DBTechNet


DBTechNet is an initiative of European education institutions and IT-companies to set up a transnational collaboration scheme of higher level educational establishments, IT enterprises and vocational training centres who will collaborate in order to achieve a three-fold goal, namely:
  • Developing public educational/training material and references, including free VM based laboratories and tutorials, on database/data access technologies
  • Design and develop virtual workshop type course modules on selected database topics that will address the wide spectrum of new trends, backed by online support from a network of educational and IT professional experts
  • Promote entrepreneurship by developing a business plan of operation, which will make it possible for the collaboration scheme in question to evolve into a self-sustained consortium that will function within the new emerging reality of education and vocational training in today’s information and communication technology driven society.

The Web is the standard computing platform for the development of new generation information systems. The emergence of new applications (analytical and knowledge discovery software, portals, transactional Web services, etc.) drives the search for more robust and scalable tools to support data management running on the Internet.

 Themes in 2015-2018

Conference papers on "Big Live Data" with reliable real-time updates

 DBTechNet Projects

DBTech VET, October 2012 - December 2014. The project is partly funded by The European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme.

The aim of the project is to renew the teaching of database technologies in VET (vocational education and training) institutes that it will be based on the current and real needs of ICT industry in Europe, and so that teaching meets the European wide standard of a pedagogical approach. The produced materials will be adaptable in all partner countries and translated into national languages. Training of the VET teachers will be done with the systems used by working life and they are taught to guide students to learning by verifying.
