Educational institutions are under tremendous pressure to provide greater access, increased security and improved services. Monarch EIT provides practical research and advice on the strategic alignment, management, applications and infrastructure required to meet these expectations.
Monarch EIT will enable and encourage its participants to exchange good practice, discuss common problems and work together on possible solutions. It takes into account that co-operation between higher education and business is now widely recognized to have benefits for both sides. Dialogue and co-operation stimulate knowledge transfer in both ways, lead to useful long-term partnerships and help prepare students for future employment.
Monarch EIT will Recognize the relevance of learning outcomes from the view of employers, development of qualification frameworks and involvement of employers. Developing knowledge, skills and competences can take place in different settings and contexts, formal, non-formal as well as informal. In recent years there has been a growing appreciation that learning in non-formal and informal settings is seen as crucial for the realization of lifelong learning.
