Oracle Academy is delighted to support its members on a number of Erasmus + program opportunities and encourages other program members to learn more about upcoming projects and the competitive process of application.
Recently, our team members from Oracle Academy EMEA participated in an event organized at the Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin). Together with our hosts, we explained to interested educators the merits of taking part in prestigious Erasmus + program projects.
Those who are willing to share their experience and innovative ideas with fellow participants and outcomes of research with those inside and outside the EU can receive funding after completing an application. Outputs should include new assets for teaching and learning that will improve those experiences for faculty and students in the project consortium member institutions as well as with other interested educational institutions. Outputs can include new content in various languages, such as e-books, use cases, policy recommendations, videos, and conference papers, as well as networking and dissemination events.
English is typically the primary language of such projects; this may help member institutions from some countries bridge the language barrier in case English is neither the native tongue nor the first foreign language to be taught at the institution.
Through Oracle Academy, we at Oracle, one of the largest IT companies in the world, are keen to help build a network between partner institutions and educators to assist students in their careers across industries using technology knowledge and skills.
Recently TU Dublin and associated universities completed the Erasmus + Rapid Application Development project. Other contributing universities included Riga Technical University, Latvia; Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, Lithuania; Tallinn Technical University (TalTech), Estonia; and University of Rijeka Faculty of Economics and Business, Croatia.
Róisín Faherty, Head of Research and Innovation for the Faculty of Computing, Digital and Data, TU Dublin, the primary contact for this project, advised that this was the first Erasmus + project in the School of Enterprise Computing and Digital Transformation in over 10 years. She noted that it fed into the new TU Dublin curriculum program development and will be included in the rollout of this in September 2025.
Projects like these allow universities in Ireland to not only learn and teach new technologies and skills for students, but also best practices across other universities in Europe. The collaboration and development of international curricula through these types of projects is of benefit to educators and students alike.
