Creative Campus 2020 — development project

The CreativeKampus development package will be implemented as two separate projects: Creative Kampus 2020 development project and CreativeKampus 2020 investment project. The aim of the projects is to strengthen the conditions for education, entrepreneurship and research and development in the natural resources sector in the region by developing learning environments and promoting the use of new technologies. Primary production industries, in particular milk production, play an important role in the regional economy of Central Ostrobothnia, and education and training must meet the skills needs of working life. The aim is that the learning environment in livestock production in Kanus serves as a model for sustainable practices in areas such as animal welfare, feed production, the circular economy, biosafety and carbon-neutral operating models, and thereby promote the competitiveness of livestock farms in the region. The Creative Kampus 2020 development project explores the future dairy farm from the perspectives of well-being, functionality, automation, circular economy, biosafety and the latest technologies. The project designs a learning environment for livestock production that takes into account the needs of teaching and R & D activities, and the learning environment is designed to be pedagogically functional. The project will competitiveise the planning, construction and equipment procurement of the learning environment for livestock production, as well as equipment for simulation and animal care learning environments. During the project, information, models and experiences on planned and implemented solutions will be disseminated.  The learning environments and the new equipment base will be closely integrated into teaching and R & D activities. The projects will result in two new innovation platforms in Central Ostrobothnia. Kpedun Kannu will have a modern learning environment in animal husbandry that serves education and R & D activities. Within the learning environment, there is another innovation platform, a digital bridge, which enables data to be transmitted between the learning environment and the collaborative network. The result is also a RDI platform service developed on innovation platforms and a digital service for educational purposes. Cooperation with universities, research institutes and businesses is increasing and deepening. The procurement of simulators and equipment diversifys the offer of training, creates new training services and promotes learning. The projects support environmental sustainability and promote equality. The use of simulators reduces the use of non-renewable resources and environmental risks. In the learning environment of livestock production, renewable energy solutions and the effects of operations on the environment are taken into account. New solutions to lighten technological work will promote equality and equality by changing the working image of physical work towards monitoring and monitoring. In an up-to-date learning environment, it is possible to acquire skills guided by gender and resources. The management of modern technologies equals the employment of different genders.
