Open call

This call for innovation projects of the Aragonese Community is still open and proposals can be submitted at any time up to June 2022.

The Directorate General for Innovation and Vocational Training, with this call, wants the centres to promote innovative initiatives that may involve the transfer of knowledge to the companies in their environment. As stated in the RESOLUTION of 12 March 2021, "the projects will also serve to improve the teaching practice of teachers and in turn improve the professional skills of their students and increase their motivation for current and future learning".

6. To develop innovative teaching resources for vocational training in face-to-face or distance mode, such as simulators or other technological tools.
7. To propose sustainable processes and solutions that promote innovation in the productive, industrial and service sectors.
