ECO-GT Project Completes Focus Groups – Advancing International Communication Skills for Green-Transition Engineers
TU Dublin, as part of the ECO-GT (Engineers Communicating & Collaborating Internationally for the Green Transition) project has successfully completed a series of focus groups, marking a significant milestone in the drive to develop effective international communication skills among green-transition engineers. These focus groups, held across various specialisms in civil and structural engineering, are a crucial step towards enhancing collaboration between engineers, researchers, business leaders, and policymakers in addressing the global climate crisis.
The ECO-GT project is dedicated to strengthening the capacity of engineering students at TU Dublin, to influence the diffusion of innovative green technologies. By fostering superior communication skills, the project aims to bridge gaps between diverse communities involved in the green transition, thereby accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices and solutions.
Key outcomes from the focus groups include valuable insights into the specific communication needs of green-transition engineers and the challenges they face in international collaboration. These findings will directly inform the development of the project’s innovative competency framework, which is designed to be both implementable and impactful.
