Wednesday, 18 January 2017 Eight professors from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan training at UP FAMNIT
On Monday, 16 January 2016, eight professors from three Uzbekistani and one Kazakhstani universities visited UP FAMNIT, where they are attending a two weeklong training in MATLAB and COMSOL.
The atmosphere on the first day was relaxed: Guests were initially greeted at our faculty and then attended a formal welcome with the rector of the University of Primorska, Prof. Dragan Marušič, PhD, Dean of UP FAMNIT, Assoc. Prof. Klavdija Kutnar, PhD, Head of Department for Education and International Cooperation of the University of Primorska, Tatjana Mikelić Goja and the course organisers - dr. Boštjan Frelih, Iker Malaina and Aleš Oven.
Immediately the next day, our guests rolled up their sleeves and started solving problems in Matlab.
The training is organised under the project ECCUM. Together with partners from Spain (Universidad de Santiago de Compostela) and Italy (Politecnico di Torino) we are helping our colleagues from Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan develop and launch a master study programme in mathematical engineering. Curriculum and syllabuses have already been developed. In the current phase of the project, we are building the skills, which will be needed by the course providers for effective teaching. They will pass the knowledge gained at the University of Primorska to their students back home.
Training is simultaneously implemented also in Spain. Thus, partner institutions from Central Asia will be able to combine the knowledge and take the best of both institution.
Master study programme Mathematical Engineering will be implemented at the universities Urgench State University, Uzbekistan; Turin Polytechnic University, Uzbekistan; Bukhara Engineering – Technological Institute, BETI, Uzbekistan; A. Baitursynov Kostanay State University, Kazakhstan; International Information Technology University, IITU, Kazakhstan.
Project is co-financed under the programme Erasmus+ - Capacity building in higher education. It is one of the 140 projects, selected for co-financing by the European Commission in 2015. With them, the EU is emphasising its role in the higher education around the world and simultaneously helps to build modern and interesting study programmes promoting employability of young graduates from different parts of the world.
