About this project

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;, sans-serif">The project aims to continue and strengthen the academic mobility network between "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iași and universities in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein in order to achieve excellence in the field of education and research, by identifying the key themes for cooperation, capitalizing on complementary competencies and offering synergies essential for the progress and mutual benefit of the universities involved.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;, sans-serif">The EEA exchanges will provide students with specialized knowledge not only in their study fields, but also on the cultures/societies of all countries involved, meaningful experience and linguistic proficiency which will be used as assets in their future jobs. The staff exchanges will lead to new curriculum design and teaching/assessment methods, as well as the implementation of good practices.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;, sans-serif">The objectives of the academic cooperation project with the three countries are: active promotion of Iasi higher education in Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, improving and increasing the chances of employability of students and graduates, integrating research elements in doctoral and master exchanges, opening and expanding the scope of cooperation of UAIC with universities in these countries.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;, sans-serif">The proposed scholarships for incoming and outgoing mobility are aimed at both students (bachelor, master and doctorate) and staff from universities (didactic and non-didactic).</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;, sans-serif">The target groups are represented, on the one hand, by the UAIC academic community (students, professors and administrative staff, as potential beneficiaries of outgoing mobilities) and, on the other, by the academic community from partner universities in the Donor States.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;, sans-serif">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 will play the role of host institutions for UAIC students and staff. </span></span></p>

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. The bilateral collaboration is planned to continue, both through the EEA Grants and through the Erasmus+ Programme.
