The first newsletter of our Digi-Sporting Erasmus+ project is now published. You can read it here: http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/seit/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/DIGI-SPORTING-Newsletter.html

The European project Digi-Sporting: A new step towards digital transformation through sports science (2019-1-ES01-KA203-065505) held its second Translational Project Meeting, between all the partners. Due to the Corona-Virus world crisis, the meeting was held Online.

The meeting was initially scheduled for May 7 in Cyprus. Nevertheless, due to the current situation, which makes it impossible to hold meetings and travel, the consortium has quickly adjusted to an Online version, on the same date.

The meeting was successful and the next steps of the project were discussed and defined.

Please stay tuned for the project’s website, coming in the next weeks. In the website the first result of the project will be published, a guide to the application of new technologies and the needs of professionals in clubs and academies.

Recall that the objective of this project is to reduce the distance between technology and sports clubs, providing tools that allow knowing the possibilities offered by new technologies for their work, their accessibility, and offering training resources to improve their adaptation.

ICD-4TVET

Interactive Curriculum Development for Technical Vocational Education and Training

Start: 01-09-2019 – End: 30-06-2022
Project Reference: 2019-1-EL01-KA202-063019

SEIT Research Laboratory (Software Engineering and Internet Technologies Laboratory) of the Computer Science department of the University of Cyprus participates in the ICD-4TVET project, started in September 2019, with a duration of 34 months.

ICD-4TVET is funded through the Erasmus + KA202 – Strategic Partnerships for Vocational Education and Training Call 2019.

The ICD-4TVET project’s main objective is to develop an open innovation concept and an approach to optimize and accelerate the process of creating curricula in the technical VET sector. This practical contribution is expected to be achieved by suggesting an Interactive Methodology for VET Curricula development able to incorporate market trends/needs, and respond to them in a fairly limited amount of time. This will be implemented through a digital platform with the appropriate tools to modify the curricula automatically. The digital platform developed in the context of the project will enable the labour market actors to define their needs as they occur on the basis of ESCO, so the other stakeholders–ranging from national authorities to individual VET schools–can adapt swiftly to these needs with the creation of adequate, flexible curricula and training programs.

The consortium for this project is made up of six organizations that will ensure the quality of the project in all its phases.

The partnership includes the following organizations:
– INSTITOUTO EKPEDEFTIKIS POLITIKIS (Coordinator), Greece
– Fundacja Rozwoju Aktywnosci Miedzynarodowej i Edukacyjnej – FRAME, Poland
– PANEPISTIMIO AIGAIOU, Greece
– UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS, Cyprus
– PEMU MUANYAGIPARI ZARTKORUEN MUKODORESZVENYTARSA SAG, Hungary
– bit Schulungscenter GmbH, Austria
