Important results from the project
The project achieved its main objectives by developing five pilot courses for professionals, strengthening collaboration between academia and industry, and establishing new approaches to future skills supply in sustainable aviation. The results also include strengthened national networks, closer collaboration with industry, and new ways of connecting universities, students, young target groups and companies to support long-term skills development.
Expected long term effects
The project is expected to contribute to a stronger long-term skills supply for the Swedish aerospace sector through a national course offering for professionals, increased collaboration between academia and industry, and established approaches to lifelong learning. The results strengthen Sweden’s innovation capacity and competitiveness in sustainable aviation while also contributing to skills development in an area of strategic importance in a changing European security environment.
Approach and implementation
The project was carried out in close collaboration between the four universities, the two industrial partners (Saab and GKN), Aerospace Cluster Sweden and Innovair. The work was organised into six work packages and largely followed the schedule. During the project, focus gradually shifted towards developing pilot courses, strengthening industry collaboration and future skills supply. Collaboration worked very well and was strengthened through regular dialogue, conferences and pilot activities.
