Goals and Outcomes​

The Goal of the project “Competences for International Innovation Projects – CompIIT” (101082806) is to prepare Armenian students for the international, digitalized and projectized modern working environment by developing project competences, international communication competences and an entrepreneurial mindset.
Graduates need to learn how to work in interdisciplinary, international and intercultural teams, with specific communication competences (in English), dedicated project competence and a digital literacy in IT tools for collaboration, communication and project management. Universities in Armenia are expected to move towards project-based learning patterns but they lack such formats in the curricula. Furthermore, they lack the industry-university cooperation to make such projects realistic, innovative and workplace-related.

CompIIT addresses the need in Armenia for graduates who can work in virtual cross-border projects of the digital era with three core deliverables:

• A Virtual Project Campus as a digital infrastructure with IT tools and courses,

• Three transdisciplinary project formats for the curricula: innovation project, cross-border project, start-up project,

• The ProCom Language and Communication School as a virtual entity.

CompIIT, with all the contribution by its partners, will serve these needs by building a virtual, cross- country and cross-university platform with 5 main outcomes:

• A Virtual Project Campus as a digital infrastructure with IT tools for project management and collaboration, including eLearning courses on project management, tutorials, case studies,

• Three project formats for inclusion into the curricula: innovation project, cross-border project, start- up project. These projects are conducted in interdisciplinary teams with companies,

• The ProCom Language and Communication School as a virtual entity for delivering competence in English language project communication,

• A Train-the-Trainer program for teachers to use the outcomes,

• The annual Summer School on International Project Management.
