aLIFEca

This work package focused on the overall management of the project and the coordination of all involved partners. The main tasks included setting up working procedures, ongoing monitoring of activity implementation, and managing financial and administrative processes. Emphasis was placed on effective team communication, regular reporting to the grant provider, and timely resolution of potential challenges to ensure the smooth progress of the entire project.

The key objective of this work package was to create educational content for an open online course focused on life cycle assessment of automotive products. The partners first identified the needs of the target group, designed the course syllabus, and subsequently developed multimedia teaching materials, including lectures, videos, case studies, and supporting documents. The course was designed to be accessible online and usable both independently and as part of university teaching.

This work package focused on the pilot verification of the course among students and academic staff. Testing phases were carried out, during which the course was implemented at partner universities and feedback from participants was collected. Based on the evaluation, the content was revised and adjustments were made to improve the didactic effectiveness of the course. The outcome was the confirmation that the course is applicable in various contexts of higher education and provides relevant environmental competences.

The aim of this work package was to ensure that the course acquired an international character and stood out in terms of quality and applicability within the European context. As part of the work package, a certification framework was designed, which enabled students, after successfully completing the entire course, to receive electronic badges as proof of completion. The activities also included linking the course content to the Europe-wide skills database within the Automotive Skills Ecosystem, thereby supporting the broad dissemination of the aLIFEca course and its use for upskilling or reskilling in the field of sustainable mobility.

The final work package focused on promoting the project outputs and planning their long-term use. The partners created a project website, dissemination materials and organised events for both the academic and professional public. The aim was to raise awareness of the importance of LCA in the automotive sector and to motivate other institutions to make use of the developed course.
