Description
The project of Faculty of Commercial and Busicness Sciences (FKPV) will contribute to intercultural exchange of staff with the donor partners Reykjavik University (Iceland) and University of Liechtenstein (Liechtenstein) and through that the understanding of global environment and preparation of the ground for new bilateral partnerships. During mobility the staff will get to: know new colleagues from the area; participate in expert discussions; and develop ideas for future project/research cooperation. Furthermore they will supplement their knowledge of new teaching approaches, especially regarding e-learning. The goal is also to start e-entrepreneurship incubator in which participants and professors from partners Reykjavik University and University of Liechtenstein would be included. They are very interested in active cooperation with future donor partners through participation, program development and preparation of reports for FKPV's regular international conference. The main goal is to provide students with academic multicultural learning experience in order to achieve their goals, new experiences and new knowledge.
Summary of project results
The FCBS staff mobility for training purposes at other institution project has helped to strength certain aspects of internationalisation; however it was needed to train and to improve intercultural competences of the academic staff from Faculty of Commercial and Business Sciences. Gained professional knowledge and good practice experiences from the host institutions were transferred to the learning process at home institution. Deepened cooperation might drive to joint or double degree programmes, as well as improve compatibility between study programmes at different institutions. The overall objectives of the mobilities were to strengthen the partnership with the host institutions for further mobility actions within Erasmus+ and to exchange expertise on approaches/methods of teaching and working in the international office. Experience in internationalization of management supporting activities were delivered as well as intercultural competences (tradition, culture, habits and life of the host country) were acquired. The cooperation will contribute to promotion of exchange of expertise and experience of the involved partners/participants and increase mobility between higher education institutions which is the main benefit.
Summary of bilateral results
All the partners ensure that the outcome effects will be sustained after the project. Added value to the mobility are intercultural content of the exchange and established new contacts between the staff and researches of all parties. Bilateral Agreement between our institution and University of Lichtenstein was signed. Results are shown in ideas for improvements, improved communication skills and new intercultural competencies. Dissemination had a purpose to raise awareness of internationalization. Faculty staff and students were informed and educated about the faculty organization and management, research and development systems and variety of study programmes.
