Work Package 1

State of the art on I&E in Blue economy
The higher education sector has to represent an excellent example in defining the concept of I&E in Blue economy, promoting entrepreneurial mind sets, knowledge exchanges, entrepreneurship and innovative technologies. The core aspect provides a good basis for creating appropriate models that meet economic and social environment for academic knowledge through innovative services, products, processes and business. Connecting the higher education with entrepreneurship is of wide importance for strategic engagement of Western Balkan Countries' HEIs that are more concentrated on growth-oriented giving support for startups.

In that context, an overview of educational programs for I&E in Blue economy in EU (DEV 1.1) will be a basis for obtaining necessary information and practical examples of their strategy efforts and their challenges. The report will present in-depth analysis of EU policy framework and institutional practices.

In the second stage of WP1, GAP analysis will be implemented (DEV 1.2). It will represent a continuation of the previously done needs analysis on connecting educational and entrepreneurial sectors (maritime and coastal tourism and sustainable development)in Montenegro and Albania as referent points for the project implementation. The results of a GAP analysis will show the priority areas in industry that should be supported through the project initiative.

Based on the DEV 1.1 and DEV 1.2 overview and analysis, the report of actions for I&E in Blue economy at Montenegrin and Albanian Universities, will be evaluated (DEV 1.3). This report will be directed to identification of the areas for wider educational process and needs for expertise and specific improvement of processes and I&E perspectives in the field

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.
