The project brings EU expertise to develop operational frameworks and institutional guidelines for data sharing, ICT solutions for data-driven pilots, innovative curricula including degree courses, microcredentials and challenge-based learning, and capacity-building activities for higher education institutions and local communities.
During its lifetime, ENTER will pilot 5 living labs and 4 citizen science projects, develop 70 ECTS of degree and microcredential courses, run 3 hackathons and make learning materials available through the ENTERnet learning platform. The project supports EU Global Gateway priorities, the Green Deal, digital transformation, transparent governance and sustainable growth.
