Link & Learn webinar – Innovating Learning: Insights from European Projects with Learnovate
19 September 1pm to 2pm GMT
Join us for our third Link & Learn of 2024 which is designed to provide insights, guidance and practical tips on European Projects. Learn how they work, who can participate and benefit from real life scenarios to recognise potential pitfalls and learn from success stories.
We have invited partners from three European Projects Learnovate are currently coordinating or working on to give an overview of the work and the purpose and benefits of these projects.
1. AgileDT with Kathryn Cormican of the School of Engineering in University of Galway
AgileDT seeks to adapt VET programmes to future labour market needs by changing the way that students and teachers collaborate.
2. ECDA (European Chips Diversity Alliance) with Nessa Maguire CEO of EudaOrg
ECDA is an innovative and robust partnership between academia and industry in the microelectronics sector to enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion and to lower barriers to participation.
3. TD3C (Teacher Digital Content Creation Competencies) Keith Johnston Assistant Professor Education in Trinity College Dublin
The TD3C project focuses on teacher creation of digital content. It aims to identify the competencies which enable teachers to create digital content and will work with teachers to trial and iterate a related framework which scaffolds teachers in digital content creation.
Panel Discussion
We will then host a panel discussion on the EU funding landscape with a focus on explaining opportunities for organisations to be involved in EU funded projects and applications and where to go for more information or to connect with potential partners. Our Programme Manager Deirdre Green will be joined by Florence Magee Leargas, Dr Yvonne Halpin Head of the Irish Marie Skłodowska-Curie Office and Patrick Lansley of the ERC (SSH) and Horizon Europe Cluster 2 NCP.
