Needs analysis and specific objectives. The media sector is facing several challenges at the local and regional levels, especially in sparsely populated European regions. Digitization facilitated the publication of news in different formats and the digital transition caused changes in the consumption and monetization of news content, which increased the competitiveness of the market, especially in the radio sector, which saw its listeners, mainly young people, switch to sources online, and advertising revenues drop considerably. This has impacted the financial sustainability of local and regional radios which, in many cases, had to close their activities. In addition, the context calls into question the professional practice of journalism (they now need to be multipurpose) and the fight against disinformation and undermines the plural, democratic and inclusive nature of the media. For this reason, it is difficult to attract and retain young journalists, for example. Even so, there is some attempt to reverse this scenario. Some radio stations have bet on opinion journalism, for example. Others, although broadcasting online, have not yet managed to digitize their contents, for example, exploring them in podcast format. And, to face the challenges and opportunities, it becomes imperative to develop skills and employment for journalists and communication professionals, as well as to support structural and technological changes that make journalism more cooperative, collaborative, sustainable, and resilient.

Needs analysis and specific objectives. An accident during the transport of dangerous goods is a sudden and uncontrolled release of dangerous and harmful goods into the environment. Fires, explosions, high pressure and sudden release of contaminants causes great casualties, injuries, devastation, material damage and long-term degradation of the environment with unforeseeable consequences. The risk associated with the TDG is strongly related to the human factor. Mission of activities in the field of TDG is dedicated to pursuit and implementation of the most appropriate scientific methods and the best practice about the risk analysis procedures during the TDG. The long-term impact of such improved education will also positively affect the behaviour and attitudes of people, and will provide a greater pool of information relevant to the safe transport of dangerous goods. WBC have conducted an analysis of needs of private and state-owned subjects, and number of working positions that require additional competencies in the field of TDG is identified. Also, they have analysed their transport and traffic engineering curricula and found significant space for improvements. Based on the identified weaknesses, and taking into account specific objectives defined by the Erasmus plus program guide (section Capacity Building in the field of higher education), the Specific objectives of the project for all WBC are as follows: 1) To improve existing and develop new TDG curricula for undergraduate and master studies in accordance with Bologna requirements and national accreditation standards through implementing new/modernized courses. These courses should cover provisions concerning dangerous goods, transport equipment and transport operations, as well as the risk assessment tools, vehicles monitoring systems, and route-planning systems based on network analyses performance. The aim of the improved study programs is to include the different disciplines such as transport, environmental sciences, politics, supply chain management, security management and the risk management needed for a safer TDG, where research institutions, members of the DG supply chain, service providers, public administrations and end-users will work together. 2) To analyse and improve current risk analysis management procedures and risk assessments on transport routes and new routing solutions into WBC. Herein, we are finding and applying the most appropriate scientific methods and the best practice about what issues should be included in ris...
