<< Background >>TELOS, our common goal, means moving towards a European Landscape Economy for a Sustainable Urban Development. Our project brings five European metropolitan areas together to address this spatial and educational challenge in a new way: we link Rome, Stuttgart, Brussels, Gdansk and Antalya.TELOS contributes to a large-scale transnational educational transformation and empowers a new generation of visionary professionals, decision-makers and urbanites, to address sustainability challenges through problem-solving approaches that integrate systems thinking, anticipatory strategic competences, real life scenarios and insights, and interpersonal skills.TELOS aims to build ‘knowledge and action bridges’ between the seemingly competing systems of ecology and economy, as they appear in our everyday urban environment.The target groups of the TELOS project are primarily university staff and students from the following subject domains: urban planning, landscape planning, architecture and landscape architecture, agriculture, regional development, economics, business administration and real estate. Related stakeholder groups are equitable finance players, real estate developers and related industries, NGOs, municipalities, and the wider public, aiming to break down barriers and foster collaboration while encouraging knowledge exchange at all levels.<< Objectives >>The project has the following objectives:- To develop the first Landscape Economy curriculum by which learners can deeply immerse in the theories, dialectics and methodologies associated with these emerging concepts- To build capacity among university teachers, enabling them to successfully implement interdisciplinary and transformative learning settings- To build up key competences for sustainable urban development - To create and share knowledge, by documenting TELOS methodology as an open educational resource - To disseminate the TELOS curriculum and methodology as widely as possible.<< Implementation >>The project includes the following main activities:- Development of the TELOS curriculum (design, testing, evaluation, exploitation and dissemination)- Conceptualisation and implementation of two TELOS staff training events.- Piloting the TELOS curriculum by means of two blended learning events. The blended learning events consist of the following elements: the TELOS online course, the TELOS local lab and the TELOS charette.- Implementation of two Multiplier Events during which we involve a wider stakeholder network and diversified audiences into the development and dissemination of the TELOS intellectual outputs.<< Results >>- Intellectual Output 1: TELOS Landscape Economy curriculum. This includes all open educational resources, such as lecture recordings, a glossary of core terminology, presentations and learning materials.- Intellectual Output 2: TELOS Landscape Economy teaching/learning toolbox. This output is targeted to educators in the sense of a facilitation handbook. It will include the theoretical background of landscape economy, the learning goals and competence framework of the TELOS curriculum, methodical guidance for interdisciplinary learning settings, workshop facilitations guidance, assessment criteria and evaluation methods, assignment descriptions, and full evidence of the TELOS experience.- Substantial capacity and skills development among the core target groups of the TELOS project, which will be transferable to other European audiences and up-scaled in other European locations.Our methodical framework embraces a pedagogical action research cycle, which will allow for a rapid prototyping on the TELOS curriculum, early testing and continuous adaptation and improvement based on the feedback of the actual end users. The project is expected to have its main impact in the following two dimensions:Short term impact on Higher Education: more effective education for sustainable development through staff capacity building and curriculum innovation. The following main competence fields will be addressed: (1) systems thinking, (2) anticipatory competence, (3) normative competence, (4) strategic competence, and (5) interpersonal competence.Long term impact on the local communities and their territorial contexts: mainstreaming TELOS competences will transform planning and development practices. This will lead to better spatial design and planning solutions characterised by sustainable economic models that support social and environmental goals. Keywords of this landscape-based approach are: circular economy, ecosystem services, green infrastructure, sustainable housing, digitalisation and smart city and community applications, all combined with democratic leadership skills, creative financing models, and innovative governance.

"<< Objectives >>The project's main objective is to support young refugee/migrant NEETs' and their ""fast track"" insertion into the labor market. It aims to train youth professionals and provide them with useful tools as well as to counteract to the basic challenges often faced while trying to access the labor market: lack of awareness among employers, lack of job opportunities and lack of choice for the jobs NEETs would like to practice and the training needed.<< Implementation >>The main activities to be implemented are the following:- Training for youth professionals to better support young refugee/migrant NEETs;- training and mentoring activities to develop work-oriented technical and soft/life skills and prepare young refugee/migrant NEETs to access the local labour market by developing an individual action plan;- selection of local employers to provide on-the-job training and mentoring services.<< Results >>The main results expected are the following:[a]. The Newcomers@Work Curriculum and Guide; [b]. the Newcomers@Work Digital Toolbox; [c]. the Newcomers@Work Implementation Guide. The project will also develop a series of training activities and dissemination events. These involve: [a] joint staff training activity;[b]. pilot of the curriculum; [c]. on-the-job training and mentoring activities;[d]. national conferences and a final conference."

For the purpose of creating digitalisation and automation solutions Arrowhead Tools adresses engineering methodologies and suitable integrated tool chains. With the global aim of substantial reduction of the engineering costs for digitalisation/automation solutions. Thus the Arrowhead Tools vision is: - Engineering processes and tool chains for cost efficient developments of digitalization, connectivity and automation systems solutions in various fields of application For the further and wider commercialisation of automation and digitalisation services and products based on SOA, Arrowhead Framework and similar technologies there is a clear need for engineerings tools that integrates existing automation and digitalisation engineering procedures and tool with SOA based automation/digitalisation technology. For this purpose the Arrowhead Tool’s grand challenges are defined as: - Engineering costs reduction by 40-60% for a wide range of automation/digitalisation solutions. - Tools chains for digitalisation and automation engineering and management, adapted to: 1. existing automation and digitalisation engineering methodologies and tools 2. new IoT and SoS automation and digitalisation engineering and management tools 3. security management tools - Training material and kits for professional engineers The results will create impact on: - Automation and digitalisation solution market - Automation and engineering efficiency and the SSBS market - Automation and digitalisation security - Competence development on engineering of automation and digitalisation solution
