DRIVE

Rapid expansion of the ICT sector, although promising, does not have satisfactory support which can adapt to the demand and achieve sustainable economic growth. In addition, one of the leading European employers, the automotive industry, has focused on software and embedded systems. As a result, there is a growing need for engineers with adequate skills and ICT companies that can respond to the demand. The DRIVE project starts from here and sets a goal to enhance infrastructure and services of faculties involved in the project, in order to encourage development and competitiveness of the cross-border business environment. Project activities will result in new cooperation between partner institutions and companies, clusters and young professionals in the specific field of embedded systems of the automotive industry. Planned outputs of the project include setting up 4 laboratories for embedded engineering automotive industry, drafting a curriculum with project’s findings and setting up a cooperation network of enterprises and research institutions.
