Living in a period of serious transformations related to data, interface, people, or experiences, we are thinking of the biggest impact on accounting education, research, and practice of digitalization. According to the research performed, there are awarns on the risk to the accountant profession, suggestions being made that technological knowledge should be integrated into the curricula and adapted to the change requirement. Starting from these issues and the European concerns, in order to identify and respond directly to the needs of our students as future graduates and accountants, the STAMP ONLINE project is welcome!

General Objective:

-Creation of an international online environment in the digital era to reengineer/ replace the knowledge as well as key competencies and skills that students and teachers will acquire to be directly useful to the international financial-accounting labor market.

Specific Objectives:

SO1. To redesign the relationship between scientific and practical environment by innovative activities in comprehensive research in the scope of useful application in the teaching-learning-practical environment.

SO2. Restructure or replace knowledge and key competencies and skills that will be acquired by exploiting disruptive information technology in order to test and implement a custom platform that will help to support students and teachers and to promote and reward excellence in teaching and skills development.

The target group of the project is students from partner universities. The teaching staff is the direct beneficiaries of the project.

Activities performed:

A1. PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

We expect that our project will have an impact on a regional, national and European level. The outcomes of the project will enhance the quality of education of the higher education institutions using all the intellectual outputs innovatively produced within the project. The students will increase their employability in internationally acting institutions. Also, the project could foster international labor market mobility.

Overall we expect a significant enhancement in teaching in higher education institutions in Europe.

The project results focus on supporting innovation in the financial accounting domain, developing innovative intellectual products focused on the market needs, and providing a structured

dissemination and exploitation of the developed innovative intellectual products, enhancing the quality and relevance of students’ key knowledge and skills.
