The Multiplier event 4 was organised by the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria on the 16th of March 2024 at the University Campus in Linz (Austria). The DiGreen Multiplier event 4 was a one-day event aimed at presenting the project and gather valuable feedback from students about Project Result 3 and Project Result 4. There was a focus on a selection of topics like Urban IoT, Resilience in the Public Sector, Food Waste Management, Circular Economy. Climate Neutrality and Security & Safety.
The event was intended to gather feedback from students regarding the theoretical knowledge base including the elaborated good practice examples, who should assess the usability, accuracy, style and contents of the texts provided.
Therefore, 22 public management students \u2013 most of them are already working in the public sector \u2013 were invited to take part in this Multiplier Event. This way, feedback on the theoretical knowledge base could be gathered from an important target group.
After a short welcome, the project consortium as well as the partner municipalities and cities were introduced by the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. There also was a focus on informing the students about the Erasmus+ project and its various programs and opportunities. The project goals as well as methodologies were outlined, covering both the existing Handbooks of DIGITAL and GREEN good practice (Project Result 1 and Project Result 2) and the Project Results 3 and 4, which are still in work. The above mentioned topics were discussed in depth.
The students confirmed that the topics raised their interest. They believe that the texts provided can be helpful for teachers and students. At the same time, they pointed out some shortcomings that need to be considered before the materials can be made available to the public. For example, many texts were found to lack depth and some students pointed out that the English language is sometimes too difficult to understand.
In summary, the fourth multiplier event has been a success, providing valuable feedback from students. The University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria has shared this feedback with the project consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n
