Description
Our university aspires to strengthen its European statute and strives for the enhancement of its competitiveness by developing a quality-oriented organizational culture, characterized by internalization, collaboration, excellence and adaptability.
We will address these questions referring to actual inter-institutional agreements. As other present and future collaboration will take the form of an inter-institutional agreement, our interests will expand in more domains of activity.
Medicine – Hematology:
In order to provide graduates with knowledge, transversal competencies and skills considering the discrepancies between information provided in universities and the challenges of working as a doctor in a hospital, incoming and outgoing student and staff mobilities for learning and research purposes are necessary.
Medicine, Dental studies – medical ethics and integrity in academia:
Topics of integrity in research are intensified in recent years as a result of denouncing numerous fraud cases in the field of medicine and science. The public found out, for the first time in history, about the existence of fabrication of data, falsification of data and plagiarism (FFP) and the consequences they produce for the patients and community. Legal regulation were adopted in some European countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland). Norway is the first country who adopted a specific law on scientific misconduct after Jon Sudbo case, in 2005. Many important universities developed programs and curricula for teaching Ethics and Integrity topics, in order to sensitise young students and researchers to the very bad consequences of these behaviors. Our mission is to enhance research integrity as in integral dimension of quality and excellence in research ans as a core condition for credibility of and public trust in medical scientific expertise.
Summary of project results
Through this project, the Romanian university provided opportunities for students, researchers and academic staff to access knowledge, transversal competencies and skills in order to have a global and up-to-date perspective of their specific domain. Their researchers and staff members were able to take advantage of these opportunities more than our students which still encounter difficulties in achieving mobilities in the Donor States.
Most of the participants were represented by young researchers and teachers, the target group being in accordance with the established objectives. Compared with previous projects, there was a growing interest in incoming mobilities which we is based on the inter-institutional relationships developed in previous projects.
Staff mobilities were organised, both incoming and outgoing. The project put basis for further cooperation.
Our outgoing and incoming participants reported a positive impact of their mobility on the professional development. More specific, they experienced and developed new learning practices and teaching methods, they have enhanced their management skills, they have extended their professional network and built up new contacts, they reinforced the cooperation with the partner institutions, they have improved their foreign language skills, social, linguistic and cultural competences. Also, they have increased their job satisfaction and enhanced career opportunities.
Summary of bilateral results
We continue to believe that the role of the donor partners is essential in the project implementation. Without their active involvement, collaboration relationships would have been greatly impeded.The main results highlighted by the mobility participants were related to gaining sector-specific or practical skills relevant to their current job and professional development, learning from good practices abroad, experimenting and developing new learning practices and teaching methods, enhancing organizational, management and leadership skills, reinforcing and extending professional networks, building up new contacts, increasing job satisfaction and enhancing employment and career opportunities.Considering that the current project has started with two inter-institutional agreements and another one that was signed during the project implementation period, most of the mobilities have taken place under these inter-institutional agreements. Of course, specific domains of interests have become more detailed during project implementation.Most of our participant, both outgoing and incoming have shown an interest in continuing the collaboration. We hope that in the future, these relationships will develop enough to be able to facilitate student mobilities.
