The aim of the project is to incorporate the 6 priority courses in English into the sports management education of the three participating universities, using innovative e-learning techniques, which would provide students and teachers with important and useful knowledge in sports science education. As a result of the project, curricula are created that can be used immediately by the participating institutions and can be published as an optional lecture by enriching their education portfolio. The project is also the first step in a longer-term process in which the full programme of a complex 4-semester master's degree programme will be developed with additional curricula for sports manager education which is not the subject of current project. This will allow the Polish and Serbian partners involved in the project to accredit the programme as well as to upgrade the Hungarian partner's existing sports manager education in Hungarian and to launch the same education in English. This will enable the three partner institutions to play a decisive role in the field of sports manager education in the region and niche education can be launched especially in Serbia and Poland. It is also a long-term goal to develop double-degree educational programs among partner institutions whereby students in sports management education study lectures in different institutions during their educational period getting a diploma issued jointly by the partner institutions. The main task of the project is to establish a strategic partnership with the unity of three universities for the purpose of unified sports management education. In fact developing the curriculum for sports manager education, preparing e-learning materials (IO 1-6), educating teachers (IO 8) and creating an e-learning platform (IO 7) are priorities of the project. After creating the learning materials in text format, video and graphic demonstration materials will be created to expand the scope of use. The project's e-learning platform will not only include open access knowledge sharing among partner institutions and other institutions that may become involved, as well as flexible learning opportunities for students but will also prioritize learning opportunities for people with disabilities.

The demand for biomedical data scientists within and outside Europe is projected to grow 34% from 2014 to 2024, with bioinformaticians and biostatisticians as two of the highly demanded professions. This implies the need for proper education. While in the US and Western Europe there are already available academic programs at the Bachelor and Master levels that offer an adequate education in bioinformatics and biostatistics applied in life sciences, in Eastern and Central Europe there are unmet educational needs in this respect.Hence, the aim of the project is to support a change in the landscape related to the availability of well trained bioinformaticians and biostatisticians.This will be achieved by the following activities:- establishing a network of academics from three partner institutions from the Eastern, Central, and Western Europe, adequately positioned and capable of preparing educational programs aimed at training biostatisticians and applied bioinformaticians- exchange of expertise and best practices between the partner institutions - creating modular courses (Intellectual Output 1) that can be used in educational programs at master level- developing the corresponding e-learning materials (Intellectual Output 2) and their implementation allowing for their immediate use- investigation and creation of a roadmap of the legal framework (Intellectual Output 3) necessary for organization of transnational educational programs in biostatistics and/or bioinformatics applied in life sciences that will facilitate training in these domains.The expected results are:- increased educational potential of the partner institutions in the domain of bioinformatics and biostatistics applied in life sciences- creation of novel courses in the domain of bioinformatics and biostatistics applied in life sciences at the partner institutions- establishing foundation for future educational initiatives such as joint programs, student exchange schemes, etc. in bioinformatics and biostatistics applied in life sciences- collaborative ties between the partners strengthened organizationally, through the creation of common rules and practices in the area of communication and partnership. The partners will share knowledge, experience and good practices in the areas of research/education and administration, at the institutional and personal levels, which may in the future lead to other common endeavors. Additionally, the partner universities will engage in international partnership projects in which mainly activities will be connected with implementing new study programs or modifying the existing ones, enabling academic staff to do internship/training practices or any other initiatives aimed at internationalization of the academic community.The direct beneficiaries of the project will be the academic staff and scientists of the partner universities, and also their master students pursuing a career as bioinformaticians and biostatisticians. The groups indirectly benefiting from the project will include staff/physicians at university hospitals, scientific organizations and institutions collaborating with the partner universities, visiting scientists, local agencies responsible for management and development of science and education at the systemic level, universities from other countries looking for a collaboration in student/researcher/teacher exchange, and society in general including patients served by universities/hospitals.

The project responds to the current situation associated with the covid-19 epidemic and its impact on university teaching. It turns out that when moving teaching to the online environment, it is not possible to implement standard teaching procedures and it is necessary to develop new ways of working with students. The failure of the realization of the student exchange programs (Erasmus, Ceepus, etc.) minimizes the internationalization of studies and reduces the competences of students in intercultural contact. At the same time, the current situation provides an opportunity to accelerate the response to the development of digital technologies and to change the curricula of study programs to meet the requirements of the labor market (Industry 4.0). It turns out that the online implementation of semester activities requires a reduction in frontal teaching and an increase in students' independent research and study activities. To move to this type of work, it is necessary to motivate students with the increased social impact of their activities. The project therefore introduces the creation of electronic publications into teaching. The applicant has developed a new type of electronic publication next-book (the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic TL02000530). At the same time, in the first wave of the epidemic, UP tested teaching based on the creation of a next-book (in the OPVVV project, CZ.02.2.69 / 0.0 / 0.0 / 16_018 / 0002675): the protrusion is a next-book related to the covid 19 epidemic (communication with masks, etymology of new words, political rhetoric). The submitted project will introduce this method of teaching at participating universities (Debrecen, Lisbon, UP). The form of teaching takes the following form: courses that have interdisciplinary contact are identified at partner universities. Students will create a next-book in these courses in consultation with teachers, in which they will present the basic issues and questions for discussion. The next-book is created by the students themselves, they use the complete multimedia content of the Internet, interactive graphs, formulas, etc. When creating the publication, they share notes in the publication, chat about the topic and structure of the text. At the end of the semester, students publish a publication on the Internet (with an ISBN number) and present it to students from a partner institution. Students from the participating universities then comment on the content and method of processing the topic, proposing revisions. This aspect strengthens competences in foreign languages. The resulting next-books are then made available to the media and literary portals for reading by the general public.The proposed method of semester work at the university emphasizes the following aspects: a/ active participation of students in teaching and in the form of online teaching, b/ motivation of students to deeper knowledge of the studied topics to be able to write about it independently and create their own author's texts to be read , c/ establishing international cooperation as a standard course of the semester on the basis of a stable response to the learning outcomes of the partner institution.
