Joinmultidisciplinary and international teams at the ECIU University and solve nanochallenges linked to the SDG11 - Sustainable cities and communities, providedby business and societal partners across Europe. Participation in nano challengeswill allow you to make a real impact in the community, city, or region bysolving real-time local, national, and global challenges with a new way oflearning - the challenge-based learning. Generalprocedure of a challenge: - The nano challenge is provided by acity, region or business stakeholder and is entered on the ECIU UniversityChallenge platform (challenges.eciu.org).
- You register to the nano challengeyou find relevant on the platform.
- An international andinterdisciplinary team is formed from registered participants from all ECIUpartner universities and a team facilitator from the host university isassigned.
- You work with the team on the nanochallenge, engage, investigate, and propose non-technical solutions using thechallenge-based learning methodology (https://eciu.tuhh.de/challenge-based-learning/).
- During the process, you can selectrelevant micro-modules from ECIU member universities that help you gainadditional knowledge or skills that are relevant to solve the nano challenge.
- Finally, teams deliver their outputs- which may include services, products, research questions, start-ups andspin-offs.
By workingin multi-disciplinary and/or international teams, you will build upinter-cultural competences and increase your network of expertise by developingproblem-solving and team-work skills.

All ECIU challenges will constantly be updated at thechallenge platform: challenges.eciu.org “Nano challenges” are the smallest unit of challenges in theECIU University and are supposed to be done within 1-2 days. Focus is to defineyour actual challenge, find suitable solution(s) and create ideas for furthersteps. https://eciu.tuhh.de/cbl-in-more-detail/ This course is aimed at Master students frommember universities of the ECIU network (www.eciu.org). The course requires anindependent approach to work, the willingness to learn independently about new non-technicaltopics and research methods, and the motivation to learn and activelyparticipate in an international/disciplinary team. |
