International Credit Mobility: cooperation between Czech Republic and Ukraine

The main objective of the project is to support the mobilities of students and teaching staff among the project‘ partners from the Czech Republic and Ukraine. The main project partners are the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague (CZU) together with the Sumy National Agrarian University (SNAU) and Sumy State University (SumDU). 

In total, there will be organized 22 mobilities. 

Mobilities:

The proposed mobility is mainly focused on the mobility of 12 students (bachelor, master or PhD students for 1 semester) from SNAU and SumDU to CZU.

Moreover, 1 PhD student from CZU to SNAU and 1 PhD student from CZU to SumDU will carry out 3month mobility.

In addition, the proposed mobility aims to 8 teachers, specifically 3 teachers (each for 10 days) from SNAU to CZU, 3 teachers (each for 10 days) from SumDU to CZU and finally 2 teachers from CZU to Ukraine (1 to SumDU and 1 to SNAU, each for 10 days). 

Students from SNAU and SumDU (12) will have the opportunity to study at the Faculty of Tropical AgriSciences (CZU) in English to gain 30 ETCS credits per semester for successfully completed selected subjects.

Background:

International mobility has become part of a strategy for the training of young professionals. Trained workers can compete better on the international labor market. This project will contribute to the improvement of existing study programs and their modernization in line with EU standards, thus increasing the quality of education at the university.

Student and employee mobility between SumDU / SNAU and the CZU is seen as a tool for strengthening existing co-operation. During the visits of experts from the CZU, the exchange of students and educators has been shown to play a key role in the development of administrative and educational processes at the university.
