WP6

WP6. EMPOWER to Educate: Co-designed research and education. Leads: Crina Damsa, Mary Sutphen

This WP will explore empirically i) how the interdisciplinary team of researchers and practitioners collaborate to generate new understanding of the sustainability concept in relation to EV batteries; and ii) how the collaborative approach we will use in the project, along with the co-design undertaken, becomes embedded in education curricula, taught and learned by young people, (PhD) students and early-stage researchers. WP6 will address the following RQs: 1) How do EMPOWER researchers (WP1-5), who will also be educators in this WP, use research from other WPs in their teaching? In turn, how does their EMPOWER collaboration influence their research or teaching?; 2) How can research-based educational approaches be co-designed, taught and implemented to support young peoples’ learning about sustainable EV batteries?
