Data collection and analysis of the social impact of the proposal. US team will be collecting data from the different ACP HEI and will come up with social impact indices. In the end and in line with the final meeting (January 2022) we have planned an International Conference on ACP Higher Education (focused on Geology/Mining) where the conclusions of the study will benefit the European partners and we expect to use them in the improvement of the European Courses of the involved institutions (UC, USAL and UNITO) and hopefully with ripples to other similar European Institutions.
