Project summary: CARNET is implementing the e-Universities project with the aim of digital transformation of higher education (HE) in the Republic of Croatia by improving the digital teaching infrastructure, introducing digital teaching tools and strengthening the digital competences of teachers for teaching in a digital environment.

The digital transformation of public institutions in higher education will be approached systematically. Digital transformation contributes to the flexibility and innovation of education, combines the raising of organizational, management, infrastructure and educational categories of development, and enables the convergence of public national and EU HE policies, while also continuously monitoring current development directions in digital technology.

The project will invest in:

• Network and computer infrastructure

• Equipment and related services

• Cybersecurity activities

• Improvement of the existing IT system and linking records in HE

• Educational support and educational programs to strengthen the competences of teaching staff for learning and teaching in a digital environment

• Support and professional development of professional staff.

 

Project results:  By improving the existing IT system and connecting records in higher education, a unique platform will be created that will contain timely and relevant information for monitoring trends at all levels of decision-making and a key database for monitoring the system, preparing reports and analyses, as well as for planning and forecasting, which will enable systematic monitoring, evaluation and achievement of program financing goals for higher education institutions.

Investments in digital infrastructure with accompanying educational support to empower teachers to create digital teaching content, accompanied by continuous research regarding the state and application of digital technologies in higher education and business, as well as experimental implementation of a modular education program, will strengthen teacher competencies and raise the level of digital maturity of higher education institutions throughout the Republic of Croatia.
