Representatives of partner universities in the ENRICHER hubs project Designing Green Tourism Concepts Through Learning (ENRICHER HUBS – PROJECT ERASMUS-EDU-2022-CBHE-STRAND-2) on 16, June, held an online meeting to discuss the project's current results and plan future work.
At the beginning of the meeting, participants shared their impressions of the ENRICHER project presentation conference, held in Chisinau on May 19-21 this year. Participants had the opportunity to exchange impressions and lessons learned during the project's activities. The results of the Chisinau conference participant survey were presented during the meeting. According to the feedback received, the event was highly rated. Participants found the opportunities for professional networking, sharing experiences, learning about new approaches and practices, and participating in the excursion program to be particularly valuable.
Special attention was paid to the development of the project's Sustainability Plan. The partners discussed the progress of surveys and interviews with representatives of the university teams participating in the project, the results of which will be used in preparing the final document. The first draft of the Sustainability Plan is scheduled for completion by mid-July.
Participants also reviewed the draft Exploitation Strategy, which includes mechanisms for disseminating and applying the results, open access, intellectual property, ethical aspects, and assessing the long-term impact of the project.
One of the key topics was the preparation of a joint document, "New Approaches to Sustainable Tourism." Participants emphasized the importance of involving faculty working with students in the Tourism program in the development of this document.
The meeting concluded with a discussion of organizational matters for the final meeting of the project participants, which will be held from October 6 to 8, 2026, in Innsbruck, Austria.
