The main goal with the project is through collaboration within the three HEI's to give companies, HEI's and students a European mindset in times of growing nationalism. This was gained by cross-national activities that lead to knowledge sharing and network building. The activities completed in this project has added value to all stakeholders. The 3 HEI's, VIA University College, Stichting Fontys and Hochschule Offenburg were the main parties because these schools were part of founding the concept Midplus Knowledge Cluster. Since 2016 Midplus has gained experience through activities leading us to conclude that knowledge sharing needs to be enhanced as to gain a mindset that will mean more employable students, companies participation in our curricular at the HEI's and finally teachers getting a broader knowledge base. In this project we also included alumni in order to create a stronger bond with companies and thus increasing places for internships and thesis work. The project have attached associated partners, HZ Vlissingen, Holland and HAMK Finland. The idea on a longer term is to expand Midplus to other HEI's across Europe using our network and the developed IT platform. The activities were split two ways: 1) we have created a Midplus Communication and Collaboration platform to: - secure a European network of companies and their core competences and knowledge - secure a European database of the competencies at the HEI's - secure a European Alumni network 2) we have involved students, teachers and companies in project activities as to clarify: - the different teaching cultures - evaluation of the ECTS point system in cross-national projects - and enhance a cross-national teachers network - the involvement of companies - how Midplus activities can meet the requirements of companies as to have them involved This workload of these activities were split equally between the 3 HEI’s and all activities had students and teachers participating from each HEI. We did not succeed in evaluation of the ECTS system due to very different ways of handling courses in curricula, but we did gain insight into how to incorporate projects into local HEI´s curricula.Through articles, presentations and networking the HEI's has disseminate knowledge to the local area thus making the HEI’s more attractive to coming students, companies and teachers. On a national level the Midplus project will support the European mindset among the students, companies, teachers and other internal/external stakeholders in times of growing nationalism in European countries. On a European level Midplus invites other countries and their HEI’s universities to become part of the network. This will gain a European-wide network of logisticians with all the different cultures in Europe involved. The current partners are interested in broadening the network after a period of consolidation and following this project. The EU funding has helped to establish tools necessary to cope with a growing number of partners with different backgrounds within the network.The project has involved teachers, students and companies. In Top-weeks typically 5 students from each HEI as well as 2-3 teachers were involved and with a duration of 5 days. Due to Covid-19 many Top-weeks and company activities could not be performed in the way they were intented. Online activities were developed and executed with good results, but it was not possible to have the amount of Top-weeks and company projects as planned. Companies refused to participate since they wanted to focus on their core business and students expressed that they didn’t want to participate in more online activities. The Midplus Communication and Collaboration platform has involved IT students and teachers for its development. The Midplus project has been innovative as it has addressed the logistics mindset in a networking and transnational collaboration context. Even though there have been many transnational projects, the discipline of Logistics and the exchange of knowledge between HEI's and companies has been new. Through this project knowledge is created from HEI’s delivering talents to the companies and back to HEI’s through alumni students. This serves employer branding, connects companies to young and experienced talents and addresses and supports the problem of a shortage of skilled labour force. The IT platform support this.
