Modernizing Laboratories for Innovative Technologies

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg IPA CBC Croatia-Serbia

Description

Description (EN):

Rapid expansion of ICT sector, although promising, does not have a satisfactory business environment support which can adapt fast to trends and demands, for sustainable economic growth. In addition, one of the leading European employers - the automotive industry, has included in its focus the software and embedded systems. As a result, there is a growing need for engineers with adequate skills and ICT companies that can respond to the demand. Simultaneously, the University roles are shifted to take active part in creating healthy business environment via technology transfer oriented research, provision of services that utilize infrastructure, courses oriented to better employability of prospective students, and trainings that support lifelong learning. Common problems in the targeted regions, such as workforce attrition caused by challenged economy, or low employability and income, can be solved faster and with higher efficiency if opportunities, such as for example the changes mentioned above, are timely recognized and seized. Thus, the main objective of the project is to modernize existing computer infrastructure with 4 automotive IT laboratories. 10 several days workshops will be organized in which over 100 young professionals will be educated, collaboration established with at least 3 companies. Courses updates and novel training workshops with accompanied manuals and books will give extra value to the sustainable automotive oriented business environment. The targeted groups are prospective students, engineers through lifelong learning programs, and enterprises and IT clusters that see their place in applications for emerging automotive industry, but were limited by expensive infrastructure. The results will add to cross-border sustainability of the business environment, fortify the competitiveness, accelerate economic development, and collaboration between the clusters, entrepreneurs, and education and research institutions.

Expected Results (EN): Range of custer activities enhancing innovation, new technologies and ICT solutions

Expected Outputs (EN):

The partners will set four laboratories that can support the embedded engineering in automotive industry, create accompanied materials, such as book and tutorials, update at least four accredited courses, and create two training workshops. They will hold workshop for engineers that require additional knowledge to successfully integrate existing pool of engineers and companies in the ICT segment of the automotive industry. In addition, the Faculties curriculum automotive component will be modernized and added for new generations of students. Also, the workshops will be offered via chamber of commerce, and engineering organizations, societies, and clusters. As a result it is expected that at least 50 students will gain knowledge from different perspectives customized by the specific course enrolled and practical experience, thus making them ready to work immediately after graduation. Also, at least 100 engineers/entrepreneurs will gain knowledge needed to work in automotive industry via workshops. This project results and outputs will increase competitiveness in the programme area, and the activities directly correlate with the programme result indicators.
