UCCrowd, coordinated by ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon, aims to strengthen the relationships between businesses and higher education institutions to create a synergy between the two entities. The project involves the development of an online platform where energy sector companies can present the challenges they face to university faculty and students from various European countries, thereby facilitating the identification of innovative solutions.

These activities are aimed at transferring the crowdsourcing model to the academic environment, revising curricula based on the actual needs of businesses, enhancing communication and knowledge exchange between workers and teachers, and creating a network of companies and universities engaged in the energy sector in Europe.
