Context/Background of the Project: The INNO3D project aims to develop tools to train Librarians in using 3D printing so that they have the skills to train library users to use 3D Printing effectively. This will be a dedicated service offered in libraries by librarians who as a result of the training that the INNO3D project will provide, will be able to instruct all library users in the use of 3D printing. The project will enhance the quality and relevance of knowledge and skills of librarians in the area of 3D Printing.Objectives of the Project: The project is designed to improve and diversify the services offered to users of university and other libraries by offering these library users key skills and the opportunity to develop 3D printing competencies. This will be achieved by training librarians who will then train library users, students, staff and citizens in general to use 3D Printing services. Libraries have always been communal spaces that have been set up to share and give access to learning and enrichment resources. The introduction of new technologies such as 3D printing is part of the mission to teach 21st-century skills. 3D printing is an example of the type of resource that will transform today’s libraries into cutting-edge learning hubs and give communities access to technologies that will have a significant impact on such fields as scientific research, architecture, manufacturing, engineering, healthcare and more. Its important to note that the goal of 3D printing in libraries is not to create the next artificial heart. But a library user can learn the technology and potential of digital fabrication and reinforce that learning with simpler hands-on projects. Hence, effectively introducing 3D printing in Society and making it available to ordinary citizens. Description of activities/Number and profile of participants: Following delivery of comprehensive training in using 3D Printing, Librarians in the 8 universities in the project (1 in Ireland, 2 in Romania, 2 in Greece and 1 in Slovakia, 1 in Spain, 1 in Portugal, will then pilot the new 3D Printing curriculum among library users at each university- average 150 users for each of the partner faculties in each Programme Country in the project. Initially, the new curriculum for 3D printing will be integrated into the existing Library staff Training programmes in each of the EU partners in the project. Following this, the Librarians will train the academic faculty during the project: 60 persons. About 600 students annually in each of the Programme countries in the project will receive 3D Printing training and will gain specific professional competences in 3D printing. About 100 national and public library staff will be mentored through online instruments/courses provided by 3D Printing company MBTT from Romania who are the only non-university partner taking part in the INNO3D project and through their involvement in Multiplier and other events. Methodology to be used in carrying out the project: The Methodology for implementing the project will be based around 6 core activities which will deliver the outcomes of the project, as follows:Activity 1 - Project management: this is an ongoing activity during the project's life. It ensures the smooth implementation and achieves the proposed results. Activity 2 Mapping 3D Printing education in libraries and on the University levelActivity 3 – Developing, testing and implementing 3D Printing Training curriculumActivity 4 - Elaborating 3D Printing trainers’ toolkit for theoretical programActivity 5– Validating quality assurance and improvement of 3D Printing curriculum and 3D Printing training materialsActivity 6 – Transferring project results and best practices. Institutionalizing 3D Printing in Libraries of each EU partner in the project to ensure ongoing training of librarians and library users for future generations. Results and Impact envisaged: Running this project within university and public libraries will lead to an increase in the number of library users in these institutions, but also to an increase in the promotion of these innovative technologies among the citizens (library users). Assimilation of these innovative technologies by librarians will lead to the personal development and lifelong learning of citizens in general & to the diversification of the services offered to users of public and university libraries, increasing their attractiveness to the younger generations for such institutions. By default, this will increase the visibility of these institutions, not only locally but on the international level. This project represents an opportunity not only for technical students, but anyone who wants to carry out various projects specific to their specialties using 3D Printing. The project is expected to have immediate impact and long term effect on improved and modernized educational processes in the area of 3D Printing across University & other libraries & Society.
