IntegrAGE

The project aims to support the healthy integration of older working generations (55+) into the labour market, capitalizing on their knowledge and assisting them in adapting to the challenges of new ways of working. The goal is to enhance their participation, avoid undesired early retirement, and extend their productive life. By strengthening their special skills and competences, IntegrAGE aims to retain their knowledge and accumulated experiences in the economy, either by providing tutoring within their own company or through mentoring even outside of their organization. Furthermore, the project seeks to address the issue of skilled workforce shortages, particularly in regions where labour mobility is imbalanced, leading to a deficit of qualified professionals.

By leveraging the expertise of older workers, the project aims to mitigate this shortage and contribute to the overall development and growth of these regions.
Importantly, the project places significant emphasis on promoting an age-adapted and healthy work-life balance. Recognizing the unique needs and requirements of older workers, IntegrAGE seeks to create an environment that supports their well-being. This includes considering factors such as flexible working arrangements, providing resources for maintaining good physical and mental health, and fostering a positive and inclusive work culture.

Back On Track

In 2021, the European Union (EU) confronted a significant problem as 13.1% of young individuals between 15 to 29 years old were classified as Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET), notably impacting rural regions. To counter this issue, the EU set a goal to decrease the NEET rate to below 9% by 2030 and aimed to revitalize rural areas. This led to the creation of the Back on Track project, focusing on engaging and integrating inactive, marginalized young people. The project aims to understand their needs, offer personalized support, enhance skills, and improve mental well-being. Digital inclusion plays a pivotal role by providing access to urban opportunities through virtual means, fostering the integration of rural NEETs and contributing to the EU’s objective of reversing brain drain. The project plans to establish networks, outreach strategies, mentoring programs, and digital training models to empower rural NEETs, offering pathways for development and career options within rural areas. Ultimately, the Back on Track project signifies the EU’s comprehensive approach to address rural NEETs by tailoring support, leveraging digital inclusion, and working towards both reducing the NEET rate and revitalizing rural communities.

SeRWas

In water management, there is a progressive shift from traditional physical infrastructure to cyber-physical systems (CPS), creating new attack surfaces. The increasing number of reported cyberattacks on water facilities underscores the need for preventive measures and early detection. Conventional approaches to cyberattack detection are becoming less effective, while new technologies also bring legal and ethical risks. The SeRWas project aims to develop comprehensive solutions for cyber situational analysis in water management, taking into account future legal, regulatory, and ethical requirements. It will help reduce attack surfaces, develop advanced AI algorithms for attack detection, and provide training initiatives for adapting to new security architectures.

NOGAP

The “NOGAP” project’s main objective is to facilitate the exchange between vocational and school education to address the challenges of a rapidly changing world (VUCA world). It aims to prevent early dropouts from apprenticeship training by transferring personality development training from schools and preparing apprentices for further education and lifelong learning. The implementation involves transferring two personality development training programs from RYL! to inter-company vocational training (ÜBA). This includes demonstrating and evaluating existing ÜBA workshops, developing adapted workshop formats, and integrating content into ÜBA through complementary best practice materials. The project also evaluates the overall process for future collaboration between school and vocational education. Expected results include creating a difference profile and adaptation strategy for different target groups, identifying best practice strategies for content transfer, training IPC trainers in the new content, and enhancing understanding of the distinct conditions in both educational worlds.
