Work Package 4

I&E program and training of teaching staff and students
Teaching staff from partner countries HEIs will attend training at P1, P5 and P6 in order to adopt best practice in teaching and training of the key disciplines of I&E in Blue economy. The plan is to have 3 events at program HEIs, hosting training of at least 20 teaching staff members from partner countries HEIs. Also, certification of teaching staff in I&Etraining is carried out. These trainings are prerequisite for proper teaching and training material development at partner countries HEIs universities, defining the structure and principles of theoretical aspects and practical exercises.

Also, program countries HEIs will provide training for master degree students of partner countries HEIs in I&E, in English. It is planned to organize two events, one per partner country, at P2 and P4 . Partner countries HEIs staff will be additionally trained to use new and upgraded equipment. This will be accomplished at partner countries HEIs universities, in terms of unified training, wherever possible, in order to increase efficiency. The equipment vendors will be requested to organize training.

WP's performance indicators will be measured by the number of trained staff and the quality of training according to their feedback survey.

Reports on each training, number of staff and students trained and certified in I&E, will be the indicators of training performances.

Quality control and monitoring
This quality and exploatation WP has been designed to ensure that all partners frequently communicate with each other, ask for help if necessary and make decisions together. Quality Assurance (QA) body will be established. In addition, compulsory external audits will be performed at the project midpoint and at the end. This should contribute to the quality of the implemented project activities. Review and assessment of curriculum and I&E centres will be organized at completion points.

Workshops and training seminars evaluations will also provide a direct feedback to be incorporated into the progression of project activities. Audit will be delivered by external provider. WP6 represents a direct support to management planning and the status of implemented activities. The planning for all activities of WP6 can be found at our Quality Plan.
