M5 - Transnational Final project meeting in SULSIT, Bulgaria in November 2016,

Immediately after the Closing Conference in Bulgaria where APInno and its results have been presented.

Project partners consulted representatives from HEIs and businesses beyond the range of countries represented in the project, to gauge the potential of the APInno results. The created network of possible end-users formed the basis for maintenance and further development of the outputs. The innovative educational content, methods and approach gave the basis for further adaptation and inclusion in various study fields and at least two qualification levels so it could be implemented beyond the reach of the project helping in this way to overcome some of the barriers to lasting and sustainable growth. Important part of the multiplication is the use and implementation of the model for collaboration via the Guide for academia-business collaboration.

In addition, all the partners participated in series of events to promote the results and methodology of APInno in UK, Spain, Italy and Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Macedonia, Thailand, Greece, Israel, Kazakhstan, and Slovenia, where the most significant of them were the workshops under UNESCO patronage: National Conference ICT in Library Studies, Education and Cultural Heritage in honour of the 70th anniversary of UNESCO and the 65th anniversary of UNIBIT, under the patronage of the National Commission for UNESCO, in Sofia, May 29, 2015, in Latvia, 2016, at Microsoft annual meeting Global Educational Event in 2015, the UNESCO International workshop of QED'17 2016, 13-15.7.2016 dedicated on APInno methodology only, where the policymakers from UNESCO national chairs representing 25+ countries worldwide played and experienced the APInno invention process.
