Analysing and improving the impact of our partnership
The objective is to ensure continuous scientific guidance through design-based research, bridging the gap between educational research and practice. We aim to connect people interested in academic research and promote turn the activities into long-term partnerships.
The EuroTeQ Connector assesses the interaction with different societal actors and ensures the quality of the project and the impact of a paradigm change in education. It is our aim to institutionalise the active engagement with our associated partners to co-create the pilot phase and ensure the project’s long-term sustainability.
EuroTeQ Connector – co-creating with society
The overall vision of the project is to become the leading eco-system for collaborative responsible value creation in technology in including all relevant stakeholders in technological innovation processes. To make this vision reality by 2030, we need to analyse and learn from the experiences gained during the three years project span. It is necessary that we not only monitor our activities carefully but also feedback the result of our observations in the different output parts of our project, reshaping it in an agile manner.

EuroTeQ upskilling strategy – training professionals
Throughout the project’s lifespan, we will study a cohort of students longitudinally, and their career development and encounters with the EuroTeQ Engineering University will record for their studies. This feedback loop will also include the student cohorts participating in the Collider.
Our goal is to monitor our teaching offers, create evidence on the attitudes and values of the current student body, and see to what extent the connections to the EuroTeQ activities make a difference. The results will help us improve our educational approaches further and prepare the students for future challenges.
We want to comprehensively understand how student attitudes and values in the current times (attitudes towards European Values, the European Union, digitalization, sustainability, social responsibility, social entrepreneurship skillset, stress resistance) are evolving and how they connect to our teaching activities.
EuroTeQ Manifesto – evaluating the impact of co-creative education
We will analyse the EuroTeQ partners’ needs in terms of institutional strategies for reflexivity and develop a ‘EuroTeQ Manifesto’ for institutionalization. It will investigate how universities can engage with their surroundings by developing “learning networks”. We also will design an approach to evaluate the impact of co-creative education for innovation and understand its scalability. With that, our partnerhsip will reinforce the impact of university research and innovation and build sustainable involvement and engagement with citizens and civil society.
