Euro4Science 2.0 is a spinoff of a very successful partnership, previous Euro4Science Erasmus + Project. Euro4scince includes partners from Portugal, Poland, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria and the UK

Euro4Science 2.0, includes the development of a Forensic Science Educational Toolbox which, despite exploring the same "case-file" forensic like approach as in euro4Science 1, now pretends to wide activities subject expanding the range of topics from STEMs. The philosophy of enquiry education and case files exploration complemented with lab and field activities is now comprehensive to incorporate important priorities of present day citizenship and challenges including health education, environmental sustainability and inclusive society and human rights.

In order to implement the innovative educational activities proposed and responding to a clear identified need, Euro4Science will promote the creation of a network of teachers properly trained in a hierarchical chain of workshops, from central "Train the trainers" hubs to local "hotspots" in order to reach a significant number of teachers and through them ultimately by secondary school students.

Hence the objectives of the project, include:

• Tackling of early school leaving
• motivation of disadvantage students
• promote scientific and media literacy
• address values and topics such as  freedom, tolerance , non-discrimination and respect for  human rights
• address environmental sustainability and health by exploring transdisciplinary "Case Files"
• develop activities related to everyday hot topics which are transmitted via media and internet, thus requiring proper literacy

Four Intellectual Outputs:

The project is going to perform study visits on leading SMEs to investigate their structure and exchange practices, study visits to SURVIVORs SMEs in partner countries affected by the crisis (GR, SP, PT) and collect the material necessary to create a training programme as a roadmap to success. A powerful tool will be created as a platform for further development, connection of executives between SMEs, exchange of practices and a flexible learning program that will link the specific needs of SMEs (which will derive from the desk and field research) in terms of internal capabilities, with the training offered, in a way that will allow effective use of resources (people/time) and connect learning with business results.

The main project objective is analysed in creating a powerful tool &a flexible training program that will manage to link the market needs with the training offered, in a way that will allow effective use of resources (people, time) &clear connection of training with business results.

The activities of the project are:

• To gather the existing examples, good practices and expertise, available in each participating country and prepare them for the experience share to carry out methodological as “Capacity building” and “Common learning and training”.
• To organise 7 Transnational Project Meetings (TPM)
• To organise the respective exchange and trainings
• To realise the agreed communication, dissemination activities and measures
• To organise regional and local activities to promote the project across target groups to involve relevant stakeholders as direct or indirect project beneficiaries with dissemination activities for each partner in press, social media etc (as an obligation of the partners);
• To contribute to the evaluation and reporting process, i.e. most of all by a proper and sound reporting

  Seven (7) Short-term joint staff training events will be organized in partners’ countries (Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Spain). 2 Staff members from each partner will participate to the training activities. These training events aim at visiting either SMEs in each partner country that have survived through the crisis but also niche SMEs that have upgraded their management system and have dealt with the crisis the past few years, and they have profit, and are sustainable.

AXESS is the concrete answer to specific needs in the field of upskilling adults, with focus on Digital Skills for low skilled adult women.

The ultimate goal of the project is to enhance employability of women through developed and more proactive social and civic engagement. In today´s world this is firmly linked with the level of digital skills.

The above mentioned competences (sense of sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, social and civic competences, digital competence) are among 8 Key Competences of Lifelong Learning formulated by the European Commission. Also OECD deals with competences of adults, notably in the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). The survey of problem solving in technology-rich environments, among other things, revealed that women in some countries have less developed digital skills than men.

AXESS addresses the needs of target groups (adult women) by developing and deploying concrete training and educational resources (OER, open educational resources) for adult women to advance their digital competencies and skills.

Hence the objectives of the project, include:

• The provision of concrete educational resources for low-skilled adults, mainly for adult women
• Enhancement of Social and Civic Competences of low-skilled adult women and lead to socio-economic empowerment
• The development of content and material for online courses
• The creation and consolidation of strategic partnership fir Adult Education

The amelioration of digital skills for adults, especially for women
