Development idea
The lack of efficient utilization of human capital to develop the competitiveness of the region is a mutual challenge in Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Sweden. A vast amount of innovation research exists, but bringing the results into practise has proven to be more challenging.
Aim of the project
The INTO PRACTISE project established a Central Baltic Innovation Network of the education sector and companies to optimize the human potential at work and in learning. Furthermore, the project developed the learning environments in vocational education so that the innovation capacity of students and labour force can be better utilized.
Main project activities
In addition to establishing the network, the project organised innovation seminars in Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Latvia. Innovative practices in companies were examined and, based on this research, the project partners produced different study materials as well as a good practice database.
