- Graz University of Technology (TU GRAZ; AT): Thinking in new dimensions. Studying with a future. Achieving more together, with knowledge, technology and passion – that is TU Graz, since 1887.
- Institut für Technologie und Arbeit (ITA; DE): Technologies are almost never the solution to a problem, but rather their embedding in the respective organisational context and the participation of future technology users.
All partners involved in BELVEDERE have direct access to the target group of professionals responsible for implementing guidance, training and placement for disadvantaged clients. AP13, HAA, atempo, ENABLE and Aura Fundacio belong to this group. In total, about 250 of their staff belong to the direct target group of BELVEDERE. Some of them have already many years of experience in using ICT in their processes, and training their staff in using the ICT appropriately, while others are relatively new to the topic. With this arrangement, the project aims at covering the whole spectrum of digital maturity in comparable organisations. The consortium’s expertise is complemented by TU GRAZ as an expert in the development of online media and by ITA as an expert in digital transformation processes.
