The Alliance for Strategic Skills addressing Emerging Technologies in Defence (ASSETs+) was launched in January 2020, for a four-year period. ASSETs+ is an Erasmus+ project, the European Union’s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Coordinated by the University of Pisa (Italy), the project is built on close collaboration between the Defence Industry, sectoral organizations, Higher Education Institutions, Vocational Education and Training providers and research centres, with 30 partners from 8 countries and a broad ecosystem of stakeholders.
The tool offers information on the UE funding opportunities related to the defence industry. The ASSETs+ courses are built on active pedagogical approaches like project-based learning, summer schools, challenges, e-learning. They are focused on professionals (Defence & AeroSpace) as well as undergraduate and graduate students.
