Year: 2020 - 2023
The EuroTeQ Engineering University builds on the belief that societal developments of recent years call for strong University Alliances to make the Knowledge Square of Education, Research, Innovation and Service to Society a reality and its impact a benefit to Europe and beyond. As six leading Universities of Science and Technology, spread across Europe, situated in innovation eco-systems and with great collaboration experience, we are equipped to introduce a paradigm shift in the engineering education of the future, aspiring responsible value co-creation in technology. In three years' time all these measures will have notably promoted the cooperation between the individual Partner Universities, across faculties and central units. It will have significantly improved the seamless mobility of students and faculty, who have to a great extend joined in the pilots. The joint efforts of the Partner Universities aim to develop and integrate training formats that expand the perspective to non-academic target groups and professionals, which will diversify the skills and competence base of Europe. Bridging the gap between different groups in society will enhance social permeability. The students participating in the new formats of the EuroTeQ Engineering University will have gained a deeper understanding of the specific qualifications of other professional groups, especially non-academics, international fellow students and experienced practitioners. They will have acquired multilingual skills necessary for the interaction with non-academics involved. The developments will have provided already notable impulses for extended eco-systems beyond the Partner Universities for collaborative education in technology-oriented occupational fields.
