- HEI staff mobility between Poland and the Donor States 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.

Summary of project results

The university applied for funding under the project to support the development of cooperation between Gdańsk University of Technology and universities from the EEA countries participating in the programme.

Gdańsk University of Technology has indeed succeeded in developing this cooperation, but by means other than those envisaged in this project.
First of all, the university joined a consortium as part of the European Universities Initiative, with NTNU as one of the partners. As part of the cooperation, mobility with this university was realised, but not of a teaching or training nature.
Mobility with the Bergen School of Architecture has also been planned, but for the academic year 2023/24, which is not covered by the funding of this project. The mobility is implemented as part of the Erasmus+ programme.

Mobility in cooperation with Iceland also took place during the project period, but with universities not covered by this agreement.
