RESPO-VI – Development of an expert support system for competency assessment in higher education

This project develops a decision support system (DSS) to monitor and support the development of STEM students’ competencies across formal and non-formal education, helping them transition into 21st-century, technology-driven societies. It focuses on building the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students need to continuously learn, adapt, and contribute to innovation in modern economies.

Work is organised across five work packages: WP1 management (coordination, reporting, financial administration, and evaluation); WP2 development of the RESPO-VI web application and adaptation of the competency model to the needs of students, higher education programmes, and companies aligned with 21st-century competencies; WP3 training for multipliers to use RESPO-VI, validating the tool and increasing STEM students’ participation in non-formal learning to improve employability, mobility, and personal development; WP4 validation of RESPO-VI through further training for multipliers and HE teachers, supported by a needs and skills analysis to integrate DSS-based mentoring and teaching in partner institutions; and WP5 communication, including an informative brochure to raise awareness and strengthen attitudes and knowledge on competency development for Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0, and on using expert DSS tools in higher education.
