The Departments of Journalism and Media and Informatics of AUTh, together with five other distinguished European universities, created the first MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) on the European Cohesion Policy that was launched by the European Commission.
The course aims to address the gaps in journalism education and promote knowledge about Cohesion Policy and its multiple benefits for European regions and cities. It is designed for journalism students, professionals and anyone interested.
In 2022, the Commission launched a €1 million call for proposals to create a course focused on Cohesion Policy. The winning proposal was developed by a consortium of institutions consisting of the Technical University of Dortmund (Germany), the University of Porto (Portugal), the University of Wroclaw (Poland), the Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca (Romania), the Aristotle University and the AP University of Antwerp (Belgium) and journalistic organisations.
MOOC is a free, interactive e-learning platform available in all EU languages. It covers key areas such as EU governance, Cohesion Policy, available tools for finding data on the EU, cross-border cooperation and research partnerships. It is structured in 14 modules and spans a full semester. The course is available from today at: https://cope.csd.auth.gr/
