Bridge – BRilliant Innovation through DiGital Engagement

BRIDGE is an accessible digital platform that promotes collaborative innovation between academia and surrounded ecosystem that will help to solve the challenges of EU and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

For a sustainable future to be possible, people with innovative and entrepreneurial skills will be needed to create it. It will be important to understand clearly the needs or problems at hand and to develop viable solutions to address them. BRIDGE deals with the need to face the future, we need to make better use of interdisciplinary thinking and foster more diversified transnational cooperation to develop methods that can accelerate the process from idea to action. The current global situation also leads to new global challenges, and digitization opens up new opportunities.

The BRIDGE project aims to achieve:

1. A more effective use of digital platforms to promote collaborative innovation between the stakeholders that will help solve the challenges of EU and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

• By creating opportunity for Europe's HEIs students to contribute to innovation and utilization of learned knowledge,

• By disseminating knowledge of “speed up innovation” methodology to other European universities.

• By enhancing the national and international competitiveness of participating HEIs students.

2. A verified digital methodology (BRIDGE) for a digital transition of teaching.

• By building capacity to implement online distance learning for staff to deliver inclusive digital education

• By creating Digital Impact Day events (DID)

• By an iterative learning process among the partners

3. Stronger networks and networking capacity between academia and surrounded ecosystem:

• By sharing resources and expertise between partners.

• By coaction between stakeholders using the BRIDGE methodology.

• By creating a community platform for exchange of knowledge and best practice.
