Information Technology (IT) is a key aspect for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). IT is present in almost all HEIs activities and, as a result of this importance, is a strategic asset that needs to be managed in an effective and efficient way. Moreover, IT will transform the way education is delivered, managed and accessed by students. On the other hand, IT Governance is one of the concerns for organizations all over the world. IT Governance is the organizational capacity to control the formulation and implementation of IT strategy and in this way ensure the fusion of business and IT. Apart from generic IT Governance models and standards (COBIT, Calde-Moir, ISO/IEC 38500, …), literature reported several efforts on IT Governance for HEIs, being University-oriented IT Governance Frameworks in Spain, one of the most important, cited and recent ones [1] and the pioneering work from Juiz [2]. This project is aimed to gather a set of researchers from four european universities with a wide experience in developing and deploying IT Governance (including ITG4U and dFogit) framework models from three different countries (Spain, Germany and Norway) to develop, adapt and test a new IT governance framework to be implemented in several Universities in Tunisia. Expected results of this project include a better governance model for IT in Tunisian HEIs as well as an overall modernization of the governance processes for HEIs and a contribution of the cooperation between EU and Tunisia.

PRODUCTIVE4.0 - AMBITIOUS PROJECT WITH A UNIQUE MAIN OBJECTIVE The main objective of Productive4.0 is to achieve improvement of digitising the European industry by electronics and ICT. Ultimately, the project aims at suitability for everyday application across all industrial sectors – up to TRL8. It addresses various industrial domains with one single approach of digitalisation. What makes the project unique is the holistic system approach of consistently focusing on the three main pillars: digital automation, supply chain networks and product lifecycle management, all of which interact and influence each other. This is part of the new concept of introducing seamless automation and network solutions as well as enhancing the transparency of data, their consistence and overall efficiency. Currently, such a complex project can only be realised in ECSEL. The consortium consists of 45% AENEAS, 30% ARTEMIS-IA, 25% EPOSS partners, thus bringing together all ECSEL communities. Representing over 100 partners from 19 EU and other associated countries, it is a European project, indeed. HANDS-ON SOLUTIONS FOR THE EUROPEAN DIGITAL INDUSTRY • Productive4.0 tackles technological and conceptual approaches in the field of Industry 4.0. The term comprises IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), CPS (Cyber Physical Systems) and Automation. • The innovation project takes a step further towards hands-on solutions. In the process, practical reference implementations such as 3D printerfarms, customised production or self-learning robot systems will benefit in fields like service-oriented architecture (SOA), IOT components & infrastructures, process virtualisation or standardisation. These fields are addressed in the work packages WP1 through WP6. • In addition to furnishing the industry with tailor-made digital solutions, the Productive4.0 Framework will be provided. • Productive4.0 is a brain pool initiated to strengthen the international leadership of the European industry.

This project has been initiated by Backatorpsskolan in Gothenburg, as the school board recognises the goal 4.7 in Agenda 2030: Education for sustainable development and global citizenship as a considerable challenge. The school acknowledges the need for help from other countries’ curriculum work, and the need for research to develop teaching approaches that are available for teaching for sustainability and resilience.Our project aims to address the challenges we face today regarding issues of sustainability and the challenges of how education can meet the new generations’ call for action as demonstrated by the massive school walkouts in 2019-2020. The participating partners in this project believe that educating for sustainability and resilience needs to move away from instructing students in predictable directions and move towards providing them with a sense of agency. Therefore, schools need to incorporate innovative teaching and learning approaches that consider the complexity of sustainability.This project is based on a holistic approach to issues related to sustainability, integrating environmental, social and economic issues into teaching while involving students in the learning process and preparing them for the future. The main purpose of our project is to enhance qualitative learning opportunities regarding sustainability, using the student-active Storyline approach as a framework for learning and teaching. Subsequently, the underlying aim is to develop the pedagogical approach of Storyline itself, foremost as a pedagogical tool to increase learning for sustainability. A priority is to inspire students, student teachers, and teacher practitioners to view themselves as agents of change.Five European countries and their school systems and eight different organisations are included in this project. In order to achieve the project’s goals that address the complexity of issues of sustainability, the project needs to be carried out transnationally and include individuals from different age groups, disciplines, trades, organisations. At the transnational meetings, different elements of the Storyline approach that uniquely support issues of sustainability will be presented, providing an opportunity for exchanges between different public sectors. During these meetings, teacher practitioners, student teachers, school pupils, and researchers will play an active role in developing the criteria for identifying these successful elements. Experiences and reflections throughout the project will be shared through a resource bank which will bring together practices that address sustainability and resilience. In between project meetings, all participants will continue to develop their experiences from the different events which will be addressed at every project meeting. Continuous development will be formed according to the needs of the organization. For example, some participating partners may develop the Storyline approach through environmental studies, studies on self-awareness, children’s health. All development aims at finding collaborative and proactive approaches to the issues of sustainability.The context of the project is education in compulsory schools and teacher education on two levels; practice in the primary school classroom explored by teachers, student teachers and students; theory explored by researchers studying and examining the practices. The intention for using different contexts and different levels is to produce new knowledge of the educational processes necessary to develop the Storyline approach for teaching and learning about sustainability. The findings of the actions of the participating partners will be discussed with experts on the Storyline approach, and the results will be published as video films, research and non-research articles, and topic outlines all shared on a website. In addition, the process, findings, and results will be discussed and shared during a Storyline conference in Gothenburg and at a dissemination conference in Stockholm.The main outcome of the project is an open educational resource bank, focusing on approaches for teaching and learning about sustainability and resilience. The resource bank will highlight the specific qualities in the Storyline approach that support teaching and learning about sustainability. The resource bank will contain research articles, filmed lectures, teachers’ plans and motivational videos. A long-term effect will be to strengthen the collaboration and networks of participation locally and internationally. Research results can be used in didactical discussions on all pedagogical levels and can be useful in developing future-oriented curricula. On a broader and longer-term basis, the innovative practices developed in this project can positively impact human behavioural changes, changes for individual preferences, consumption habits, and lifestyles that will support sustainability which is the basis of life on Earth.
