The main objective of the project is to enhance the sustainability competences of HEI students and educators in the sector of fibrous composites and technical textiles.
The specific objectives of the project are:
- to create an e-learning course for HEI students on the circular economy for fibrous composites and technical textiles
- to make use of innovative technologies, like virtual reality, to support the learning process – to create a roadmap and recommendations, for the appointment of ECTS points to the course and the adoption of microcredentials.
- To bring together European organizations and build their capacity in organizing learning courses, which lead to micro-credentials based on learning outcomes.
Target groups
The primary target group of the project are Higher education institutions, HEI teachers and staff, and HEI students enrolled in the fields of engineering and textiles. Secondary target groups are stakeholders from the field of textiles and engineering (industries, companies, associations, adult education centres etc) and national policy makers
