Blockchain for Entrepreneurs – a non-traditional Industry 4.0 curriculum for Higher Education
VITECO takes part to the BLOCKS project, co-funded by the European programme “Erasmus +”.
The BLOCKS project creates a networked collaboration platform on curriculum development for universities and companies in Romania, Italy, Estonia, Latvia and Greece to develop non-traditional, blended-learning courses, tailored for an Industry 4.0 world, focused on providing teachers, students and entrepreneurs with knowledge and skills on the blockchain.
The approach is non-technologically intensive, as the purpose is to provide a business-oriented type of knowledge applicable for all types of students and entrepreneurs. The project shall identify critical skills and knowledge packs needed in blockchain-powered economy and implement them in the curriculum of universities, in a gamified, user-design oriented manner, tailored for various types of users.
