<< Objectives >>SMARTER develops smart supply chain knowledge competences as well as transversal skills through experiential learning applications. 7 universities from Spain, Austria, Ireland, Finland, Croatia, Romania and Argentina as well as 2 business development organisations (IRE, ESP) deliver digital learning material, innovation created in industry-university collaboration, as well as formative assessment tools for sustainable learning methods realising the 'Internationalisation at home' principle.<< Implementation >>University students will conduct a digital maturity gap analysis within the target businesses to create the framework for the core learning activity - the SMARTER Student Challenge, organised in Ireland in April 2024. Work packages 4-6 will prepare the Smart Material, Money, and Info flow to support the student challenge by using simulations, serious gaming, webinars and online workshops. The in-person workshop will be realised as a collaborative industry-university knowledge creation event.<< Results >>The final conference in Croatia in June 2025 will present the research publication of the digital maturity gap analysis, smart supply chain learning material, the experiential learning tools, the best practices learned from the student challenge, and feedback and reflection documents from student, educators and target group representatives as well as formal curricula integration opportunities. SMARTER achievements are also published in Social Media throughout the progress of the SMARTER project.

By initiating a Latin American-European cooperation on innovation and entrepreneurship, the LISTO project adresses the LA universities' need to keep developing their capacities in connecting with the wider economic and social environment. The project has identified three target areas. 1.) University-industry relations; 2.) Teachings entrepreneurship skills; 3.) entrepreneurial universities. LISTO will establish an exchange of methods for matching researchers with industry R&D staff (AIMday), develop an interdisciplinary entrepreneurship skills module and train teachers in delivering an international classroom, and work on strategies for fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and innovation governance. There will be an open access ebook (in English, Spanish and Portuguese) summarizing the results and the teaching methods.
