About
The aim of the UPSKILLS project is to identify and tackle the gaps in digital and research skills in existing programmes of study and develop supporting teaching and learning materials, with the ultimate aim of better preparing linguistics and language students for today’s jobs in the language industry. The aim of this one-day multiplier event is to share best practices and guidelines for the collection and creation of learning content targeting transferable skills to be used in language-related courses. The target group primarily involves university teachers in language-related areas. The main objectives of this multiplier event is to inform the participants about and train them in using the resources generated within the project so far. We will also seize the opportunity to learn from the experiences of the participants.
