The BRACKET Erasmus+ project (2018-1-HR01-KA202-047493) is a study of the representation of new technologies (nanotechnology, biotechnology and advanced materials) in vocational education and training.  In the scope of the project, the situation analysis in the project partner countries will be carried out, as well as the preparation and implementation of a new training program in the field of key advanced technologies and a joint platform for cooperation containing all educational content developed through the project.

Cooperation between the project partners will enable the exchange of knowledge and experience in different areas (vocational education, higher education, public administration, industry etc.) and between different sectors and different countries with the common goal of intensifying and supporting the harmonization of innovations and new technological trends, which will contribute to local and regional development.

Objectives:

• To bring together an innovative partnership among Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers, research centres, universities, companies and associations with wide experience in the subject of Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) and education.
• To develop a Joint Curriculum for developing and fostering new skills of Vocational Education and Training students.
• To implement Key Enabling Technologies in Vocational Education and Training through the creation of an open e-learning content.
• To create new job opportunities for people with the necessary skills in the field of Key Enabling Technologies.

Results:

• Development of a flexible learning pathway in line with the needs of Vocational Education and Training learners and other stakeholders related to Key Enabling Technologies (nanotechnology, biotechnology and advanced materials).
• An online and open course of Key Enabling Technologies in Vocational Education and Training, whose direct impact will be the innovation and excellence of entirely new industries and the transformation of the existing industrial base.

Project partners: Danmar Computers (Poland), University of Thessaly (Greece), Biedrība Eurofortis (Latvia), The Technological Centre of Furniture and Wood of the Region of Murcia (Spain), Ljudska univerza, Zavod za izobrazevanje in kulturo (Slovenia), InnoRenew CoE (Slovenia).
