Bilateral cooperation results

During the previous EEA projects, UAIC has witnessed a great desire for students to have academic experiences in the EEA outside the EU. This desire can be illustrated by the large number of applications and mobilities in the former EEA Programmes. Donor partners are higher education institutions and private institutions (mainly hotels, where students can carry out placement mobilities) in EEA countries. Both HEIs and private institutions played the role of host institutions for UAIC students and staff. Many of the Donor partners shared their knowledge and experience regarding procedures and work methods within the project, they proposed and initiated activities within the project, they were available as experts to provide advice when needed and they facilitated contacts between different institutions, even if these institutions were not directly involved in the project. Our staff learned from the donor partners’ expertise and they improved their practices thanks to the cooperation with donor partners. For example, one of the most fruitful partnerships was with Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
