ECO -GT – Engineers Communicating Internationally for the Green Transition.	The ECO-GT project develops effective international communication skills among green-transition engineers, helping them to collaborate more successfully across research, business and policymaking communities, strengthening their capacity to influence the diffusion of green transition innovation and to combat the global climate crisis. The project develops a framework of international communication competences specific to green-transition engineers, which can be translated into learning outcomes, educational curricula, flexible mini-modules, and assessment criteria. Through piloting in different institutional contexts, as well as through a cross-institutional summer school, ECO-GT also explores ways to integrate international communication skills education into engineering curricula.	2023-2026	Transport and Civil Engineering	Una Beagon, Stephen Harper	Technikum Vienna, Austria Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland University of Applied Sciences Lapland, Finland Istanbul University, Turkey UTAD, Portugal Transilvania University of Brașov, Romania Engineers Ireland	Partner	Erasmus+ Co-operation Partnership

In-4-STEM - Innovative interventions to increase social and academic integration of STEM students	In-4-STEM develops methodologies to measure social and academic integration (SAInt) of new students in STEM and challenges faced by minorities in STEM (first-generation, women, apprenticeship students) during the transition to higher education. Innovative and effective interventions are developed that improve the SAInt, well-being, and perceived support of target groups. In-4-STEM raises awareness of the importance of SAInt for all students and provides a more holistic view of student success.	2024-2027 (if funded - decision due July 2024)	Transport and Civil Engineering	Una Beagon, Edmund Nevin	KU Leuven, Belgium, TU Dublin, ENSTA Bretagne, France TU Eindhoven Engineers Ireland	Partner	Erasmus+ Co-operation Partnership
L³IFE - Lifelong learning for an ingenious future of engineers	L³IFE builds a sustainable Alliance between education providers and the engineering profession to support engineering students and professional engineers in their learning journey. This multi-stakeholder approach between Higher Education (HE), Vocational Education and Training (VET), engineering associations & labor market actors guarantees a well-planned strategy and considers a micro, meso, & macro perspective: the micro-level focuses on the individual learner, in the meso-level the providers of learning opportunities are central, and at the macro-level, European & national policies are emphasized.	2024-2027 (if funded - decision due July 2024)	Transport and Civil Engineering	Una Beagon, Caitriona dePaor, Aimee Byrne	KU Leuven, Belgium, TU Dublin, Lappeenranta-Lahti University of Technology LUT, Finland University of Aveiro (UAveiro) Portugal ARUP Consulting Engineers Engineers Ireland Siemens Bosch IE.net Professional Association (Belgium) TEK Professional ASsociation (Finland)	Partner	Erasmus+ Partnerships for innovation - Alliances
