The project aim is the modernization and internationalization of VET and Bachelor curricula in Engineering for Renewable Energies in the targeted universities in Albania through innovation of curricula in line with the new development in the area and the labor market demand. The use of renewable energy sources and the improvement of energy efficiency ensures a sustainable economy based on the conditions of scientific development. In order to meet all national objectives and obligations set by the EU for member states, but also for candidate countries (such as Albania), it is necessary to raise awareness of the younger generation on the use of RES, improve energy efficiency, design curricula and upgrading existing ones, training academic staff and building laboratories, expanding the network of collaboration with International Higher Education Institutions for the recognition and implementation of modern energy technologies. <\/span><\/p>\n The ENGINE project aims to adapt, modernize and restructure existing engineering curricula in renewable energy that perfectly fits into the development strategies of Albania in curriculum modernization of engineering education. <\/span><\/p>\n Its specific objectives are:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00fc <\/span><\/span>To analyze the educational needs in engineering for renewable energies through problem and job analysis, and to define the necessary knowledge, skills and competencies of engineers in the sector of renewable energies in terms of learning outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00fc <\/span><\/span>To design syllabi and course content and assessment for compulsory and elective courses in VET and bachelor engineering education for renewable energy to meet the market needs and upgrade the university academic offer accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00fc <\/span><\/span>To develop new e-learning courses with modular structure for the innovated curricula of Partner HEIs and to establish a platform for knowledge sharing between Albanian HEIs and program partner institutions. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00fc <\/span><\/span>To innovate the laboratory equipment and to perform a pilot test and to start the implementation of the joint modules\/courses\u2019 delivery during the last project year.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Consortium of ENGINE Project is composed of the following partners: <\/span><\/p>\n P1.<\/span><\/strong> Polytechnic University of Tirana [UPT], Albania \u2013 Lead Partner <\/span><\/p>\n P2.<\/span><\/strong> Katholieke Universiteit Leuven [KU Leuven], Belgium<\/span><\/p>\n P3.<\/span><\/strong> Technical University of Sofie [TUS], Bulgaria<\/span><\/p>\n P4.<\/span><\/strong> National and Kapodistrian University of Athens [NKUA], Greece<\/span><\/p>\n P5.<\/span><\/strong> Kadir Has University [KHAS], Turkey<\/span><\/p>\n P6.<\/span><\/strong> European University of Tirana [UET], Albania<\/span><\/p>\n P7.<\/span><\/strong> \u2018Aleksander Moisiu\u2019 University of Durres \/ UAMD, Albania<\/span><\/p>\n P8.<\/span><\/strong> Professional College of Tirana [KPT], Albania<\/span><\/p>\n P9.<\/span><\/strong> Albenecon, Albania<\/span><\/p>\n P10<\/span><\/strong>.

The key deliverables of this work package are: <\/span><\/p>\n 5.1.<\/span><\/strong> Setting up and maintaining the project Web site.<\/span><\/p>\n 5.2.<\/span><\/strong> Consolidation of Dissemination and Exploitation Strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n 5.3.<\/span><\/strong> Two papers on project activities and results published in relevant scientific magazines and\/or presented at relevant international conferences.<\/span><\/p>\n 5.4.<\/span><\/strong> Organizing 4 dissemination events with relevant stakeholders (workshops, info days).<\/span><\/p>\n 5.5.<\/span><\/strong> Final International Project Conference in Tirana.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 5.6.<\/span><\/strong> Creation of the financial and institutional sustainability strategic plan.<\/span><\/p>\n 5.7.<\/span><\/strong> Sustainable cooperation with labor market.<\/span><\/p>\n 5.8.<\/span><\/strong> Creation of the partner network between all institutions involved in the project.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This Chapter describes the Communication Strategy for the ENGINE project; its objectives and measures to achieve them during the implementation of the project. This Communication Strategy seeks to provide to the stakeholders and target groups relevant and accurate information regarding the milestones of the ENGINE project, as well as ensures that all project activities and results are fully disseminated at the public at large. This Communication Strategy will produce the following results until the end of the project: Raise awareness about the ENGINE project; Inform target groups about the project outputs and results; Communicate the benefits of the ENGINE projects; Promote active participation of the public at large in the ENGINE Project. <\/span><\/p>\n Project Partners of the ENGINE Consortium are <\/span>bound by the Erasmus+ rules regarding communication and dissemination. As experienced partners with project development, they are expected to adequately and effectively use this communication strategy to ensure successful implementation of its objectives. <\/span><\/p>\n Various tools of communication are foreseen to be used throughout the project, from its beginning and to continue until the full completion of the project. More specifically: Project visual identity materials like flyers, posters, roll-ups, brochures, interactive website and user-friendly, modular learning and information materials will be developed; Newsletters will be published every six months announcing and reporting about relevant achievements and events; Tailor-made publications will inform and attract different target and user groups, e.g. students, enterprises, HR-experts, researchers, networks and administrations; Project will deliver paper to relevant international conferences or scientific journals on project implementation and achieved results; Target oriented dissemination will be addressing different target group needs; Quantitative dissemination activities will be carried out using the large partner networks for several thousand potentially interested organizations.<\/span><\/p>\n The Communication Strategy of the ENGINE project will include a range of informative and promotional activities\/events and outputs, which will have interactive and collaborative<\/u> character, meaning that they will try to incorporate feedback from target groups and beneficiaries, and will make the best use of the available resources. These outputs will also be very innovative and accountable<\/u>, meaning that the project activities will utilize new media as an integral part of dissemination, and will be monitored and evaluated according to the plan for the implementation of project activities. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In order to achieve the best result during the dissemination of the project, a careful identification of the target groups that will be affected has been conducted. <\/span><\/p>\n At the academic and institutional level, target groups that will be reached by dissemination tools include current and prospective students from the Bachelor and Master study cycles. Through the delivery of promotional materials, project website, social and digital media, they will have the opportunity to learn about the ENGINE project and to participate in it, while acquiring skills and knowledge that will make them competitive in the job market. Also, the academic staff of partner universities academic staff will have the opportunity to teach and research in modernized laboratories. <\/span><\/p>\n At the stakeholders\u2019 level, sectors such as housing, service, transport, agricultural and renewable energy will have a better linkage with the study programs and the market demands; the implementation of the ENGINE project will ensure better quality the study programs in the related fields. <\/span><\/p>\n At the European level, project partners from Albania will benefit from the successful experience of the EU higher education institutions, their cooperation and links to the industry sector. Students and academic staff from Partner Countries will have the opportunity to be part of the project activities\/study visits and improve their capabilities; whereas the EU partners will also have a chance to apply their knowledge in the Albanian context. <\/span><\/p>\n The project team of UET will coordinate all dissemination activities. The internal communication among the project partners and the Lead Partner will be based in common transparency, openness, active participation and inclusion of all partners in the decision making process. <\/span><\/p>\n There following aspects related to dissemination will be taken into consideration during the implementation of ENGINE project: <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a7 <\/span><\/span>Regular communication<\/span><\/strong> with the stakeholders will be mainly by electronic means (e-mail, Skype, Zoom, Webex, video conference) and phone. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a7I.
