Current Projects

Cross the Bridge

Project period: 1.09.2017 - 31.05.2019
Funding: Erasmus + Strategic Partnership
Budget: 143 053 €
Partners: Lead partner: Árskoli, Iceland; IIS G. B. Pentasuglia, Italy; Mittelschule Gersthofen, Germany; Cross Culture International Foundation Cyprus Ltd, Cyprus; Lykeio A Ethnarchi Makariou III Pafou, Cyprus; Directorate of Secondary Education Ilia, Greece.

Objectives and activities

Cross the Bridge is a Erasmus+ Project which, in today`s reality of rising mobility and big move of people in Europe, is trying to offer integration solutions to the educational systems which are faced with numerous challenges. One of the weakest points in educational systems is primary education, where successful integration is supposed to begin, but where it also so often fails. Lack of help and guidance for students with foreign background (especially, newly-arrived) at schools exposes them to higher risks of bad attendance, low grades and, eventuall

y, dropping out of school.

The main aim of Cross the Bridge is to combine several streams of activities under one brand-initiative, which is the Welcoming Centre. Preparation, set up and operation of them, which will provide space, materials and solutions for involved teaching personnel, will become integrated with partner schools` activities to ensure that all needs of students with foreign background are met.

The proposed project aims to address the problems of three groups in a comprehensive way:

For students with foreign background – by creating a structure and capabilities for meeting their needs in a new environment;
For local students – by involving them in activities aimed at helping students with foreign background and through that bridging the communication divide between them, as well as improving tolerance levels in schools;
For teachers – by identifying strategies that are effective in dealing with students, providing technological solutions, trainings and other activities that would boost teachers` ability to successfully integrate even younger children.

Rethinking Regional Studies: the Baltic-Black Sea Connection (BBSR)

Project period: 15.10.2017 – 14.10.2020

I. Mechnikov University, Ukraine; Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine

Objectives and activities

The objective of the project is to modernise regional studies in Ukraine through implementing an English-language MA programme in the Baltic and Black Sea region studies. At its core, the project is meant to add value to Ukrainian universities in satisfying the need for comprehensive knowledge in the discipline of international relations and regional studies. The 2-year MA programme in Baltic and Black Sea Region studies, which will be implemented in English at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv (IFNUL), as well as the modules implemented in other Ukrainian universities, will provide an excellent opportunity for the students to obtain an interdisciplinary learning experience, combined with innovative teaching practices. The programme will be oriented for both Ukrainian and foreign students, whose academic interests or practical activities are closely related to the Baltic and the Black Sea Region.

The project also provides training to the Ukrainian teaching staff in modern teaching methodology and helps to modernise the teaching environment.

TEST-4-SME - Laboratory network for testing, characterisation and conformity assessment of electronic products developed by SMEs.

Project period: October 2017 - September 2020
Funding: Interreg Baltic Sea Region (BSR) / European Regional Development Fund
Total budget: 1 775 300 €
ERDF contribution: 1 453 195 €
Partners: University of Tartu (Leading Partner), Riga Technical University (LT), University of Latvia (LT), Ventspils University College (LT), Applied Research Institute for Prospective Technologies (LV), Centria University of Applied Sciences Ltd (FI), Hochschule Wismar, University of Applied Sciences: Technology, Business and Design (DE), JSC Modern E-Technologies (LV).

Objectives and activities

TEST-4-SME initiates an innovation support network in the Baltic Sea region to provide testing and consultation for electronics SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) during early product development. Tests and consultations focus on how to demonstrate conformity with international standards. All electronic products need to prove conformity to standards, which requires testing of product prototypes. Early stage testing can help avoid failures in later stages and can thus save costs.

The network members advise and train enterprises’ staff in conforming to standards and share knowledge across the network to improve the quality and efficiency of testing in order to speed up the process of product development for electronics enterprises.

In the scope of the project, seven enterprises test the network's services. The project compiles a list of electronics testing labs, creates governing rules for the network and analyses demand for existing testing services in the region. The network is open to other electronic testing labs. Some investments into testing equipment are planned. Laboratory staff is to be trained. Testing services are evaluated and the long-term sustainability strategy planned.

NEET U Re-mobilizing experienced and resourceful seniors as NEET brokers to help young people change depressed NEET situations

Project period: September 2015 – March 2018
Funding: Erasmus + programme Key Action 2
Project coordinator: Pistes Solidaires (France)
Partners: University of Tartu (Estonia), Consiliere Economico-Sociala Oltenia (Romania), Ekonomiski Institut Maribor (Slovenia), Fondazione Risorsa Donna (Italy), Associazione Centro Studi Foligno (Italy), Pere Tarres Foundation Barcelona (Spain), University of Chester (UK), Working with Europe (Spain)

Objectives and activities

Re-mobilizing experienced and resourceful seniors as NEET brokers to help young people change depressed NEET situations is one of the first attempts in Europe to systematically put the 21st century social innovation agenda to work: how can social change be brought about through new citizen-driven alliances in the communities, through mobilizing available resources for important needs and without putting additional pressure on public services? The NEET U project combines two of the most important social and educational challenges in 21st century Europe - re-activating the overwhelming social and educational potential of the increasing number of experienced seniors in society to help counter the dramatic increase in depressed social situations among young people with the mission to generate social and educational value from the dynamic interaction between these two “out of economy” population groups.
The project will produce and share the following key outcomes: project website, portfolios of senior social entrepreneuring and policy papers.

Objectives and activities

The aim of PANEL 2050 project is to create durable and replicable sustainable energy networks in Central and Eastern European countries at local (municipality/community) level, where relevant local stakeholders collaborate for the creation of a local energy visions, strategies and action plans for the transition towards low carbon communities in 2050. Central and Eastern Europe Sustainable Energy Network (CEESEN) is created to unite different energy actors in the region to become the new energy player on the EU energy market.

In the project University of Tartu:

Develops a high quality and interactive Energy Advocacy Training Curriculum for stakeholders in the energy efficiency field.
Creates the Energy Advocacy Guidebook that will contain practical exercises on how the energy transition can be carried out by readers, how to analyze their environment and how to develop the advocacy strategies.
Coordinates the implementation of the local capacity building actions with up to 300 local stakeholders from all over the CEE region.
Implements Forerunners Boot Camp – an intensive 2-week training for forerunners, who are leaders and key spokespeople related to advocacy efforts identified during the local actions.
Conducts Workshops on International Advocacy for the forerunner organizations on how can EU or broader energy policy affect the work of stakeholders/forerunners on local level and vice versa.

The PANEL 2050 project will not choose a specific focus on a certain type of stakeholder, but will try to work at the local level and assemble all relevant and available stakeholders related to sustainable energy. Introducing stakeholder concept to energy planning helps to generate sustainable energy policies and create more sustainable future for Europe
