ONE (The ONE Meeting Project)

Duration

12/2020–11/2022

Principal/Sponsor

European Commission, Erasmus + Strategic Partnerships

Abstract

The objective of the ONE meeting project is to strengthen the ability to engage in productive virtual collaboration within strategic and structured international projects in order to reduce the travel and related environmental impact as well as to be better prepared for unforeseen, disruptive events like the Covid-19 pandemic. The ONE project’s goal is to increase the environmental knowledge and virtual communication/collaboration competences of HE leaders and staff, to carry out multi-national projects successfully with only ONE transnational partner meeting.

On completion, ONE will have made it possible for project managers and HE staff to access effective, practical resources on virtual communication and collaboration as well as project management competences, which they can directly apply to their (future) international projects. ONE provides a reliable means of advancing systemic changes in approaches on how to conceive, plan and deliver transnational projects, both at national and international level.
