Incorporating automated tools and analysis in master’s programme design

MERIT is developing master’s degrees and short-term with the participation of NGOs, non-profits, research organisations, companies and SMEs. These are delivered by technical universities across Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Italy and Spain.

Courses in domains such as AI, cybersecurity and IoT become quickly outdated and projects like MERIT need resilient methods for easily building new content. Establishing an intangible infrastructure which allows for this is key to the project’s sustainability.

Framework for competency-based evaluation of students in higher education

Designing content in higher education is often associated with a lack of agility. Universities create fixed curricula, following rigid schedules, which do not match market dynamics, but rather limit their adaptability to rapidly evolving digital skills requirements

MERIT has the task of creating an educational ecosystem, spanning across Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Italy and Spain to train digital specialists and improve the evaluation of different students or courses by matching study programmes to the skills produced.
