Main objetives
The EDURISK-UN project aims to develop a strategic framework for multilingual Open Educational Resources (OER) focused on risk, sustainability, and uncertainty. The project identifies educational needs and maps existing practices. It supports the co-design of an interdisciplinary OER concept through collaboration among partner universities. Stakeholder consultations validate the proposed educational framework and contribute to its refinement. The project also prepares a strategic roadmap to support future implementation and long-term sustainability. It strengthens international cooperation by promoting knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary dialogue, and the co-creation of innovative educational resources. Expected outputs include needs assessment reports, an academic working group, a pilot multilingual OER concept, stakeholder consultation results, dissemination activities, and a strategic roadmap for future development.
