Summary of project results
University of Ljubljana entered into the project of the Slovene scholarship fund SI04, EEA and Norwegian Financial Mechanism in order to achieve the objectives that it has set in the university International strategy for the period 2012-2020. The strategy has identified internationalization and the international flow of knowledge and visibility as one of the strategic priorities. Mobility to Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein enabled students, teachers and university's employees to access advanced education and gain new experience and knowledge in the field of higher education. With this project the University wanted to reach the number of around 50 mobile persons, with a significant emphasis on student mobility, especially internships. With quite some effort we managed to organise 40 mobilities in total. University of Ljubljana has already signed bilateral agreements with HEI from all three donor countries, but are to procure new ones to facilitate additional mobilites and new partnerships.
Summary of bilateral results
The project will strengthen existing partnerships and thus ensure their continuation and with the planned activities of mobility will contribute to the principal goals of the mechanisms: enhancing human capital and knowledge base. We have to expose that in some cases we were quite disapointed on response of high education institutions from donor countries as in many case doors for new cooperation were closed, so some of the outcomes were not reached. We hope this obstacle could be solved in the future as there are many good ideas of cooperation still to be realised.
