Summary:

The DIGITRANS project aims to increase graduates’ employability, support sustainable growth and jobs at Ukraine and Moldova through
implementation the supporting measures:
- Integration of research and training in such a way that students have the opportunity to conduct research at partner universities and enterprises. Introduction integrated thematic complexes that will give students the opportunity to achieve additional learning outcomes.
-Development of innovative educational programs related to the ecological and energy-efficient mode of electrical engineering, information and computer systems, cybersecurity, automatic control engineering, electrical and electronic equipment, engineering and management in road transport, electro mobiles, automotive manufacturing, as well as necessary competences of transversal skills and entrepreneurship knowledge.
-Development and implementation in the educational process of Double Diploma programs between European and Ukrainian, Moldavian universities
-Introduction of innovative practical training schemes closely related to business, e.g., internship, professional courses at enterprises, etc.
-Digitalization of education with practical training of students in specific programs required by business, e.g. specific software for diagnostics, repair and maintenance of a modern type of transport, etc.
-Development of virtual and remote practice (labs), e.g. classes for modelling, simulation, building and debugging models, etc.
-Developing Sharing Remote Experiment Environment as a digital distributed educational infrastructure supporting the Digital Learning Ecosystem.
-Developing an open interface for interconnection of Digital Learning Ecosystem to the forthcoming Open Universities Platform in Ukraine.
-Providing an opportunity to academic staff and students fleeing from Ukraine or internally displaced as refugees to be involved in an education process through the Digital Learning Ecosystem of DIGITRANS.

Activities:
The project implementation will be arranged in six work packages. The input to WP1 will be provided by preliminary investigation of statistic information, interviews and surveys arranged by Ukrainian and Moldavian beneficiaries (in more details see Ch 1.2 Needs analysis and specific objectives). The outputs of WP1 will be utilised by WP2 and WP3, e.g. the data about equipment and software maintained by laboratories that is collected in WP1, will be useful for development of remote labs that is one of the tasks of WP3. Outputs from WP6 – manuals, procedures, questionnaire forms developed in a frame of QA setup, will be utilised be WP4 and other ones. The outputs of WP3, for example, such as methodical documents to acquisition and piloting of SREE, will be used for teaching academic and technical staff at workshops, and training schools that are planned in WP4. The outputs from WP2, 3, and 4 will be communicated, disseminated and sustained through the activities of WP5.
