THE 5-DOOR APPROACH TO ELEARNING FOR THE INTERREG EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH, SOCIAL, AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION MANAGEMENT (EXCELLENCE-IN-RESTI)

12 partners from 9 countries in the Danube Region formed a collaborative learning community to design, test, and offer a quality Excellence in Research, Social and Technological Innovation Project Management Programme with the core purpose of increasing the capacity for EU project acquisition, planning, and implementation. The project is funded by the EU Interreg Danube Transitional Programme and lead by The Centre for Social Innovation (ZSI), Vienna, Austria. The target audience are young professionals, but the programme is open to all interested learners. The curriculum is composed of five modules and 20 classes—offering information, advice, theories, processes, methods and tools to lead participants to success with their projects. The classes are structured to align with the ECTS credit system in EU universities and participants will earn a Certificate of Completion from the Project Consortium. The curriculum will be piloted during an entire year with three face-to-face events, but is intended to be offered fully online and completed through self-assessment in each step.
