Erasmus+ Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices (KA2) Compendium 2014 Knowledge Alliances Erasmus+ English Version Programme ERASMUS+ KA2: Knowledge Alliances Introduction Every year the Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) publishes Compendia of all projects selected for funding under the annual Call for proposals of the Erasmus+ Programme. The present publication is dedicated to the projects awarded in 2014 under the centralised actions of the Key Actions 2: Knowledge Alliances. The Compendia are part of the EACEA's contribution to a better dissemination of information about ongoing projects and networking among project coordinators. In the Compendia you will find a short description of each project, the contact details of the beneficiary and coordinating organisations and a list of partners initially involved in the project. Please note the present Compendium reflects the state of projects at the end of the selection stage, which means that data such as duration, composition of the partnership or contact details may change during the lifetime of the project. Please also note that project descriptions included in this Compendium are provided by the applicants at the application stage. For further information please use the indicated contact details. In order to complete the picture, below you will find a brief overview of the aims and objectives of the KA2: Knowledge Alliances sub-programme and some figures from the selection results. Knowledge Alliances aim at strengthening Europe's innovation capacity and at fostering innovation in higher education, business and the broader socio-economic environment. They intend to achieve one or more of the following aims: - develop new, innovative and multidisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning; - stimulate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial skills of higher education teaching staff and enterprise staff; - facilitate the exchange, flow and co-creation of knowledge. Knowledge Alliances are transnational, structured and result-driven projects, notably between higher education and business. Knowledge Alliances are open to any discipline, sector and to cross-sectoral cooperation. The partners share common goals and work together towards mutually beneficial results and outcomes. Knowledge Alliances are meant to have a short and long term impact on the wide range of stakeholders involved, at individual and systematic level. As a general rule, Knowledge Alliances target the cooperation between organisations established in Programme Countries. However, organisations from Partner Countries can be involved in a Knowledge Alliance as partners (not as applicants) if their participation brings an essential added value to the project. Of the 230 proposals submitted, 6 were initially selected. Additional funding allowed to select 4 projects from the reserve list as well.

This Alliance will result in a facilitated sector adaptation during crisis processes through a better anticipation and positive management of change, via the training of a new generation of strategic managers able to foster stronger synergies between innovation, skills and jobs. Starting from companies' needs, a pan-European MOOC (Massive Online Learning Course) will be developed in 8 different EU languages, educating the future T&C Managers for export, marketing, innovation, sustainability and entrepreneurship oriented companies. Activities • Development of sectorial methods for anticipation of skills needs • Implementation of specific initiatives that stimulate employers to co-invest in the activities of HEIs, research and business centres to address new skills requirements • Development of a new flexible, innovative learning approach and delivery method for the T&C HEI sector, taking into account barriers existing among SMEs and based on experiential learning / real-life situations • Set up of the EU curricula of the new professional figure of the TECLOM, endowed with more advanced social, entrepreneurial and management skills • Development of flexible devices for validation and recognition of entrepreneurship skills, using ECVET principles • Providing the sector with a MOOC for the new TECLOM – a freely accessible and openly licensed online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web – with a strong use of simulation and real-life situations • Pilot the MOOC on 160 among T&C university students and managers (8 Learning Labs) • Set up of a European Development Network for TECLOM pooling the assets of universities, research centres, SMEs and large companies together.

It responds to the problem of increasing fragmentation in the field of innovation promotion, especially the dislocation between those who generate knowledge that could spur innovation (HEIs), and those who can translate that knowledge into marketable strategies and use it to produce economic growth (SMEs). Since the SME sector accounts for 99% of all businesses, provides two thirds of private sector jobs and contributes more than half of the total value-added created by businesses in the EU, the implementation of greater innovation in SMEs in an effective and cost–efficient way is vital to fulfilling not only Europe’s economic objectives, but also those of a more equal and productive society with higher social and economic integration. To achieve its goals, the project entails: • Development of 4 Territorial Innovation Alliances involving 70+ stakeholders in 5 countries (Ireland + UK, Germany, Spain, Romania) • Development, piloting, publishing and promotion of open access, digital learning resource for European SMEs, training
