Curriculum Developer
The Curriculum Developer supports the educational development in the EUTOPIA Connected Communities throughout their lifecycle. The curriculum developer collaborates closely with the central monitor and local facilitators to organise regular meetings with community leads and partners on partnership development. The developer helps foster engagement and innovation in the development of the connected communities, while providing strategic guidance on consolidating community activities and working with the coordinating body to establish sustainable practices that preserve the value gained as communities reach maturity.
The local facilitators (one in each university) act as the interface between the central team and the staff and students participating/interested in the CCs and their cross-campus education and research activities. They provide logistical and administrative support to staff in the home university, facilitate staff and students engagement in cross-campus activities, help draft local requests for recognition and showcase community efforts. Local facilitators work closely with the central monitor to gather and report local indicators on the efforts of staff and students, and address a number of operational cross-campus needs that arise in the development of cross-campus activities.
