Further cooperation within the framework of the CEEPUS program
The CEEPUS program, its tasks, and implementation possibilities have already been repeatedly described in previous messages. Over the years, the Silesian University of Technology has been involved in several projects that have been implemented within the framework of this program. The Silesian University of Technology is currently participating in the FINALIST project. Such projects receive funding for one academic year, and project participants must apply each year to continue the project in the next year. In fact, the FINALIST project has organized a network of universities (faculties) that have been working together for many years. The continuation of project financing for the 2023/24 academic year has now been signed. In the next academic year, 27 faculties from Central European countries will participate in the network described above.
The mobility of prof. Elzbieta Macioszek to the University of Novi Sad (Serbia), Faculty of Technical Sciences has already been implemented in the current academic year 05.02 - 11.02.2023. As part of this mobility, classes were held with Serbian students. Assistant dr. Wojciech Kamiński, as a young scientist, completed a one-month internship (05.03 - 08.04.2023) at the Faculty of Logistics and Crisis Management of Thomas Bata University in Zlín (Czech Republic). Return visits of foreign professors are planned at the Faculty of Transport and Aviation Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology.
Prof. A. Sładkowski, as the coordinator from the Silesian University of Technology, participated in two mobility in Hungary and Romania. In particular, his mobility in March 2023 at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Szeged was combined with the Week of the CEEPUS program organized at this university. In addition to classes with students, there were meetings with the leadership of this university, and an exchange of information with colleagues from other universities, who also took part both in the event itself and in this program. The organizers of this Week invited the meeting participants to visit the factory of Sole-Mizo ZRT, the leading dairy products processor in Hungary. The visit to this factory was interesting from the point of view of automating the processes of intra-factory transportation, warehousing, as well as logistics for the delivery of raw materials and distribution of finished products.
