of global issues. The project will facilitate much of this work through the development of digital skills and especially through the collaborative authoring of eBooks.

Terrorist activities involving the use of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) materials constitute a new threat and the risk of using them as a tool has evoked an urgent need for undertaking numerous countermeasures. Police officers from local patrol units are those responders who arrive to the action scene first. While police provides training for conducting operations in CBRN environment to special anti-terrorism units, those units arrive at the scene of action later. The general aim of CBRN-POL project is to create a modern, multidisciplinary CBRN training curriculum and educational materials for police officers. The scope of the educational programme shall meet the demand for safe, responsible and effective behaviour of police officers on scene of intentionally induced incident involving CBRN materials. This project will increase the capacity of police officers for detection, management of crisis and mitigation of CBRN risks not only in the partner countries but also in the other EU countries.

Modernizing and Enhancing Indian eLearning Educational Strategies

Written by Super User on . Posted in Projects & Initiatives. No Comments on Modernizing and Enhancing Indian eLearning Educational Strategies

Project MIELES aims to support a network of Indian HEI to develop and implement institutional strategies for elearning. Many development cooperation interventions focused directly on ICT infrastructure (Digital India, for example) or on the provision of online course content. Few projects have addressed the need to support HEI to utilise ICT infrastructure and online course content, and to enable leadership and staff to do so, in a cross-institutional way. An international consortium of partners will work with Indian partners to help them develop strategies for elearning. MIELES is also designed to provide a collaborative platform to address a relevant issue for the development, reform, democratization and modernization of the higher education system in India and to reinforce Indian-EU higher education collaboration.

Inclusion, integration and addressing the needs of marginalised groups, are key priorities for many European countries. CARDET, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture from Cyprus and partners from 5 EU countries participate in the project iDecide, under the ERASMUS+ KA3 Support for Policy Reform program of the European Commission. The project aims to develop an innovative toolkit, a mobile app, and an induction course to support evidence-based policy making that can lead to the reduction of disparities in learning outcomes and marginalization, by supporting school leaders, school staff, and policymakers to engage in shared and inclusive decision making. By implementing the toolkit and collecting rich data, partners will better understand the complexities of how decisions at school level influence marginalised groups. The project will also develop concrete recommendations for policy and practice on how to engage in shared decision making, giving voice to all stakeholders.

Health Communication Training for Health Professionals

Written by Super User on . Posted in Projects & Initiatives. No Comments on Health Communication Training for Health Professionals

Patient-doctor communication is an integral part of clinical practice, as it comprises the building block upon which the physician’s relationship with the patient is based on (Nelson, 2008). In fact, the way in which a doctor communicates information to a patient is equally important as the actual information being communicated. Nonetheless, it appears that vocational training opportunities on health communication are limited. Communication skills often remain poorly developed among health professionals. HCOM aims to bridge the gaps identified in the provision and training in communication skills for health care professionals across Europe. Its main objective is to map the shortage of relevant training, explore the needs and perceptions of health professionals concerning communication and develop a training programme on health communication. The long term goal of HCOM is to ultimately improve the patient-doctor relationship and health outcomes among patients across the EU.

Also, how to increase a project’s productivity, choosing the right partners, to consider every aspect that affects the process of a project and having an effective management of their project through Project Cycle Management.
