Project R-10993

Title

Academic consulting training in an interdisciplinary context (ACTi) (Education)

Abstract

The Faculties BEW and ARK have been contributing to the Civic story for a while. With this innovative education project (IOP), besides further developing this Civic story, we want to focus on a structural collaboration between both faculties when it comes to education by establishing an OPO (course unit) where because of that collaboration, students will be more widely employable in the market. That is why we want to teach students to apply their knowledge in a different way: as consultants on the one hand, and as multidisciplinary "bridge-builder" on the other. To this purpose, they need a very specific set of competences which we will teach them through the OPO Academic Consultancy Training in an Interdisciplinary Context.
