The 3rd Transnational Partners Meeting – ODF project
We may not have shared any recent news about the Our Digital Future project, but rest assured that ASSIST Software and other project partners have been working hard to achieve the expected results.
Over the last several months, the ODF consortium reached important milestones in project implementation and the progress registered on each of the three intellectual outputs of the project was thoroughly analyzed during the third transnational partners meeting, which took place on July 5 and 6, 2022, in Volos, Greece. The meeting was hosted by Innoved and it served as an excellent opportunity for project partners to finally get together in person, as past meetings had to be held online due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Partners discussed the status of each of the three intellectual outputs, while determining the next necessary steps:
IO1 - 32 visual infographics in relation to eight sectors: Alternative Energy Consultancy, 3D Printing, Food Technology, Robotics, Cybersecurity, Virtual Reality design, Blockchain Technologies and Artificial Intelligence development. The infographics were created in English, translated into partner languages, and uploaded on the ODF multilanguage digital platform. Focus groups have been organized to review the infographics and provide feedback. A quality transnational report including the insights from the focus groups on the first intellectual output will be made available on the project website.
IO2 - 16 video-based interviews, created in relation to the new job opportunities in the fields the project has set to explore. Out of the 16 video interviews, 14 have been finalized so far and will be released soon. The work on the lesson plans that will accompany the interviews has been initiated.
IO3 - a digital platform and app showcasing the content created in IO1 and IO2: the visual infographics allowing VET career advisors to access key trends, skills requirements, job profiles and opportunities and the interviews, accompanied by compelling lesson plans. ASSIST Software has spent a significant amount of time and effort developing the digital platform and mobile app, which will be released in the coming months after some additional features have been implemented and fine-tuned.
During the meeting, partners also covered aspects related to project dissemination, quality assurance and financial and administrative issues.
A new online general meeting has been set for September 1st, 2022, to analyze the progress of project activities. Towards the end of February 2023, the ODF consortium will have the chance to get together again, in Valencia, Spain.
