IPTF - Innovation Procurement Task Force

🌟PROCEDIN's explainer video is out! 🌟 ℹ️ PROCEDIN’s goal is to accelerate the Procurement of Innovation (POI) focusing on two critical areas of innovation – Circular Economy and Green Mobility! The project’s key highlights: - Expertise and Resource Support – by providing expertise, guidance, and tools to facilitate POI adoption, while also leveraging existing resources and initiating provisions to enhance POI motivation, knowledge, and skills. - Mapping Complex Landscape – by identifying gaps in provision with the mapping of expertise, experience, and learning infrastructure. - Leadership Capacity – by emphasizing building leadership capacity for innovation among buyers and vendors. 🔗 Follow for more information and updates, and don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter! 📬www.procedin.eu Stay tuned! 🎬👇 Check PROCEDIN’s video below! #PROCEDIN #Innovation #ProcurementInnovation #ProcurementRevolution University of Twente | PEDAL Consulting | F6S Innovation | Gemeente Haarlem | Gabrovo Municipality

Let's invest together in the future of procurement. 🌍 On the PROCEDIN website (www.procedin.eu), you can find free teaching materials that are valuable for both practitioners and educational institutions, including cases and training courses that can be used directly in education and practical training. 🧑🎓 How can we make our students more aware of the crucial role and impact of public procurement in various programmes? And how can we embed student-centred education more strongly in our existing curricula? However, this responsibility does not stop with higher education. The next step lies with employers, who must attract and retain young professionals for the long term. 👩🎓 How can they create attractive roles allowing growth, innovation and learning off the beaten track? Together, we can work towards a future in which public procurement becomes a natural and inspiring choice for the professionals of tomorrow. 🏰 The website also contains a stakeholder folder and a course example of public procurement. This course outline can be used as a whole or in part. Individual parts can be used to enrich existing lessons. Furthermore, helpful advice documents are available for students, purchasing professionals and teachers. 🏫 Students can find advice on organising an internship or graduation project in public procurement. For professionals and teachers, there is a document with guidance tips for internships and graduation research. All these documents are freely accessible and can be freely distributed. #publicprocurement #education #public #procurement University of Twente, Gemeente Haarlem, Gabrovo Municipality, F6S, PEDAL Consulting.
