Work Packages

FAST4Future has 7 Work Packages

Management and Coordination: This WP includes all the coordination activities, management, and administration of the project, including organization of meetings, coordination of the overall implementation of the actions, project monitoring and evaluation, financial management, progress reports, and all the activities which are cross-cutting and therefore difficult to assign to another specific work package.
Accessibility and Inclusion: This WP aims at the creation of the conditions to ensure accessibility of the programmes and activities. This WP will explore new ways for reaching out to the less advantaged by creating remote and inclusive learning pathways.
Contents creation: This WP will create regular events and contents for CESST ensuring continuity and sustainability of the centre. The work will be led by the CESST Board in collaboration with academics from partner institutions and experts from industry and government’s departments.
Quality and Equality: This WP will focus on the quality of the programmes offered by partner HEIs and on the overall academic environment and contribute to reforming and modernization of the partner HEIs, including the standardization and modernization of existing PSST programmes. The GIDGC will promote equality across the project initiatives and the implementation of good practices in terms of gender balance by empowering women in STEM.
Staff Mobility: This Working Package will coordinate the mobility of administrative and academic staff across the network of FAST4Future and contribute to the creation of internationalization strategies and strengthen the international relations offices at the partner HEIs.
Knowledge transfer: This WP is all about capacity building for innovation. In so doing this WP will create synergies with the business sector especially in the field of satellite technology and sensors, and with small-size entities with interests in PSST.
Impact and Dissemination: This WP will put in place new mechanisms for communication and dissemination of results coming from international collaborative projects. The Dissemination and Outreach committee will organize STEM festivals every 12 months in all the partner countries.
