Project Summary

The increasing of the use of fossil fuels to meet growing Vietnamese energy demand (by 10% per year) goes against the need to prevent dangerous climate change. Renewable Energy Systems (RES) are a key solution. Vietnamese HEIs aren’t offering a training program specialized on RES in both undergraduate and graduate level and their main goal is to become leading universities, looking forward to standardizing education programs oriented to society demands and international accreditation criteria.ECO-RED project aims at contributing to the modernization, accessibility and Internationalization of n. 3 Universities in Vietnam, promoting the collaboration between Europe and Vietnam, supporting the adoption of innovative programmes and fostering a close collaboration between HEIs and labour market.The overall objectives are the:- Enhancing the collaboration, including credit recognition, mobility, joint training, among HEIs- Improving of the quality and relevance of HEIs – Improving the level of competences and skills in HEIs, adopting new and innovative pedagogical approach.The specific purpose of the ECO-RED project is to establish n. 5 new undergraduate courses on renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainability in n. 3 Vietnamese Universities.Main outputs will be:1) A detailed knowledge of Vietnamese Universities needs and of market needs; 2) a Manual on common standards, adopted for the elaboration of high Quality courses on RES and developed by the close collaboration among European Quality and International Offices and Vietnamese Offices, trained on Bologna Process; 3) n. 5 courses on RES accredited at Vietnamese and European HEIs; 4) training materials elaborated and delivered (n. 2 of n. 5 courses also in streaming); 5) at least 45 students trained; 6) Sustainable perspectives explored and verified; 7) Project activities and results disseminated; 8) ECO-RED project accomplished in a transparent and effective way.
