In total, the alliance has over 70,000 students in 588 study programs at 40 locations in 9 countries.<\/p>\n<p>By introducing new and flexible learning pathways for dual education, including two joint master&rsquo;s programs and a joint doctoral program, EU4DUAL aims to equip students with the necessary skills to tackle three of the Grand Challenges facing Europe in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The three challenges that EU4DUAL focuses on are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Future of Work<\/li>\n<li>Green Economy<\/li>\n<li>Healthy Living<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>EU4DUAL will set up a joint micro-credential portal that will be available to students and staff at all partner institutions. In addition, the universities will collaborate on research projects related to the three Grand Challenges. Another important goal is to enable at least 50 percent of our students and staff to gain mobility experience at the partner universities. An EU4DUAL Local Office has been set up at FH JOANNEUM. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fh-joanneum.at\/en\/news\/wir-sind-eu4dual\/\">Here<\/a> you can find out more about the project staff and their tasks and responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div\n    id=\"\"\n    class=\"wp-block-akkordeon margin-bottom-normal\"\n>\n    <div class=\"container-lg\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n                                                <div class=\"col-12\">\n                        <h3 class=\"mb-0\"><\/h3>\n\n                                                                                                                    <div class=\"accordion-element-accordion\">\n                                    <a\n                                        data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                                        class=\"arrow-link large-arrow py-3 pe-1 d-block border-bottom collapsed\"\n                                        href=\"#accordion-1121811029\"\n                                    >\n                                        <h4\n                                            class=\"accordion-title mb-0 d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between\">\n                                            <span>Work Package 1 &#8211;
