EmbeddedAI aims at enhancing the skill set for modelling, design and analysis of artificial intelligence on embedded systems for engineers by strengthening the Nigerian Higher Education (HE) training and curricula with state-of-the-art European standards and technologies. The project aims to strengthen the links between university-enterprise cooperation, entrepreneurship and employability of graduates in Nigeria and encourage the culture of practice-oriented and industry-motivated training in Nigeria HE systems that are historically more theoretically oriented. The project aims to establish and align study programs for a Master of Science in Embedded Artificial Intelligence to facilitate entrepreneurship opportunities and serve the Nigerian industry.EmbeddedAI includes mainly activities such as the development of the embedded AI pedagogy, mapping the requirements and the courses with the bologna system, course development and development of the hands-on lab, activities towards the accreditation of the master's program, knowledge transfer for both technical and industrial skills, and the dissemination to industry and scientific communities.Embedded AI targets multiple groups, including academia, HE staff, students, industry, and Small and medium-sized enterprises. EmbeddedAI targets the 25 million unemployed graduates in Nigeria since the program is designed to integrate embedded artificial intelligence designs in diverse fields such as agriculture, medicine, telecommunication, e.t.c. It is expected to obtain tangible results, including a masters program in embedded artificial intelligence course development and implementation integrated into Nigerian engineering studies, a sustainability plan, and a monitoring report to provide a sustainable integration of the proposed curriculum in the Nigerian educational system.

The project aims to enhance the professional profile of African VET teachers and trainers in the field of agriculture and rural development by offering online, face to face and work based learning opportunities. In order to do so, SEED4AFRICA will support the establishment of an international network of VET – Vocational Education and Training – providers in three different countries (Italy, Belgium and Spain) and four Sub-Saharan countries (Nigeria, Benin, Kenya and South Africa) with the potential to furtherly extend within the EU, as well as in the whole southern African region. Project activities will promote the enhancement of VET quality and attractiveness, with a specific focus on smart, digital and sustainable farming, in particular by:- adapting and transferring the results of three good practices financed by the Erasmus+ programme for the design of innovative training approaches and materials in agricultural education, namely: SEED - Smart Entrepreneurial Education and training in Digital farming; PONICS VET - Hydroponics Agricultural Technician; LiveAdapt - Solutions for the adaptation of Extensive Livestock to Climate Change.- enhancing communication and cooperation among VET providers, at local and international level, exchanging good practices, initiatives and tools, also with the organization of job shadowing and technical visits for African VET teachers and technical staff in the schools of the ENNE National Networks represented in the project;- innovating the provision of VET programmes encouraging the collaboration between educational institutions, public authorities and private companies, especially through the conduction of contest based initiatives, such as hackathons and innovation bootcamps, where mixed teams of VET students and Agriculture stakeholders will co-design digital and entrepreneurial solutions for societal challenges linked to the Sustainable Development Goals of the Agenda 2030.
