GRIT in the Universities landscape

The GRIT project, guided by the slogan "Growth mind-set through Resilient Intelligent Technologies," embarks on a mission to enhance the development of non-cognitive skills among young researchers and students. Its overarching objective is to foster social awareness, civic commitment, and public engagement through the application of machine learning techniques, sentiment analysis, and gamification. Specifically, GRIT aims to elevate Higher Education Institutions' (HEIs) social dimension, pioneer a new era in continuing education, and fortify academic communities' resilience for open innovation.

As part of this transformative journey, a comprehensive Handbook has been meticulously crafted, drawing from both desk and field research. This Handbook delves into various critical aspects pertinent to GRIT's mission, offering insights into the evolving role of universities in contemporary society. It explores the myriad challenges facing our world today, from environmental sustainability to digitalization, shifting workforce dynamics, and cultural transitions. Within its chapters, the Handbook navigates through the intricate landscape of educational paradigms, addressing the imperative of adapting to digital transformation and fostering digital readiness within academic institutions. It reflects on the evolving mission of universities, emphasizing the importance of building institutions equipped to meet the challenges of the future.

Furthermore, the Handbook goes beyond technical skills, delving into the realm of socio-emotional competencies and civic engagement. It examines the concept of GRIT and its infusion into civic participation, offering insights into ethical and moral development crucial for navigating the complexities of modern society. The culmination of this desk and field research provides a roadmap for the GRIT project, illuminating the path towards resilience, innovation, and growth.

As we embark on this remarkable journey, stay tuned for updates as we unravel the transformative potential of GRIT in shaping the future of education and society!
