Since open innovation is first and foremost associated with digitalization, it is this aspect that will predominantly contribute to innovation in VET, and is the key focus of OPEN4U.

OPEN4U objectives include:

  • analysing most recent open innovation practices, beyond standard curriculum, at Consortium level;
  • exchange of good practices across OECD countries and the identification of open innovation strategies for VET, resulting in the development of an open innovation interactive catalogue, including policy recommendations on open innovation practices at regional level;
  • preparation of training material for 2 groups: senior SME employees and R&D staff at SMEs on new approaches for working with employees to introduce them to OI practices, and for junior SME employees and graduates on how they can contribute to OI practices, followed by the digitalization of material to a mobile app.

OPEN4U target audience

TG1: Junior and Senior staff at SMEs, R&D team members.

TG2: VET institutions, VET trainers.

Other stakeholders: Incubators of Entrepreneurship, Regional Development Agencies, Chambers of Commerce.
