The programs developed will meet the needs of companies / medical structures in need of specialists capable of improving health security and managing the quality of health care. The implementation of the project must / will be based on a broad interinstitutional partnership to guarantee the sustainability of the results.The ministries of education and health will support the project in partner countries. They will guarantee compliance with standards for the sustainability of the new training offer.Professional organizations and medical structures will be the guarantors of professional outlets for training courses for graduates.

"Textile and clothing sector has traditionally been one of the most important sectors of activity in Europe. In the last decades, the sector of traditional textile and clothing has been shrinking as result of the globalization and of the emerging of new industries in Asia. However, the importance of the sector still remains significant in terms of employment with 3 million jobs in Europe and ponderable GDP (gross domestic product). The emerge of nanotechnology, wearable electronics, digital designing, etc. researches provide new opportunities for development of textiles with advanced properties. The main aim of the project TEXMODA was to develop a massive open on-line course (MOOC) ""Advanced Technologies for Textile and Fashion Industry"" with corresponding Competence profile, Curriculum, Learning materials, which is open to every interested person, however the target audiences of the the MOOC are students at higher education in clothing, textile and fashion departments and recent graduates; SME's employees working in textile and fashion industry; VET graduates of clothing, textile and fashion that want to upgrade their skills and competences. The MOOC is available in www.upvx.es. The course was implemented in English language and translated in five partners languages (Lithuanian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek). The MOOC was pilot delivered, with the target to reach an audience from all Europe and not only from the partners’ countries. Geography of students enrolled into the pilot MOOC is very wide and not limited by European countries, there are students from all continents, i. e. also from Africa, Asia, America, Australia. The partners of the project were: Kaunas University of Technology, KTU, Lithuania (coordinator); Technological Educational Institute of Piraeus, PUAS, Greece, which after structural changes changed the name into University of West Attica; AINTEK SYMVOULOI EPICHEIRISEON EFARMOGES YPSILIS TECHNOLOGIAS EKPAIDEFSI ANONYMI ETAIREIA, IDEC, Greece; Universidade da Beira Interior, UBI, Portugal; Universitat Politècnica de València, UPV, Spain; ECOLE NATIONALE SUPERIEURE DES ARTS ET INDUSTRIES TEXTILES, ENSAIT, France; Lithuanian Clothing and Textile Industry Association, LATIA, Lithuania; Hellenic Clothing Industry Association, HCIA, Greece. Participants from partners institutions participated in the Train the trainer course developed during the project. The Multiplier events, organized to promote the newly developed MOOC, were attended by more than 350 participants. Project Logo, website, Facebook profile, leaflets were developed at the beginning of the project. 4 project newsletters were developed and distributed in each project semester (4 numbers in total). Brochure (in English and partners languages), posters, roll-ups were used in various events. Project results were presented in international conferences, fashion and trade fairs, workshops, seminars, summer schools, face-to-face meetings, etc., and published in journals, newspapers, partners institutional websites, etc. The project has a truly European dimension. TEXMODA addresses the need of European HE to open up education, addressing the Communication of the European Commission “Opening up Education: Innovative teaching and learning for all through new technologies and Open Educational Resources”. At national level, the project triggered the participating Universities to build their capacity to develop more massive, open, online courses and open educational resources and to gain expertise in particular field between the partners. The MOOC will be used as a part of courses in Universities curriculum as complementary material. Accreditation process of individual modules of the MOOC has started, however it is a long process. At international level, the project promotes European Higher education institutes to the new world of massive open on-line education and facilitate their internationalization. Collaboration on the project allowed to expand number of contacts at European level meeting new partners."

