RiskMan
Main objective of this project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union is to develop relevant and high-quality competences of future HSE professionals in the area of RM through transnational cooperation among universities, insurance institutions, enterprises and other key stakeholders.
Project partners are VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava (project leader), University of Minho and Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks.
The project is focused on building practical skills, incorporating management skills, of university students – future safety professionals (in industrial, consultancy and insurance companies as well as in governmental bodies) – in the area of HSE risk management. These skills will be developed through the set of innovative teaching methods (e.g. brainstorming, mind mapping, discussion and project methods) and tools (e.g. case studies and best practices examples, online risk assessment tools, safety games – table games and virtual reality games). Special attention will be paid to bringing close-to-real-world scenarios to the students and to active involvement (engagement) of students in teaching.
The methods and tools will be incorporated into existing subjects at the partner universities and new voluntary subject will be prepared incl. e-learning support for distant study. Furthermore, summer schools and module of industry trainee programme focused on HSE risk management will be prepared and organized in close cooperation with industry. Courses for university teachers on interactive teaching will be carried out.
Kickoff meeting of the project was organized by the VSB – Technical University of Ostrava in September 2018.
