Description
The planned mobility project will enable the participation of scholar researcher with international experience in educational processes. The main objective is to transfer theoretical knowledge and practical skills leading to higher education of student and staff between Iceland and Czech Republic. The main outcome of the project is the lecture course Advanced quantitative approaches in experimental biology. At first, general principles of widely used and universal methods will be described. Later, applications of the methodological approaches will be demonstrated on practical examples and case studies. The secondary objective of the mobility project will be: i) to plan and design collaborative experimental research in the field of genome stability maintenance and cancer research ii) to discuss future exchange of experts between institutions iii) to prepare strategy for application for collaborative projects iiii) to suggest effective future collaborations based on job shadowing.
Summary of project results
The project successfully supported mobility and initiate collaboration between Dr. Hofr (Masaryk University) and Dr. Sigurdsson (University of Iceland). The main project objective was focused on establishing successful partnerships between educational institutions in the Czech Republic and Iceland. The main specific goal of this mobility project was to organize the course “Advanced quantitative approaches in experimental biology”. The course was held at the University of Iceland on 8th and 9th September 2015. In the first part, general principles of advanced and universal fluorescence methods were described. In the second part, applications of the methodological approaches were demonstrated on practical examples and case studies. Lectures were accompanied by practical demonstrations. All secondary objectives have been fulfilled: planning of collaborative experiments, expertise and expert exchange, preparation of research project applications, and job shadowing.
Summary of bilateral results
