EuroTeQ in a nutshell
In addition to the above, the EuroTeQ Engineering University has the goal to bridge a gap of students from member country universities when transitioning from the student world to the corporate world, including via joint university events.
Willingness to keep learning is expected to remain mandatory, incl. through participant promotion based on a good experience with the project.
The project is to overcome a still existing level of fragmentation of member universities through a system of workload organization in the form of Work Packages.
EuroTeQ Grant Agreement
The Grant Agreement is the founding document of the project, defining the mandatory project participants, goals, budget.
The wording applied throughout the document is handled as a pure business contract and is worded accordingly. Despite being very precise where it matters, in some cases a certain level of interpretional skills are required as well.
Although the document itself is not public, the table of contents should provide a rough overview of what aspects of the contract are addressed.
EuroTeQ Structure
The Grant Agreement defined workload is divided into six Work Packages (WPs), each with their own focus. Concurrently however, each WP consists of a dedicated lead university, with other establishments providing assistance. This guarantees mutual cooperation and therefore leads to accomplishing the EU declared goals.
