4 February 2020 - Leuven (BE). The PREFER Project was successfully finished at the end of 2019 and its closing event on 4th February brought about 120 participants - students, teachers, researchers, industry professionals and educational developers - to Leuven in Belgium. The presenters took us through the development process, stakeholder-specific perspectives and introduced the practical implication final outcome of this project.

The project has indicated main roles and key competences for early-career engineers; tests for students to find what their own roles could be; and plug-and-play curriculum elements in order to train specific professional skills based on the students test results - this simple model is fully transferable to the contexts of other engineering education institutions and both students and employers find it very beneficial.

The participants discussed in depth the different phases of the two-year project to be ended in April, such as the guidelines and examples for using rapid prototyping to acquire practical skills in product design engineering, the sustainable partnership model among universities, communities and industry in the region and the results of the pilot phase in which the partnership model and the guidelines will be verified by industry and/or community-driven projects. The second day was essentially dedicated to discuss the final report to be sent to the Latvian ERASMUS Agency before April 30 as well as the financial report, and to a visit of the Faculty of Architecture 3D workshop.
The Project partners also discussed the follow up of the EBCC project, and the possible application for a new project in 2021.We hereby would like to thank all those who participated for the interesting exchanges and especially the TU Riga for the excellent welcome! A paper about the project will be prepared for the SEFI Annual Conference 2020.
