EuroTeQ Professional

Define the competencies for the EuroTeQ professional of the future. 

Defining the competencies of the future is an iterative process. It is not simply a gathering of information. It is an evolving process which includes many perspectives from various industries/fields and functions. Furthermore, the skills will evolve depending on how far we look into the future. The EuroTeQ project's vision covers 5-10 years. A broad selection of stakeholders, local advisory board members, university representatives, and ecosystem members from different industries will be involved to get an overview of the full extent. Live workshops, a survey, an online session, and in-depth interviews will be tools to collect the various input from the stakeholders. 

Design a procedure to keep the competencies adaptable in time 

In a world where society and technology evolve rapidly, the need for professional skills will continue to change. Therefore, it is necessary to design a procedure for collecting continuous feedback from the industry and their needs. This process will help to ensure the constant relevance of our course offerings in the future. 

As part of the deliverable, we will also have to decide whether this approach to collect competencies for the future is re-usable or must be adjusted for future input. We will monitor and evaluate all the activities in this process. In a "lessons learned" reflection, we will then be able to conclude which are the most effective or to define other means and ways to adjust the future competencies to deliver on time. 

Deliverable Description:

1. Actively engage with different professions - We will open up EuroTeQ Engineering University and actively engage with other professions to build a close, local, diverse community. 

2. Nurture the local eco-systems - All Partners within EuroTeQ Engineering University are active stakeholders in their local eco-system (e.g. TUM – One Munich, TU/e – Brainport, DTU – Knowledge City, etc.). Together with the local partners of the eco-system, the alliance wants to develop the concept of an 'open university' further, where the local community engages in campus activities (also beyond activity 3.2, experiences from 3.2 will help here).

Leading university: Technical University of Eindhoven (TU/e)
