To do this the project will develop the following materials:

  1. An online Knowledge hub which will host all of the final materials of the EHECADI project.
  2. A co-designed Virtual Community of Practice that will share knowledge between academia and other stakeholders as well as detect societal needs and steer the international final graduate dissertations towards them.
  3. A co-designed digital open course for students that will enhance responsible research, the acquisition of digital and transversal skills through the length of the degree length. The course will follow the principles of universal design and it will empower students to be global-minded citizens, more sensitized towards societal needs, and with easier access to employment.
  4. A set of guidelines for students, teachers, and institutions to support the use of the International Final Graduate Dissertation.

Target Groups:
