Research processes (partial) - Project BPM in higher education institutionsTomislav Rozman
What is HEI-UP?
HEI-UP (Improving Business Processes in Higher Education Institutions) is a European project focused on upgrading BPM in HE (higher education) institutions through a common managerial model and offering an e-learning course for HEI managers under the umbrella of the European Certification and Qualification Association (ECQA).
Why business processes?
Business process management (BPM) has been argued to be a more effective and efficient way of managing organizations than a traditional hierarchical management approach.
Today, the most successful universities are business-oriented. An efficient BPM builds up an ideal environment for achieving a high level of pedagogical, research and administrative staff, and above all, student satisfaction.
What's in there for you and your institution?
The HEI-UP project gives you the opportunity to:
● Learn from and contribute to the managerial model developed within the project
● Become more aware of internal managerial efficiency through the tools and support provided
● Successfully align your business processes with the demands and needs of your students and faculty and
● Have free access to the BPM framework developed in the HEI-UP project.
What is expected from you?
We believe in the potentials and creative spirit of professional communities, so we expect that you:
● Engage in conversation with academics and BPM practitioners by sharing
good practices and challenges you or your institution have in relation to BPM,
● Share your BPM related research findings and thus contribute to BPM research or just exchange research ideas with fellow researchers or simply
● Observe and try to get out something good for your institution.
Public Private Partnerships In EgovernmentRobin Teigland
This presentation describes how project success can be ensured in a public-private partnership in egovernment. The case study is of ByggaVilla, a construction portal in Sweden.
Pantelis Kanellopoulos and Vassiliki Zalavra created this presentation in order to share experiences and lessons learnt from the latest EU funded projects they have implemented.
The presentation was made at the DigiNET training Week that was held in Athens Greece from the 28th of August until 1st of September 2018.

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.

Our seminar:
“How to write a successful proposal”
Dates:
18/19 February 2009: Humanities and Social Sciences in D 432
20/21 February 2009: Natural Sciences in D 432
27/28 March 2009: open for all disciplines in Y 310
Duration: Two days, 9 am to 5 pm
Each group comprises a maximum of 18 participants.
This interdisciplinary two day course will train scientists in writing professional and successful
proposals for research and education programmes funded by national, European and worldwide
funding institutions.
Projects funded by third parties are not only safeguarding jobs but also help young scientists to gain
professional experience and to qualify for their future careers. Scientific institutions of all kinds rely on
these kinds of projects in order to strengthen their statistics and to compete nationally and
internationally.
This course provides a step by step approach from the first idea to the finished proposal giving all kinds
of practical advice every step of the way. It takes a look at the philosophy behind the programmes,
provide tips on how to collect relevant information and give advice on how to find suitable partners.
Furthermore, it explains how to take a first idea and develop it from a rough abstract into detailed work
plans.
Examples will be presented on all topics covered in the course. Aspects of project management will also
be taken into account in order to prevent mistakes during the proposal drafting phase which might lead
to serious consequences when the project is carried out.
We will also deal with the following issues:
- How to elaborate the first idea step by step into a detailed work plan.
- How to find suitable partners and set up a successful consortium.
- How to approach the set-up of a financial plan and how to collect preliminary information.
- How to write a letter of intent and how to deal with legal matters.
Each programme has a different set of conditions. The course will, therefore, concentrate on the
structure and contents of the following programmes:
National programmes financed e.g. by Federal Ministries and the German Research
-
Foundation
European Programmes, e.g. the European Research Framework Programme
-
Other programmes will be covered on demand of the participants.
-
The basic strategy of proposal writing is, however, transferable to most of the other funding
programmes as well.
All project phases and important topics will be dealt with in small working groups. Participants are
encouraged to think about a project idea of their own and present this shortly during the seminar. The
seminar group will jointly decide which idea will be developed further during the two days. This
implies getting important feedback from the other participants and the two lecturers.
