This strategic cooperation will accelerate their joint work in the education, research and innovation pillars, particularly on Industry 4.0 and sustainable development in both Central and Latin America. In this way, both organisations will work in parallel to boost educational programmes and international cooperation in key sectors.
Key Areas of Collaboration:
Participation in European Union-Funded Programs
By working together, Zeus Consulting and Global Coop can tap into EU-funded programmes, such as the Erasmus+ programme for education and training, and Horizon Europe for research and innovation. This allows for student and staff exchanges, joint research projects and other forms of educational capacity building all over Latin America and Europe.
Joint Development of Postgraduate Programs in Industry 4.0
In response to the evolving needs of Industry 4.0, Zeus Consulting and Global Coop are developing and implementing postgraduate courses in automation, artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things that will prepare students to capitalise on the emerging industrial landscape.
Collaborative Research and Innovation Projects
The collaboration will create an integrated research environment, where the two bodies will together contribute their research expertise and existing resources, and apply them to topics of global importance, such as sustainability, technological innovation, and smart city development. The research outcomes will be published through well-regarded academic journals and industry outlets.
Development of Initiatives Based on the Quadruple Helix Innovation Model
Through the Quadruple Helix Innovation Model, the partnership will bring together key players from academia, industry, government and civil society, to increase the competitiveness of regional economies and drive social development and environmental sustainability.
