About Glocal
GLOCAL – innovative training of future engineers responding to problems of contemporary cities. 2019-1-PL01-KA203-065654
GLOCAL is a project that shows future engineers how to think globally and act locally.
It responds to the current needs of the European labor market and it pays attention on the standard of living in cities, expectations addressed to the engineering industry, the availability of ITC technology and mobility’s needs. Engineers working in the broadly understood architectural, construction and civil engineering industry must demonstrate the skills of creative action and cooperation in interdisciplinary and international teams of designers and contractors. A consortium of 3 European universities will carry out the main objective of the project. The academic staff will improve its skills in a modern education as well as exchange of interdisciplinary knowledge and establishing scientific contacts, during three short training sessions.
40 months (01.09.2019 – 31.12.2022)
Funding from the Erasmus + program: 300 860,00 euro
Project participants
The most important project outcome will be an innovative summer school, in the form of 2 parts of the course with teachers (2 weeks in Spain and 2 weeks in Poland/Lithuania) and an e-learning part. Teaching methods developed in the consortium will be tested on two groups of 24 students in summer 2020 and 2021. All products verified during the courses (course syllabus, didactic and e-learning materials, e-laboratories, e-dictionary) will be available free of charge on the GLOCAL website. There will be also a book and a guide to good design practices in the e-book version. The printed version will be sent free to the libraries of 30 universities. The innovative GLOCAL module will be included in the programs of partner universities and offered to students from various universities as an optional subject (6 ECTS), thus it will be possible to increase the attractiveness of technical studies, complement the program with modern achievements of ICT technologies. Participants of the GLOCAL project will broaden their knowledge and skills, as well as get to know the cultural values of cities and partner university countries. Local government administration and professional engineers will gain the opportunity to influence the education process and at the same time expand their own knowledge. The GLOCAL module will prepare students for the labor market’s changing needs, thereby it will positively affect local and global economic development.
The GLOCAL project will provide several events in partner countries, addressed to diversify target audience, to disseminate the results of GLOCAL project, promote the idea of the Erasmus + program and encourage events’ participants to improve their competences using intellectual outputs. In addition, the GLOCAL project assumes dissemination of scientific work’s results among local and regional government authority and administration to help them make planning and investment decisions to improve the standard of living in cities and their economic development.
