UG TeProD project team attends 3rd TeProD Meeting at UEW
The TeProD Project held its 3rd Project Meeting (TPM) at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), from 8 to 12 December 2025, with strong participation from all partner institutions, including a delegation from the University of Ghana. The project aims to develop the professional competencies of both Higher Education Institution (HEI) teachers and students in support of the Twin Transition (digital and green transformation).
UEW, a key partner in the project, hosted consortium members at its North Campus Students’ Centre for five days of intensive meetings, workshops, and field activities. The University continues to play a central role in the TeProD Project by leading Work Package 4 (Training and Piloting) and coordinating several critical activities. These include digitalisation and green transition co-creation workshops, the development of personal development roadmaps, stakeholder training, collaborative twin-transition initiatives, and the organisation of webinars and seminars.
Participation at the 3rd TPM reflected broad engagement across the partnership, with three (3) representatives from HHUAS, two (2) from the Technical University of Košice (TUKE), Slovakia, six (6) from the International University of Management (IUM), and four (4) (Prof. Owusu Acheampong, Dr. Samuel Atarah, Dr. Abeeku Sam Edu, Victoria Dzifa Oklu from the University of Ghana (UG). The meeting reviewed progress across project activities, facilitated meaningful interactions among partners, enabled the sharing of new knowledge with students and colleagues, and set strategic directions for the next phase of implementation.
Proceedings officially opened on Monday, 8 December, with welcome remarks from UEW Management, led by Prof. Stephen Jobson Mitchual, alongside contributions from Prof. Enoch Sam, Head of the Directorate of Research, Innovation and Development (DRID).
