TERRATECH – masTERs course on smArt Agriculture TECHnologies, Erasmus+ (621568-EPP-1-2020-1-PT-EPPKA2-KA) ,"Over the past 5 years the Industry 4.0 revolution managed to rapidly transform all major industrial sectors, including the agricultural domain where the total addressable market is expected to reach 26.8 billion by 2020. The agricultural IoT infrastructure transformation is enabling crop producers to receive status information from interconnect farms, crops, crop/field, equipment, storage and livestock. Agricultural corporations down to small family farms are now able to monitor the entire plantation ecosystem, spanning from: crop field physical parameters (temperature, light, humidity, soil moisture etc), local climatic conditions and control its irrigation, fertilisation and automation (greenhouses). In contrast, formal Agricultural IoT training on development, installation, service, maintenance & sustainability awareness is at its infancy, especially in the EU. The masTERs course on smArt Agriculture TECHnologies (TERRATECH) project aims to develop an advanced interactive certified MSc course related to Agricultural IoT applications that will train individuals with the necessary skills & knowledge to work in the rising “Smart/Precision Agriculture” industry. The course is also formulated to stimulate transversal competences such as the increased sense of initiative & entrepreneurship. It will follow the ECTS credit standards for certification recognition across the EU. The innovative curriculum is comprised by interactive teaching methods & partnerships with expert academic & agriculture organisations to give to the students a solid background for starting a fruitful career in the industry. The course duration is 8 months, plus a 1-month maritime (on the job) experience. In addition, in 2 mobility periods, the students & educators from one university will travel to the other and vice-versa, to participate in the large-scale laboratories, whereas a 3rd period is reserved for the agricultural on-the-job training.", https://www.terratechmsc.eu/, 2021-2024

Bridging the Gap An AI enabled versatile skill matching tool to assist the less privileged, Erasmus+ KA220-YOU Cooperation partnerships in Youth, "The job market is continuously evolving. The specific occupations, skills, competences and qualifications that people need change over time, as does their description. To deal with this, effective and intelligent communication and information exchange between the job market and the education and training sector is vital. On the other hand, and from the perspective of the individual (job seeker), especially the less privileged there is a need for approaches that combine practical tools with motivation and mentoring support since skill-matching it is not enough, skill-building is also needed. Currently, job matching is increasingly carried out on the web (e.g. LinkedIn, EURES), that could lead to even a tedious and error-prone approach. On the other hand, from the educational (or life-long learning) perspective, there is also a shift towards innovative approaches on learning technologies, advanced learning management systems (LMSs), Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs), use of social media and advanced tools like Web conferencing for synchronous on-line meetings. However, most of these educational platforms, tools, social media, LMSs do not conform to a standard way of describing the skills cultivated within their courses. With such an ambition to focus on learning outcomes, as empowered by the EC (European Commission) agenda, is enhanced the competence-based matching. With constant changes in job and educational markets and MOOCs flourishing, the problem of formalising a dynamic and flexible lifelong learning process becomes apparent.", 237.678,00€, 2021-2024, Periklis Chatzimisios, https://bridgingthegapproject.eu/
