Description
The project allows for increased mobility in higher education between the Ignacy Łukasiewicz Rzeszów University of Technology to and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Akureyri and University of Stavanger. The project will be carried out in the scope of:
a. Student mobility:
- Outgoing mobilities of Polish students to Iceland and Norway, and incoming mobilities of students.
b. Staff mobility:
- Teaching assignment-based mobilities of academic teachers between Poland and the Iceland and Norwegian universities for a period of between one day and six weeks (a minimum of eight hours of teaching at the partner institution must be provided during one week of mobility).
- Higher education staff mobility between the Ignacy Łukasiewicz Rzeszów University of Technology and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, University of Akureyri and University of Stavanger for job shadowing, participation in seminars, training, workshops and conferences aimed at improving skills and expanding knowledge in a given field for a period of between one day and six weeks.
- Mobilities of representatives (employees) ofhe Ignacy Łukasiewicz Rzeszów University of Technology and the Norwegian and Icelandic Donor Project Partners for teaching assignments in a host institution for a period of between one day and six weeks.
The expected results from the project includes: the professional development of staff working in the field of higher education, mobility of students and university staff between Polish, Norwegian and Icelandic universities in institutional partnership to improve the quality and relevance of educational offerings in the field of higher education.
Summary of project results
Universities from Norway and Iceland with whom we cooperated in the Educational Programme are our long-term partners with whom we cooperate in the Erasmus + program and previously in the EEA nad Norway Grant. Our cooperation on the project ran smoothly and continuously. We were in constant contact with project partners (e-mail, telephone). Partners responded quickly to e-mails. It was a reliable and thorough cooperation during the preparation and implementation of the mobility. Student mobility during the COVID-19 pandemic was consulted with representatives of partner universities in order to obtain information about new regulations, rules, and restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic that were introduced there. It is worth noting that in the case of the mobility of academic staff, academics have to look for partners among the academic staff of a partner university, taking into account the specificity of their research area. Administrative matters are handled by coordinators from partner universities.
Summary of bilateral results
Student and staff mobility has resulted in wider collaboration effects in addition to student and staff exchange. Bilateral cooperation will also be continued under the Education Program (recruitment 2021). University of Stavanger: P.h.D. Eng. Marek Magdziak has been cooperating with prof. Chandima Ratnayake in the field of metrology of geometric quantities and coordinate measurement technique. After the scientist''s visit, international scientific publications on planning strategies for measuring curvilinear surfaces of aviation industry products and research projects are planned. As a result of the visit of PhD. Eng. Bartosz Piątek is a joint scientific article with prof. S.M Samindi M.K. Samarakoon from UiS and on strengthening reinforced concrete beams with CFRP tapes - will be published in the international journal "Structural Concrete". Prof. Reggie Davidrajuh is the author of the software for modeling discrete event systems using Matlab and Petri Nets for research in research centers around the world. During his visit to the PRz, he spoke about the newest possibilities of this system. The result of the visit are future joint publications with employees of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Ph.D., Eng. Tomasz Kossowski, in addition to lecturing at the UiS, started talks about joint research with prof. Davidrajuhem. Currently, three scientists are working on a publication related to the use of GPenSIM software in traffic analysis based on simulations in this environment. NTNU: Prof. Gaweł Żyła conducts a discussion with NTNU PhD student Yuanhao Chang on the use of nanoparticles to increase the efficiency of obtaining crude oil from oil fields. The scientists plan to submit a joint grant application after defending Yuanhao Chang''s doctoral dissertation (October 2022). The visit resulted in closer cooperation with scientists working under the supervision of prof. Zhiling Zhang and prof. Jianying He.
