Project name: Improved workforce to set transition from manufacturing to digital green fabrication

Project code: DIGIGREEN

Project timeline: 2022 - 2023

Research group: Manufacturing and Industrial Management

Objective

Setting a strong support for the industrial sectors in the long process of transition from the traditional manufacturing to the digital and green manufacturing of their manufacturing systems – Setting an innovative system of training, which is able to offer in the same time: digital literacy, competences to switch to digital manufacturing, and competences to switch to low carbon prints and eco-labelling manufacturing – Setting a strong answer to the European effort in the development of digital education for the improvement of the actual learning conditions (need for short-term training sessions) through the promotion of the enhancement of digital integration in e-learning and the open access to educational resources by sharing best practices – Design, elaborate, and implement a European virtual learning platform for the manufacturing sector addressed to new and advanced contents integrated into a greater variety of innovative learning practices; a strong teaching and learning digital tool in cooperation with new designed methodologies to implement a mix of microcourses and webinars way of learning – Enable ICT to make VET more flexible in opportunities, and support a strategic use and access to educational resources at different levels, which means a fostering of new digital learning opportunities in an accessible, innovative, and flexible way – Improve the high level of digital and transversal skills development for teachers and trainees, employed or not in a lifelong perspective – By addressing the 7P (the most used manufacturing processes), DIGIGREEN increases its dedication to all relevant industrial sectors – Assures a high transparency of competences for the manufacturing sector, by describing learning outcomes for each microlearning and webinars activity
