Our project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. Seven organizations in three European countries are collaborating and implementing the OSCAR Project together.
The partnership comprises a mix of organizations, combining researchers and practitioners with the capacity to deploy the project’s innovative outcomes on a European scale. The project partners bring together and complement each other in the necessary expertise in the topics that are part of the project: software engineering, computing education, software startups, and human factors in software engineering.
Moreover, the project involves public authorities as associated partners to support the activities of the educational institutions and encourage the participation to the coding camps.
