PFH Göttingen was founded in 1995 and is a private and state-recognized University of Applied Sciences in Germany. Since 2020 it is member of Galileo Global Education Group. In April 2021, 4,000 students were enrolled in one of the 30 study programmes in Management, Engineering Sciences, Psychology and Business Psychology, Business Law, Technology or in Healthcare Technology. They study either at one of the two campus locations in Göttingen or Stade or at one of the distance-learning centres located across Germany and Austria.
In 2011, PFH developed the Bachelor study programme Orthobionics. It combines medical, orthopaedic technology and business management contents for future executives of the entire orthopaedic technology industry. All campus courses impart practical and modern knowledge, which prepares students for the demands of the job market. The practice-oriented Bachelor’s degree (8 semesters) with a high proportion of workshop training requires personnel-intensive supervision.
The course was awarded the highest distinction in the CAT1 category by the International Society of Prosthetics and Orthotics (ISPO).

Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna (SSSA) is a public university whose mission is to address excellence in both education and research in engineering, medicine, agriculture, economics, management, law and political science.
Since 2015 SSSA and The University of Pisa jointly offer a two-year M.Sc. program in Bionics Engineering (https://www.bionicsengineering.it/edu/). Bionics indicates the research area which integrates the most advanced robotics and bioengineering technologies with life sciences, such as medicine and neuroscience, materials science, etc., with the ultimate goal of inventing and deploying a new generation of biomimetic machines, human-centred healthcare and assistive technologies. One of the primary goals of the M.Sc. in Bionics Engineering is to challenge a selected core of very highly qualified students that, besides acquiring high-level professional skills, will foster the progress of the research activities in the bionics field and transfer scientific insights into market opportunities.
Part of the activities of the PROMOTE project are carried out at The BioRobotics Institute of SSSA (T-BRI, http://sssa.bioroboticsinstitute.it), within the Wearable Robotics Laboratory (WRL, www.santannapisa.it/en/wearable-robotics-laboratory).
Human Study e.V. (HS) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to make continued professional development in rehabilitation sciences accessible by providing feasible, cost-effective and internationally recognized educational programs.

Almost 30 years ago TM started a Bachelor level training in the field of orthopaedics.
This was the first such training in the Benelux. They expanded, through time, adding a bachelor training in Shoe Technology. In 2010 the orthopaedics training was accredited by ISPO as a cat 1 training. More recently, TM started a more specialised programme which allows students to specialise more in a specific field of interest within P&O. In 2021 they will start a complete BSc programme in Orthopaedic technology, specialised in orthotics, in English. The TM BSc in Orthopaedic Technology has always strived to be innovative, in collaboration with the local and international work field.

In 2005 blinc, the blended learning institutions’ cooperative was founded in Goettingen, Germany as a start-up network from based on former EU-funded LIFE and eLearning projects in the health, social and environmental sector.
The main domain of blinc is “Competence Oriented Learning and Validation (COL&V)” with a focus on modern, technology-supported blended learning.
The blinc eG is a German cooperative working in:
- Innovative fields of learning and validation,
- innovative formats for contents like circular economy, design thinking, entrepreneurship education, CSR and Sustainable Development Goals
- Holistic technology-supported blended learning systems
It is consisting of 25 members forming an interdisciplinary team of project managers, trainers, teachers and coaches, programmers, media designers and blended learning creators. Since 2005 the blinc eG has been collaborating as a partner organisation in 40 European funded projects, from 2017 on it has been also a lead partner in two ERASMUS+ projects.
Since December 2007 blinc eG has been appointed by its members to foster the valorisation of the LEVEL5 approach for Competence Oriented Learning and Validation.
Starting in 2012, blinc has constantly customised and contextualised the LEVEL5 Competence Oriented Learning and Validation (COL&V) approach and the related instruments in various informal learning areas; in Mobility Actions, Volunteering, Intercultural and Entrepreneurial learning programmes, European Project works and various learning on the job settings. We have been piloting LEVEL5 in different sectors in continuing professional developments, for instance in the service sector, in HR development, CSR or in CPD projects for educational professionals.
Starting in 2007, blinc has organised nine European REVEAL conferences with more than 800 participants on innovative approaches on competence oriented learning and validation.
Since 2016 blinc has been focusing on innovative training and learning sectors like entrepreneurship education, design thinking, circular economy, sustainable development. Our vision is to provide innovative, technology-supported learning offers to enhance the development in these domains.
blinc eG, as European cooperative is the home of the REVEAL network which hosts the LEVEL5 products for further exploitation (competence-oriented learning and validation)n as well as all the learning platform solutions (LMS. E-portfolio, validation software).
It has a long record of evaluations carried out in more than 25 LLP and ERASMUS projects in the last programme periods.
As its name reveals, the blinc is a specialist cooperative in the field of blended learning. Hence it is a specialist for web-based learning with a focus on didactically valuable and rather informal learning settings. Since 2016 it has designed and delivered a blended collaborative learning programme for HE in the Balkan countries (projects REBUS and e-VIVA) as ERASMUS CNHE projects. The experiences gained therein will be transferred into online learning formats.
Blinc is also a specialist in the validation of informal and non-formal learning.
In a series of ERASMUS+ projects, it has developed approaches, scientific evidences, tools and lighthouse projects on applied validation in different professional domains and for diverse sets of professional and generic (social/personal
and organisational) competences.
With this experience, blinc will substantially support the development within the PROMOTE project, especially at the interface of the three target groups (BSc, VET and PhD) who will not only need different learning modules but also different competence profiles, frameworks, learning outcome descriptions and assessment and documentation formats.
All activities are customer-based and are aimed at the implementation of its development projects would it be about R&D, internationalisation, competitiveness increase, hiring of new people. Target clients are deep tech start ups as well SMEs, higher education institutes and other public administrations. The multidisciplinary team applies an innovative and holistic approach.
Consultancy on Italian funding opportunities is mainly related to national schemes and regional structural and public funds fostering R&D, digitisation, internationalisation and personnel trainings.
