            Project summary:
            In the digital era, creation of social and technological innovation is of paramount import
            Danube Region does not lag behind the rest of Europe when it comes to ideas and initiative

            Research, Social and Technological Innovation (ReSTI) field. Still, specific managerial sk
            for development of ReSTI projects and their implementation are on inadequate level and nee
            in future.

            The aim of this project is to remove gaps in knowledge and skills in managing social and t
            innovation projects. The general goal is to create an environment in which interested stak

            find easy-to-use checklists, learning modules and advice with a specifically tailored cont
            management of ReSTI projects. The final output of the project is to establish an innovativ
            aimed at increasing employability and quality of ReSTI projects.

            In order to achieve the main goals of the project, 12 partners from 9 countries created a 
            by ZSI from Austria. Project activities are organized in such a way that expertise, experi
            of the partners in the ReSTI field play the key role. Each activity set is focused on diff

            aspect and led by the most experienced partner in the field. Project activities encompass 
            up networks, identifying gaps and opportunities, developing policy recommendations, creati
            and regional roadmaps and strategy, developing guidelines, curricula and learning systems,

            supporting ReSTI projects in the Danube Region.
            The main project activity sets are the following:
            · Development and implementation of learning modules

            · Establishment and implementation of the helpdesk
            · Creation of the regional roadmaps and strategy
            · Increasing employability of young graduates as ReSTI project managers

            The main outcome is to develop sustainable learning system, i.e. on-line learning modules 
            spreading excellence in ReSTI management, leadership and administration. Learning modules 
            students with materials and tools in a logical, sequential order necessary for developing 

            and skills (text, files, web links, discussion topics, tests and quizzes, as well as final
            The project is primarily oriented towards young ReSTI project managers, as well as adminis
            and private organizations engaged in ReSTI projects, within the Danube Region. Additionall

            know-how within partner institutions regarding ReSTI project management is to be shared wi
            society and small businesses, as well as young graduates as first-time applicants to trans
            multicultural projects.

            Development of learning modules, roadmaps and strategy, as well as the helpdesk is to bene
            community within the Danube region. Hence, project stakeholders include education and trai
            as well as higher education institutions who will benefit from the learning modules. Publi

            other decision makers and NGOs can find great importance in development of regional roadma
            in order to successfully direct public policy decisions in this area. Sustainability of th
            guaranteed since the developed learning modules are to be built into existing curricula af

            ends in July 2019.
