FAD STU will take part as a Partner among the consortium of 8 European universities to explore the relationship between transdisciplinarity and innovation in education. The project CT.uni: Creative project Thinking – Taking an Innovative and STEAM Approach for a Transdisciplinary University (ERASMUS+, KA2 – Cooperative partnerships) will start on 2 May 2022.
WHAT IS THE PROJECT ABOUT?
Education forms the basis for a creative and productive workforce that drives research, development, innovation and is able to drive technological and digital developments. Education and training equips people with the skills needed in the labor market and enables them to respond to changing circumstances and structural changes.
In the education process, teachers play a central role in imparting skills, competences, knowledge and international perspectives to young people. This is why teachers need to receive excellent education and attractive prospects for their professional development and remuneration. The complexity of social and scientific problems today requires interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary overlaps. They have proven to be invaluable not only to scientists, but above all to everyone involved in the educational process, from teachers and researchers to students, managers, administration and external institutions that strengthen the community itself.
While there are currently a number of approaches to multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary education, the CT.Uni project is an opportunity to develop a collaborative meta-study as a comprehensive overview of what has developed in university education in order to identify the specific effectiveness of creativity and innovation and a broader approach to STEAM.
The consortium consists of following universities:
- Instituto Politécnico da Guarda, Portugal;
- Uniwersytet Marie Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, Poland;
- Háskólinn á Bifröst, Iceland;
- Technische Universität Dresden, Germany;
- University of Economics in Bratislava, Slovakia;
- Slovak Technical University in Bratislava, Slovakia;
- Universiteit van Amsterdam, Netherlands;
- Sapienza Università di Roma, Italy.
