What is an intellectual output?
In the context of Erasmus+ projects, an “Intellectual Output” refers to a tangible outcome or result that is produced during the implementation of the project. It represents the project’s intellectual contribution to a specific field or area of work.
Intellectual Outputs can take various forms depending on the nature of the project and its objectives. They can include:
- Training materials: The development of educational resources, manuals, handbooks, or guidelines that aim to enhance knowledge and skills in a particular subject area.
- Curricula or syllabi: The creation or revision of educational curricula or syllabi to align with specific learning objectives and target groups.
- Research reports or studies: Conducting research activities and producing reports or studies that explore specific topics, provide insights, or contribute to the existing knowledge base.
- Online platforms or tools: The development of web-based platforms, e-learning modules, mobile applications, or other digital tools designed to support learning, collaboration, or knowledge exchange.
- Policy recommendations or guidelines: The formulation of policy recommendations or guidelines based on the research findings and project outcomes, aiming to influence policies and practices in a particular field.
- Best practices guides: The compilation of case studies or examples of best practices in a specific area, sharing successful approaches, methodologies, or strategies.
- Publications: The creation of academic papers, articles, books, or other written materials that disseminate project findings, research, or theoretical frameworks.
These intellectual outputs are intended to have a lasting impact beyond the duration of the Erasmus+ project. They are often freely accessible to the public, allowing for wider dissemination and utilization by educators, researchers, professionals, and stakeholders in the relevant field.
