On July 7 and 8, 2022, the University of Minho hosted the 2nd transnational partner meeting of the European project CRISIS – Competences for Resilient Smart Cities’ Staff. The meeting was held at the facilities of the University of Minho in the city of Guimaraes, Portugal with the participation of the DAISSy research group of the Hellenic Open University, the University of Thessaly, the Fernuniversitat in Hagen (Germany) and EDEX ltd (Cyprus).
During the two-day meeting, the partners had the opportunity to discuss the dimensions of resilience of smart cities, the competencies required to effectively address these dimensions, but also the required proficiency levels of each capability. This discussion took place in the context of the development of a self-assessment tool for resilient smart cities’ staff, which aims at identifying potential competence gaps to propose alternative learning paths to address them.
In addition, the partners analyzed issues of curriculum design, development of the training kit, and pilot offering of the CRISIS project educational program. At the same time, horizontal issues of the project regarding the exploitation and promotion of its results, as well as its management, were discussed.
The DAISSy Research Group of the Hellenic Open University participates in all the Work Packages, undertaking the implementation of the e-learning platform that will support the pilot educational program of the project through a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).
