Brexit:The UK remains as a programme country in the call2020 and all successfulapplicants can collaborate withthe UK for the full duration of their project.

Participation of Partner Countries in SP projects?

• Partner countries can participate in a Strategic Partnerships as a partner

• “A partner country partner” should bring an essential added value to the project

• Consider:

• Is this partner really unique?

• Can it be replaced by a European partner?

• Would all the outputs, results in the project be achieved without the Partner country partner?

03/02/2020 Opetushallitus 15

Two types of partnerships• Depending on the objectives and the composition of the Strategic Partnership, projects

may be of two types:

A. Strategic Partnerships supporting innovation (relevant for all fields of education)

B. (Strategic Partnerships supporting exchange of good practices not supported in HE these types of projects)

• Strategic partnership project must address

a) at least one horizontal priority or

b) at least one field-specific priority

Priorities

What are Intellectual Outputs?

Output= method, guide, model, study module, survey, specific software etc. tangible results (= intellectual outputs)

Other results= capacity building, changes in the mindset/working habits, increasing quality etc. intangible results (NOT intellectual outputs)

What is not an Intellectual Output?

A smaller, process -orientedStrategic Partnershipresults/products can be: • Comparative reports, surveys

and guidelines intended for internal use for the project

• Leaflets, websites, blogs, wikis, newsletters, light needs analysis

For producing suchproducts you can notapply for IntellectualOutput support (withproject management

support)

Examples of Intellectual Outputs in Finnish applications

• The number of Intellectual Outputs has varied between 2-9• Examples of Intellectual Outputs applied for:

• Joint Curricula, study programme or module• New methodology, pedagogical approach• Analysis, survey, best practice guide• Digital tools or platforms for studies / co-operation / sharing

information, mobile app• Teaching materials, MOOC• Guide books/ guidelines (eg. for use of teaching material)

Name of the Project: DigiNurse: ICT Supported Self-Management of Patients 1.9.2017-31.8.2020

Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education:

KA2 - Cooperation for Innovation and the Exchange of Good Practices

Raija Kokko

Project Manager, PhD (Health Sc.)

Choice of the project type and topic

Several options; why SP?

Choice of the Topic: • Idea:Erasmus teacher exchange in

Northhumbria, Great Britain • TAMK & Karelia: idea generation by

two teachers from Karelia Universityof Applied Sciences

DigiNurse: Aims and Objectives:1. To develop the DigiNurse Model for patients’ self-management of chronic conditions2. To educate students, teachers, health care professionals, students’ mentors, clients/patients,

representatives of the third sector for

3. The utilisation of the DigiNurse Model4. To collaborate with national technological enterprises5. To enhance the participants’ cooperation and network

6. To develop the guidelines of the application of the model for nursing education

Innovative Character

1. Digital chance has recently advanced fast and therefore curriculum, learning objectives, contents of courses, teaching and learning methods in nursing education need to be evaluated, updated and reconstructed.

2. The project process will emphasize learning of digital knowledge and skills in communication with all the participating partners and especially with the patients and representatives of the third sector.

3. The DigiNurse Model provides a lacking concept for developing the skills in nursing and coaching of patients' self-management with chronic conditions.

• The DigiNurse Model is ready and it helps students to learn and apply their digital communication knowledge and skills while studying and taking care of their patients.

• DigiNurse Community has grown beyond the partner consortium.

• Evaluation of the digital skills of nurses and student nurses shows improvement.

• The students gain better abilities to exploit digital skills in supporting and coaching self-management of the patients suffering from chronic conditions.

The expected results during and after the project are:

• The teachers gain an effective model to organise the inclusion of building digital awareness and competence of their nursing students.

• The working life receives new nurses with up-to-date skills in digital supporting aids and methods of nursing tasks with self-management of patients.

• The patients get better support for the self-management of their chronic condition when the nurses can coach and support them better with available digital tools.

• The digital health literacy among nursing students has increased.

• The European ICT companies get valuable feedback on their products.

The expected results during and after the project are:

DigiNurse Methodology

• Work packages• Activities in each work package• International Meetings, each partner works as a host at least once• Monthly Status Meetings: (Skype), Zooms with the partners• Extra Zooms with two or three partners• Evaluation• Dissemination

About the Working Process• Set up of communication tools• Literature reviews: self-management, coaching, pedagogical approaches,

technological tools, best practices in teaching and learning digital nursing• Survey a. 800-900 students• The first draft of the model• Piloting waves: students with each other, nationally, internationally, and during

their clinical training with patients• Collecting qualitative and quantitative feedback from teachers/students• The final draft of the model (after corrections) by the end of May, 2020• Dissemination: (posters, conference presentations, website, piloting videos,

animations, social media channels, Digi Market, ebook, etc.)

During theprocess

• Profound discussion on crucialissues: e.g. scientific/notscientific publications, authorsof publications etc.

• Discussion on the participants’ perception of time every nowand then (e.g. deadlines of assignments)

• Project manager’sresponsibilities/resources

• DigiNurse model is tested and finalized.

• Student nurses have successfully participated in the DigiNurse curriculum

• Teaching and training staff are convinced of the added value of DigiNurse in the curriculum

Afterwards: Local Impact

Afterwards:InternationalImpact :

• DigiNurse community expands to other countries of Europe

• Diginurse experience is shared among the international community

• Better connections with European ICT companies

• The teachers get an effective model fororganizing the inclusion of building digital awareness and competence of their nursing students.

• The working life receives new nurses with up-to-date skills in digital supporting aids and methods of nursing tasks with self-management of patients.

• The patients get better support for their self-management of their condition when the nurses can coach and support them better with available digital tools.

• The digital health literacy among nursing students has increased

Afterwards: International Impact:

Tips for Writing the Application

• ”Clear-headedness” when writing the application; not too optimistic promises

• The project teams of the participating organisations present many-sided expertise (e.g. an administrative expert, substance experts)

• Discussion before, during and at the end of the process is important• Work packages, responsibilities/roles of each participating institution are clearly defined and

discussed

• Confirmation of administrative support, especially important in the coordinating institution• Project members commitment (especially important if the three-year project)

• Consider ethical issues already when you are writing/starting theproject

• Plan carefully measurement tools for evaluation

• Use your international contacts; e.g. exchanges, earlier cooperatiion

• Choose a ”hot”, future-oriented topic• Form a team with versatile competences:

at least one person with earlier experienceon writing the application (”applic. literacy”), English language (or other) skillsneeded

• Reserve time for writing and reading theapplication: consult your Head of Education(usually takes more time than you haveexpected)
