The project is expected to primarily benefit HE students, who – within a stimulating learning environment – will acquire interdisciplinary knowledge and skills in the fields of climate resilience, which in the medium-to-long term could result in more opportunities for research or employment and better professional placement in the public and private sectors. HE lecturers will benefit from networking opportunities at national and international level, useful for the development of future research and cooperation projects, while public officers trained during the project will acquire additional knowledge and soft skills that will support them in their ordinary activities related to urban and regional planning, policy-making, etc.
All target groups (academic and non-academic, within and outside the consortium) will gain access to a wide range of open access materials and OERs on climate resilience, which can be freely exploited and customized for research and professional activities, skills upgrading, professional refreshment or training, far beyond the end of the project.
Finally, the project will establish a network among involved EU countries and beyond, crucial to transfer results and findings to an operational policy perspective at different territorial levels.
