Description
„Charles University, Faculty of Arts - Staff and Student Exchanges with EEA Partners“ is a mobility project initiated by the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, in cooperation with four donor state partners: the University of Bergen, the University of Oslo, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, and the University of Iceland. The project builds upon the previous cooperation between the Faculty of Arts and the partner institutions within the EEA Grants and Erasmus+ program. The primary goal of the project is to enrich the knowledge of students at the Faculty of Arts through mobilities to donor states, as well as to support the professional development of teachers and employees through both active and passive participation in teaching activities in the international context. The project also has the goal of strengthening bilateral relations between the Faculty of Arts and institutions in donor countries, as well as raising awareness about EEA grants.
The project includes mobilities of students and staff. Most of these mobilities are aimed at the strengthening of academic proficiency in the fields of ethnology, sociology, Latin studies, Scandinavian studies, linguistics, and psychology. The project includes semester-long study stays for students and short-term research stays for PhD candidates in pursuit of their diplomas. Teaching mobility and mobility for administrative employees working on the implementation of EEA grants are also included.
The immediate benefit of this project will be the improvement of the research and didactic capacities of all participants, resulting from their exposure to a different cultural and academic context, along with the strengthening of ties between the partner institutions. The long-term goal of the project is to achieve academic success and expand the horizons of students, thanks to ongoing cooperation between the partner institutions.
