May 17 – The possibility to connect with specialized centers in Germany and Sweden, to strengthen one’s skills and knowledge, is made possible thanks to Bartok (Business Advisors Training Opportunity and Knowledge). It is the latest international project to which Aster, the association for innovation and technology transfer in Emilia-Romagna, had adhered on behalf of Italy. Funded by the European Union program “Lifelong Learning,” Bartok allows its partners to develop a curriculum for further education and training of professionals. The project, also part of the Leonardo da Vinci program, helps fill a gap in the areas of continuing education and public administrative authorities throughout the European Union. Other partners include Kompass, incubation and innovation center in Frankfurt; Kkikk, consulting business and networking in Gothenburg (Sweden); and Tigz, an institute of economic development in the administrative district of Groß Gerau, Germany. Each will organize a series of trainings dedicated to operators new to the country-specific method transfers. As for Aster, it will plan a 5-day training cycle on topics related to the support of innovative startups. The first training day will be dedicated to internationalization (“How to help startups in their approach with foreign markets”) to be held May 28 from 14.30 to 18.30 in room 215 of the Research Area of CNR in Bologna (Via Gobetti 101).
