  • Funder: European Commission Project Code: 2015-1-IT02-KA201-014774
    Funder Contribution: 160,700 EUR

    The project aims to respond to two of the main challenges faced by modern societies: 1) The rapid obsolescence of all technical and scientific knowledge which makes it difficult to teach sciences at school even if sciences are a key factor for the understanding of climate change and for the sustainable economic development 2) The processes of social exclusion related to early school leaving. Early school leaving is often related to segregation in schools (2013, Eurydice Report) Special Edcational Needs often suffer from segregation in schools even if all European countries have ratified the UNESCO Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action in Special Needs Education (1994). One extract from the statement is used repeatedly as a guiding principle in policy level debates: Regular schools with an inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes, building an inclusive society and achieving education for allNevertheless an effective inclusion of SEN students in schools is far from being fully achieved Inclusion of SEN and science teaching present similar criticisms- The persisting difficulty in developing innovative inclusive practices useful to develop scientific thinking- Inadequate use of ICT, which is an extraordinary means for fostering SEN students’ communication and the development of self-help groups , but it is also an extraordinary means to develop science teaching-Lack of connection between what students learn at school and the skills needed for managing their own lives, interacting effectively in heterogeneous groups and tackling complex global problems such climate changes objectives To enhance and disseminate innovative teaching methods such as flipped classroom and spaced learning associated with hands on activities in order to foster effective inclusion and science thinking . The prior objective is to reduce the school dropout rateTo promote scientific and technological excellence in Europe for a sustainable and inclusive growth of society , engaging students in scientific activities which pursue the objectives stated in the Covenant of Mayors To develop a multilingual platform where teachers can share best practices, exchange science lessons and have support for a more successful approach to teach sciences and to special educational needs To strengthen cooperation between partners and international experts on the project issues in order to improve learning sciences in schools and support professional developmentTo create innovative lessons in international groups of teachersParticipantsParticipants are research organizations Adi- Italian Teachers' Association, Italian, Polish and Turkish technical and vocational schools , public institutions involved in the Convenant of mayors ( Bologna City Hall and Gdynia City Hall), Gdansk and Rome UniversitiesThe project is addressed to teachers educators and researchers Activities Development of an on-line multilingual platform and repository for relevant legislation on Special Educational Needs, guidelines and best practises for highly inclusive teaching strategies to develop scientific culture in schools and science lesson plans Development of innovative inclusive lessons based on flipped and spaced techinques combined with hands on activitiesOrganization of :one preparatory meeting three Joint staff training events combined with exchange of students , each of 7 days, to test and evaluate the lessons created by teachers in mixed international groups, to test the platform, verify its effectiveness and develop future plans to continue flipped and spaced trialsA seminar devoted to disseminating and sharing the use of the platform The platform will be implemented through a constant collaboration between partners, through the exchange of ideas and teaching materials , using forums, dedicated social networks, e-mails , skype conferences. The educational material will be worked out by each partner according to his/her competence and evaluated in progress with the help of experts of didacticsLessons will be focused on specific environmental issues relating to climate changes, as stated in the the Covenant of Mayors and they will be tested during the meetings will monitor the delivery times for the production and uploading of the scheduled teaching materialsThe final evaluation will be performed by the project teamresultsdissemination of innovative and inclusive teaching and learning strategiesdevelopment of science lessons about climate change of high qualityEncouraging the introduction of issues relating to climate change in school curriculaCooperation and exchange of best practice between European countrieslonger term Increase in inclusion and school equalityImprovement in science teaching standardsCreation of trasnational innovative teaching strategies

  • Funder: European Commission Project Code: 2019-1-PL01-KA203-065812
    Funder Contribution: 51,525 EUR

    The project is coordinated by the College of Banking in Gdańsk. The largest non-public university in Pomerania runs the Finance and Management Department in Gdańsk, as well as Economics and Management in Gdynia. Two foreign universities are members of the project consortium: University of Sannio and ARISTOTELIO PANEPISTIMIO THESSALONIKIS. The partners will bring knowledge and experience in the field of technology implementation and transfer of innovations to business on the examples known to them from their home universities. In the project, the partners (universities) will participate in defining the current state at their universities, creating a common technology transfer model. Each of the universities participating in the program will conduct a pilot program of technology transfer, adequate to the research potential. Based on the results of the pilot, partner universities will explore the possibilities of process optimization, adaptation and ensuring the universality of the model. At the end of the project, all partners will participate in the creation of a universal technology transfer model.The project also includes the participation of a third partner - an institution supporting the transfer of knowledge and its commercialization - the Technology Transfer Center at Wyższa Szkoła Bankowa in Toruń. - experience and knowledge in the field of commercialization of knowledge and knowledge transfer from university to business. The main tasks of CTT are to support the transfer of knowledge and scientific achievements and their promotion among commercial organizations in the field of commercialization. The above is implemented through identification of innovative solutions, analysis of market potential of projects and research results, identification of potential business partners interested in cooperation in the commercialization or licensing of technologies developed by scientists, building a network of contacts with industry, establishing and formalizing contacts between entrepreneurs and scientists. CTT's tasks in the project will be consistent with their competences. In the project, after the start, they will present a model, known to them, technology transfer scheme, which will be the basis for further research for partner universities.The implementation of the undertaking covered by the subject application results from the diagnosis of entrepreneurship development and stimulation of cooperation between science and business. The transfer takes place mainly between the science and research sector and the sphere of economic activity, creating a specific bridge between these worlds. This process also takes place within the economic sphere between enterprises and at its interface: individual inventors - entrepreneurs. Partners in various arrangements are scientific and research institutions, large, medium and small enterprises, public institutions and private individuals.Technology transfer may take a passive or active form under market conditions. Technology transfer in an active form is synonymous with a narrow understanding of technology commercialization.As part of the project, the issue of creating a model for cooperation between science and business will be addressed - it is expected to create solutions that will attract entrepreneurs to universities, study technological opportunities, resources needed to implement technology and, on the other, stimulate the entrepreneurship of young scientists .During the project implementation, the results will be achieved:- establishing strategic cooperation- development of the innovation implementation model (at the project initiation stage and after pilot transfer studies)- creating a universal model of technology transfer,- strengthening cooperation with technology transfer centers existing at universitiesAfter:- developing proceduresThe measures of the project implementation will be:- number of patents applied- number of patents sold to business- number of technology implementations- number of contracts concluded with entrepreneurs in the field of researching the potential of technology implementationTasks in the project have been planned in a way that guarantees planned resultsresults. The results in the project are:1. Soft results - in this project they will be universal models of technology transfer that will stimulate cooperation with entrepreneurs, and thus will prevent the freezing of patents and knowledge at universities. To achieve these soft results, the Center involved Technology Transfers, which is a natural link between the world of science and business.2. Hard results:- basic technology transfer model,- universal model of technology transfer,- completed pilot study on the possibilities of technology transfer to business - 1 item / each partner university.
