2024 has been another important year for European Academy as we proudly celebrate the successful launch of three significant Erasmus+ projects that address some of the most pressing challenges of our time: sustainability, digital transformation, and innovative project management. These projects showcase our commitment to empowering changemakers, advancing education, and fostering collaboration across Europe and beyond.
Let’s take a closer look at these three milestone projects:
1. ESG4PMChange: The ESG Imperative for the Project Management World
In an era where sustainability is no longer optional, the ESG4PMChange project aims to redefine project management by embedding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into professional practices. This collaborative initiative bridges the gap between academia, vocational training, and business world to develop a future-ready workforce equipped with ESG competencies.
Key highlights include:
- Conducting a comprehensive education gap analysis to align learning outcomes with the demands of ESG-focused roles.
- Developing micro-credentials and a digital learning hub to ensure global access to ESG project management resources.
- Introducing Living Labs, where learners can apply ESG principles to real-world project settings.
By fostering collaboration among universities, training providers, and industry leaders, ESG4PMChange is shaping the next generation of sustainable project managers who will champion the ESG agenda in all sectors.
2. GreenTech Horizons: Fostering Dual Green and Digital Transitions
As the world races to address the twin challenges of climate change and digital transformation, the GreenTech Horizons project takes bold steps to prepare future generations with the skills needed to thrive in a greener and more connected world. This ambitious cross-regional partnership brings together higher education institutions, vocational training providers, and industry partners from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Europe to drive sustainable growth and job creation.
Key achievements include:
- Designing a competency-oriented curriculum focused on the talent triangle: Green skills, Digital skills, and Business acumen.
- Piloting innovative eLearning ecosystems, including MOOCs, to modernize curricula and reach diverse learners.
- Engaging with policymakers and governments to ensure systemic impact and alignment with national and regional development goals.
GreenTech Horizons is paving the way for inclusive, sustainable development by building bridges between education, industry, and policy.
3. SPM²: Sustainable Project Management through PM²
As sustainability becomes a cornerstone of project success, SPM² reinvents project management education by integrating sustainable practices into the PM² methodology. This project equips higher education and vocational training institutions with the tools to train professionals in eco-conscious project management, fully aligned with European Union sustainability goals.
Key objectives include:
- Developing an industry-aligned curriculum that emphasizes sustainability within project lifecycles.
- Introducing accessible digital resources and innovative micro-credentials to upskill project managers.
- Advancing the PM² methodology as a gold standard for sustainable project management across Europe.
Through SPM², European Academy continues to lead the way in empowering professionals to manage projects that are not only effective but also environmentally and socially responsible.
