Part of the main objectives of the strategy of internationalization of UB refers to the increase in the number of active partnerships at the international level in general, with an emphasis especially on partnerships from the non-EU space, increasing the number of international mobility.
The training of university staff, students and professors in inclusive responses and strategies is necessary for the development of a student-centred university, as well as for the establishment of a positive relationship between professors and students. This is the assumption from which this project arose. This project is based on teaching activities for PhD students in the field of education that can bring new input into contemporary challenges and ongoing actions undertaken to tackle the issues of inclusivity and multiculturalism in the educational community, but also at a societal level.
While in economic history there are discussions about the short and long-term implications of the endowment with natural resources, some scholars arguing about a „curse of natural resources” and a possible development trap for societies relying too much on the exploitation of just a few minerals, recent events (especially the war launched by the Russian Federation in Ukraine) have highlighted the importance of natural resources, the need to reduce vulnerability to supply shortages and to ensure a sustainable management of critical natural resources. As the endowment in natural resources varies significantly and most societies rely for their supply on global value chains, we are convinced that the study of natural resource exploitation and management should take place in a transnational framework, which can function only with the help of academic exchanges and cooperation.
In the current European and global energy crisis and environmental problems, creating specialists in the field of renewable energy production and implementation becomes an obligation of higher education.
