ENTER aims to pilot a sustainable, data-driven model for academia and community engagement in India and Malaysia. By sharing and co-creating environmental data, the project brings EU expertise to:

• Create an operational data-sharing framework, curricula support for community engagement, and a student mentorship program.

• Deliver ICT infrastructure for data-driven pilots at HEIs in India and Malaysia.

• Develop innovative curricula (degrees, microcredentials, challenges) and teaching methods for ongoing, participatory environmental data use.

• Build HEI and stakeholder capacity through sustainable education and participatory activities.

Key outputs and activities:

• 5 living labs, 4 citizen science projects, and links to research and education.

• 70 ECTS of degree and microcredential courses; 3 hackathons; learning materials on ENTERnet with 460+ students enrolled.

• Access to data and research facilities for partners; 20+ training and dissemination events reaching academic and broader stakeholders (including “engagement managers” training).

Alignment:

• Supports EC and EU Global Gateway priorities: EU Green Deal, Digital Transformation, Governance and Security, Sustainable Growth and Jobs, and inclusive, transparent decision-making for vulnerable groups.
