Erasmus+ Project UXiship starts with full strength

The Erasmus+ project in the program area "Capacity Building for Higher

Education" entitled "UXIship - Accelerating the Foundation Development

Skills of ICT Students through Interdisciplinary Modular Courses in Higher

Education Curricula" re-launched in early March 2021

Due to the outbreak of the pandemic in early 2020 and the ongoing

lockdown by COVID-19 worldwide, the project partners were not able to

continue the international project launched in November 2019 after the only

physical kick-off conference so far in early December 2019 in St. Petersburg

(Russia). For this reason, the UXiship project has also been extended for one

year and is thus scheduled to end on November 14, 2023, following approval

by the Executive Agency for Education, Audiovisual and Culture from

Brussels (the executing agency of the Erasmus+ program). 

For this reason, the project partners have met online on March 12, 2021 to

find the way to resume the project implementation and to define concrete

roadmaps. In the coming weeks, the EU partner universities (Tallinn

University of Technology, EKA Riga University of Applied Sciences, and

Wismar University of Applied Sciences) will conduct online trainings on

design thinking, interdisciplinary innovation development, cross-sectoral

collaboration, business creation, and more. conducted at partner universities

in Kazakhstan (Kostanay Baytursynov State University, Almaty Management

University and Caspian State University) and Russia (Kazan National

Technical Research University, Rostov State Economic University, St.

Petersburg State Polytechnic University).
