Darum geht es:

Ecological and digital transformation are important prerequisites for a more sustainable and climate-friendly society and economy. But this requires competent and well-trained experts in all areas. The lack of qualified professionals is one of the great challenges of our time, not only in Germany but throughout Europe. Universities, as places of research and teaching, are important actors in the transfer of competences and are faced with the task of continually redesigning their teaching to address challenges such as digitalisation, sustainability, the Corona pandemic, internationalisation and the shortage of skilled workers.

Universites develop in their alliances new forms of teaching and learning that are intended to make university teaching more participatory, sustainable, international and open. For example, certificates or microcredentials offer an opportunity to set individual skill focuses - also for people who are not enrolled at the universities. Inter- and transdisciplinary projects promote the exchange of skills not only between academic fields but also between higher education and practice. Participants not only benefit from a variety of offers at universities throughout Europe, but can also strengthen their intercultural skills and develop their own Europe-wide networks through flexible mobility experiences.
