Project Summary

The main objective of the project was to train educators from partner universities (i.e. partners are training other partners) in the field of functional programming (FP) and closely related areas of informatics that this trained university staff then will contribute to the increasing of the level of education at their home university. Future university teachers and software engineers (i.e. actual students of Informatics or Computer science) were also involved in our activities to ensure on-time preparation of the new generations and the knowledge transfer to the industry. Novel knowledge and/or innovative technology was taught at all training events.
Theoretical (research) results were presented in a form of tutorials, which included illustrative examples and applications. The central event related to the project was the Central European Functional Programming Summer school CEFP, mainly to ensure long-term dissemination of our results. This event is suited for students and their teachers. Other activities include the before mentioned trainings of educators, multiplier and dissemination events (sharing intellectual outputs), which are researcher/teacher activities and which were organized at the MIPRO Conference in Croatia and at a separate event in Hungary. The main strategy relying on the differences in teaching methods and curricula ensured equity over equality between attendees coming from different regions in the EU by raising the graduates to the approximately same level of knowledge on FP and applications. Making them prepared to produce highly composable, comprehensible and correctly working software for any further not defined domain from a position of a software engineer.
