Work Package 2

Curricula development
The aim of WP2 is to develop partner countries HEIs curricula and establish capacity for I&E education through university-university and university-industry cooperation, joint initiatives of academia and internationalization activities (regional priorities). It is based on transferring good practice and experience to P2, P3 and P4 in the field of I&E in Blue economy. Moreover, it is believed that it will increase the readiness and capacity of partner countries HEIs to run I&E courses by involving the I&E centers established in WP3.
The methodology for curriculum update by I&E concept in Blue economy (DEV 2.1) will include such activities as revision of existing study courses in Montenegrin and Albanian HEIs and integration of identified subjects missing in existing study programs (bachelor and master). This will be followed by DEV 2.2 preparing guidelines for learning development. Preparation of course catalogues as a teaching material is emphasized in DEV 2.3. The WP2 output comprehends preparation of course scripts and teaching materials for identified subject gaps (WP1) through the exchange and application of existing material at program countries universities, including translation into regional languages and adjustment and adaptation of e-learning courses DEV 2.4 and DEV 2.5, respectively.
