Italy, Univaq: Supply Chains in a Smart Society

Objectives and Description
The project is about designing and building supply chain solutions using smart technology.

Goal of the project
ICT students will have the opportunity to gain international experience and develop their professional skills. More specifically:

• international experience where they are introduced to different teaching methods, cultures and technological environments,
• professional knowledge where they have the opportunity to delve into other ICT-related subjects that are not directly taught with us,
• networking and collaboration by connecting with students and teachers from other ICT programmes which can lead to valuable professional connections and collaboration opportunities,
• personal growth by living in a different environment which improves personal development, independence and adaptability as well as language skills, and lastly
• strengthening intercultural competences by interacting with students and teachers from different backgrounds which allows them to learn more about cultural competences and be better prepared for a globalised labour market.

Methods and outcomesyour
