▶Objectives
The ECO-GT project develops effective international communication skills among green-transition engineers, helping them to collaborate more successfully across research, business and policymaking communities, strengthening their capacity to influence the diffusion of green transition innovation and to combat the global climate crisis.
▶Activities
The project develops a framework of international communication competences specific to green-transition engineers, which can be translated into learning outcomes, educational curricula, flexible mini-modules, and assessment criteria. Through piloting in different institutional contexts, as well as through a cross-institutional summer school, ECO-GT also explores ways to integrate international communication skills education into engineering curricula.
▶Impact
(1) Competency framework for international communication skills of green-transition engineers plus learning materials (2) Min.120 green engineering students with enhanced international communication skills (3) A flexible mini-modular curriculum for continued implementation in institutional/cross-institutional contexts (summer schools) (3) A 150-page Handbook on Engineering Communication for the Green Transition containing all finalised materials, together with research outputs/ analyses