European farming is strongly affected by the high-impact of climate change emerging as a major threat on agriculture in Europe and across the world. Even though the digital transformation of agriculture promises to solve numerous environmental, economic and societal problems, and important steps have taken place towards this goal, agriculture sector is the least digitized of all major productive activities. By increasing digitalisation and adopting climate-smart practices in agricultural makes it is possible to produce products with ever higher efficiency and ever lower environmental impact. However, adoption of a climate-smart agriculture is not only a farmers’ concern. It is an interdisciplinary issue for agronomists, ICT experts, farmers, breeders etc. that Higher Education Institutions need to respond by developing new skills and technologies in their curricula.SmartROOT focuses on the preparation of a new Joint Master Degree program in the field of Mixed Farming Systems (MFS) by introducing user-friendly ICT tools to improve the resilience of agriculture subject to climate change. The rational is not only to prepare an international master degree program. It is also to actively involve students in the preparation process, receive their assessment and feedback on the ICT tools and material developed in terms of their operability, the user-friendly environment, the knowledge gained, the extent of international cooperation and the extent of satisfaction of their expectations. It will be a dynamic, inter-active process which ends to a Joint Master Degree program ready to run after the completion of the project.SmartROOT not only aims to prepare the future professionals in the agricultural sector, but also promotes ways for small and medium-sized farms to benefit from the new technologies by introducing and familiarising farmers to digital technologies. Farmers will gain knowledge on methodologies to foster the synergies between agricultural production, climate change mitigation and adaptation. SmartROOT expected results can be summarised in the following lines:1) Build an international Joint Master Degree (JMD) program in Mixed Farming Systems ready to run after the completion of the project2) Actively involve students to the preparation, test and assessment of a JMD prior its official launch3) Enforce students’ insight to perceive the global trends on the agriculture domain in combination to climate change mitigation4) Increase students’ and stakeholders (e.g. farmers) awareness on environment friendly agricultural trends to minimise the climate change consequences5) Bridge the needs of agriculture experts and ICT scientists and familiarise farmers with ICT technological advancements6) Develop open educational and management platforms available to be used by individual farmers and agriculture professionals7) Act as a stepping stone towards the new challenge for HEIs in Europe as described under the Erasmus+ program: to create a network in the frame of the European Universities initiative SmartROOT’s results will be achieved through the following outputs:- O1 MFS e-book - O2 Open Hub for Knowledge Exchange - O3 SmartROOT Virtual Farm Hub- O4 MFS Educational Management Platform - O5 Augmented Reality Learning Environment - O6 SmartROOT Assessment Toolkit and Curriculum preparation1.Introduce the context of CSA and Mixed Farming Systems to HEIs involved through co-design of their curricula2.Educate students to new technological solutions for climate smart agriculture such as such as smart sensors, robots, UAVs, advanced tracking systems, long-range IoT-enabled sensors, middleware and gateways for extending the size of the potential monitoring area, facilitating, thus, data collection and processing of different farming systems at the same time, enabling optimal decisions,3.Develop an Open Access Climate-Smart agriculture platform to foster, support and promote Mixed Farming Systems (MFS), by facilitating the design, the deployment, and the management of crop-livestock-forestry combinations towards sustainable, efficient, and climate-aware MFS systems.4.Develop a continuous training platform, in the national language of each partner’s country, designed for the socio-professional network and based on the content and results of the 3-year project 5.Foster a European network between academia, experienced farmers and stakeholders, to engage end-users and allow exchange of knowledge on best practices on various combinations of mixed farming systems

The textile industry is the second largest industrial sector in Tunisia accounting for 161k jobs. However, the sector lacks innovation and competitiveness which caused a negative loss of employment of over 4k jobs a year during the last few years. The main barrier for the Tunisian textile industry is the low-value-added products that drives an intense competition in addition to the lack of own product. In this context, WINTEX project is oriented to the creation of innovation textiles centers to address the lack of competitiveness of the Tunisian textile sector with the support from Erasmus+ program by bringing EU expertise, idea and experience exchange, financial support and capacity building at Tunisian institutions oriented towards increasing the latent innovation capacity available in the country. In addition, WINTEX also aims to create an Academy Textile Industry council as a point of interaction and networking among HEIs and industrial partners. The main objective WINTEX project is to foster innovation and cooperation in Tunisian textile sector with transfer of knowledge from EU. The specific objectives will be the cration of 3 innovation textiles’ centers in the three Tunisian HEIs (ISMMM, USF and ISET), to build capacity program addressed to the centers operators and the creation of the Academia Textile Industry Council as a platform for collaboration among Tunisian stakeholders. The project will boost participation of students and staff in the textile centers by means of traineeships in order to set in place a collaborative and innovative mindset to the future generation of the textile industry technicians and managers. Ultimately, the goal is to weave innovation among academia and industry to support the development of innovations and entrepreneurship in the textile sector in Tunisia providing students, researchers and professionals in textile field with competencies and skills needed by the market.
