UP FAMNIT is more and more successful also in obtaining support for projects under the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. Besides mobilities, Erasmus+ supports also cooperation projects between partner institutions.
Thus, we implement mobility projects for students and staff between programme states each year. Since 2015 we are also obtaining support for mobilities with partner states. This year, we were especially successful, as we obtained almost €100,000, which will enable us to support 31 mobilities of students and staff with partner states:
Simultaneously are UP FAMNIT and UP IAM implementing 4 additional projects with partner organisations:
ECCUM – Establishment of Computing Centres and Curriculum Development in Mathematical Engineering Master Programme
We are participating as a mentor organisation and together with the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) and POLITO (Italy) we are helping five universities from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to establish a Master programme in mathematical engineering and to establish computing centres at their universities. More about the project, can be read on the project website here.
Financed centrally through the EACEA.
