RTU coordinates Erasmus+ Key Action 2 (KA2) Strategic Partnership Project No. 2017-1-LV01-KA203-035426 «Education, Business and Community Cooperation Model for a Creative European Engineering Education » (EBCC Model).
EBCC Model - a model for education, entrepreneurship and local government cooperation in the development of creative European engineer’s education. The project aims to develop a model of university, industry, local government cooperation and guidelines for its implementation.
Cooperation with regional authorities is an important aspect of the university's activities. European higher educational institutions have established a network of partners, including regional authorities and other stakeholders. Often cooperating with local authorities on an occasional basis through contracts. This cooperation should therefore be made systematic, long-term, mutually understandable and desirable.
The creation of such a collaborative model will allow for the development of advanced study programs based on real regional challenges, thereby improving the practical experience of students, facilitating the involvement of higher educational institutions in addressing regional business challenges, as well as enhancing the cooperation of academic staff with representatives of regional authorities.
