Description

 

Through establishing a close cooperation in the field of Research and Project Management and Administration (RMA), University of Iceland (UI) and Slovak University of Technology (STU) will be able to reach excellence through the exchange know-how, expertise and best practices. To achieve the set goal they will improve internal processes and make them more sustainable and therefore greener. This exchange of knowledge will mainly happen in the form of STU employees visiting UI, where they will attend various learning activities and UI workshops at the STU as mentioned above, in the fields of project and research management, and administration. Furthermore, UI academic employees will also be encouraged to travel to STU, where an opening and final conference will be held in order to present the collaboration results. At this final stage a larger number of academic employees, teachers and students from STU and other universities will be able to attend. In this project STU will give an equal opportunity to all genders in taking part in the mobility programme. They will send invitations to participate to all employees without gender discrimination. Furthermore, if they have an increased number of applicants for the mobility programme, they will choose the most suitable candidates based on criteria that exclude gender.

Summary of project results

 

Project implementation was running according to expectations without any kinds of deviations. Communication and collaboration with partner was excellent, there are no deviations foreseen during the implementation period of the project.

 

All activities were completed successfully. The last Staff exchange (Activity 3) at UI has been successfully concluded with very interesting and useful workshops (documents: 3 cesta na Island.zip -There are all the materials regarding the last trip to Iceland). In the results of the final survey (Activity 6), we can see that the target value of 94,7% was reached by participants who declare an improvement in skills and competence (documents: Vyhodnotenie dotazníka REX RMA - Survey results, Vyhodnotenie dotazníka REX RMA - Survey results 2). We organized a very successful final conference (Activity 5) that had great feedback. The conference had a total of 134 registered participants. Project website is online and running (Activity 1 as a Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication will run until the end of the project). During the whole project, photos, articles, and information about our project activities were added. Here is the link to the website:https://rex-rma.stuba.sk/

The objective was to increase the skill level and develop professionally 20 STU employees, so that when they return, they will be able to implement the newly gained knowledge. In the results of the final survey (Activity 6), we can see that the target value of 94,7% was reached by participants who declare an improvement in skills and competence (documents: Vyhodnotenie dotazníka REX RMA - Survey results, Vyhodnotenie dotazníka REX RMA - Survey results 2).
