The Nutshell project<\/a><\/strong> wants to improve the international project management performance of the partners universities through a dual approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On one side, by deepening the functioning of internal organizational processes<\/strong> related to project management <\/strong>and providing solutions to improve and simplify <\/strong>them. On the other side, providing the necessary skills and tools <\/strong>to the members of the university community, especially the less experienced, to ensure that they can develop project proposals, access funding opportunities, manage approved projects following internal regulations and respecting donors\u2019 requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through these activities, Nutshell supports universities to take the opportunities provided by the Erasmus+ Programme<\/strong> allowing the development, transfer and\/or implementation of innovative practices as well as the implementation of joint initiatives promoting cooperation, peer learning and exchanges of experience at European level and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 18 to 20 October 2022, administrative staff, academics and Ph.D. students from Prague University of Economics and Business (Czech Republic), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), Humak University of Applied Science (Finland) and CESIE (Italy) participated in Ljubljana in the training \"Rethinking project management processes within Higher Education Institutions\"<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the training, the University of Ljubljana guided the participants in the exchange of knowledge regarding the project management processes<\/strong> of each participating institution (the so called AS-IS models or current state of the processes) and in a reflection on how to improve the processes and introduce changes in the own environment (the TO-BE models, that is the improved future state).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delegation of trainers from CESIE <\/strong>instead had the task of providing the participants with better knowledge of the most important aspects of the preparation and management of EU funded projects and the ability to navigate and use the tools developed in the project. The \u201cNutshell Project Management Toolkit for Higher Education Institutions\u201d <\/strong>was presented and tested in order to collect participants\u2019 feedbacks and fulfil it with new insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants acted as university teams bringing together different perspectives, experience and knowledge about internal process of the university and participation in the Erasmus+ programme, and that will transfer the knowledge acquired to other colleagues upon their return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time the training was a space for knowledge exchange<\/strong> among different teams coming from 3 different universities and one NGO that will be able to start new collaborations and start projects together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the coming months the Toolkit will be further tested, improved and finally disseminated among EU Higher Education Institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
