What challenge did the project meet
Project answered the need that working life and educational institutes have when it comes to skills and know-how in robotics. The nation-wide project brought together the currently dispersed actors of robotics, covering both those who have the know-how and those who need it. Project focused in caring industry and industrial production.
Importance of individual competence
Individuals taking part in the project gain skills to support their lifelong learning and changing professional identities. Know-how in robotics includes, in addition to technical skills, also service design, resilience for change and ethical questions.
In addition, project prevented marginalization, as it brought new skills to workers of low education. Project did also diminish gender gap, bringing technological know-how to female-dominated industries and preventing the marginalization of low-educated males.
Utilization of previously acquired know-how
The Roboboost project did utilize the expertise previously developed and gained in the 6Aika-, ERDF- and ESF- projects.
