DECART intensive program at RWTH Aachen University

In December 2024, RWTH Aachen University hosted an intensive program as part of the Erasmus+ project DECART (Agility, Resilience and Transformation in Curriculum Design). The event brought together representatives from all partner institutions at the university’s teaching and research area for Gender & Diversity in Engineering.

The meeting focused on the development and testing of a serious game designed to simulate the challenges of a VUCA environment in curriculum design. Participants worked through several phases, including situational analysis, identifying key vulnerabilities, and building adaptive capacities. This hands-on, game-based approach offered practical insights into how curricula can be transformed to become more agile and responsive.

Another key topic was the creation of a decision-making tool to help universities systematically evaluate and strengthen the resilience of their curricula. This tool aims to support institutions in designing programs that remain relevant and effective in an ever-changing global context.
