SCALE

_ Description

SCALE envisages a portfolio of competence-based training modules for SSCs that can be viewed as micro courses able to complement and improve existing or synthesized to create new bachelor/MSc programs’ courses. Competence-based courses will foster innovation in higher education by applying a labor market-driven educational strategy, which will make the training offer more relevant with the actual labor market demands. The competence-based modules will also enable a highly flexible integration of emerging and innovative smart city elements into existing curricula, and support the acquisition of a rich variety of transferable, digital, green and smart city specific skills. Our main vision is to create a novel form of learning, which we term incubative learning. Encapsulating the smart city training modules into well-established curricula will provide the ability to tailor training schemes for building the missing competences or extending already acquired competences to cover smart cities.
