Abstract
to these changes and the available information and
communication technologies (ICT) pose a number of challenges
to present and future product developers, as well as to
educational institutions. An appropriate response to these
challenges is to create a solid basis for strategies to combat
stronger competition, since existing educational programs have
provided this only to a small extent. In our opinion, the E-GPR
course carried out by 5 European universities reflects the tasks
of professional product development teams and their work
conditions as realistically as possible and will enable students
attending the E-GPR course who will soon enter the
professional world to later progress along a steeper learning
curve. This paper focuses on the role of communication
between members of virtual teams and presents experiences
gathered during the organization, designing and performance of
each year’s courses.
