SKILLS+ - Soft skills development programme for micro-companies in ICT sector

Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Over 99% of ICT firms in Europe are SMEs, of which about 90% are micro-sized companies with 1-9 employees. It's hard to overemphasize their importance to the sector and economy in general, but at the same time there is much to be done to improve competitiveness and sustainability of these micro-businesses. While most of them possess strong technical or so-called hard skills, the soft skills are mu ...

Fully artificial photo-electrochemical device for low temperature hydrogen production (ArtipHyction)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2015,

Leaves can split water into O2 and H2 at ambient conditions exploiting sun light. James Barber, one of the key players of ArtipHyction, elucidated Photosystem II (PSII), the enzyme that governs this process. In photosynthesis, H2 is used to reduce CO2 and give rise to the various organic compounds needed by the organisms or even oily compounds which can be used as fuels. However, a specific enzyme ...

Transfer and Recognition of an eFacilitator Curriculum and Qualification

The key ambition of the project was an innovation transfer of a curriculum for e-facilitators. An already existing, but “de-contextualized” curriculum was translated and adapted according to the needs in the three transfer receiving countries Germany, Latvia and Portugal. "Transfer" in this case meant that an already existing curriculum (focusing on teaching, networking, management competences and ...
