The project aims to foster independent, open‑minded and innovation‑oriented thinking in future higher‑education graduates by means of the Design Thinking (DT) methodology. To achieve this, an educational pathway was created targeting students, academic teachers and the business environment, in which the DT methodology was implemented to enhance transversal skills, teamwork and creativity, and to align them with the real needs of local communities as well as the global society. The consortium consists of universities from several European countries that combine teaching and research experience in order to achieve broad complementarity in educational practice.
