About

Four top European

universities jointly engaged in

building resilience through a

multidisciplinary educational

initiative for smart,

sustainable and collaborative

cities.

RESICITIES   is   a   project   funded   by   the   key   action Strategic   Partnerships   for   higher   education   under Erasmus+      programme.      IT      involves      a      joint cooperation    between    top    universities    from    the following     countries:     Czech     Republic,     Norway, Portugal    and    France.    The    consortium    has    two technical    universities    and    two    business    schools which      in      turn      is      expected      to      provide      a multidisciplinary   approach   in   higher   education   for postgraduate     students     in     the     field     of     smart, sustainable and collaborative cities. The       project       is       aimed       to       provide              a multidisciplinary      formation      to      postgraduate students     by     means     of     an     innovative     online educational      resources      platform      (OER)      and blended     learning     mobility     activities     on     topics related    to    smart,    sustainable    and    collaborative cities.    It    will    also    provide    educational    resources for   academic   staff   of   partner   universities   in   topics such   as   university   social   responsibility,   innovation management     in     academia     and     in     academic entrepreneurship. The   assigned   lecturers   of   partner   universities   will develop    several    modules    that    will    form    eight courses,      being      five      of      them      oriented      to postgraduate      students      and      three      of      them oriented   to   academic   staff.   Each   course   will   be composed     by     asynchronous     online     learning sessions    and    followed    by    an    intensive    week    of face-to-face   classes   with   the   lecturers   either   in   the classroom   or   online,   depending   on   the   situation regarding the covid-19 pandemic. The   consortium   will   also   organize   two   multiplier events   in   order   to   promote   and   disseminate   the educational   resources   that   will   be   made   available in   the   OER   platform.   Among   expected   attendees of    these    events    will    be    representatives    of    local public   organizations,   NGOs,   enterprises   and   other universities or technical schools.
