The members of the new consortium are five partner universities from the Czech Republic and Norway: the Brno University of Technology, Masaryk University, Tomas Bata University in Zlín, Universitetet i Agder and UiT Norges arktiske universitet. The consortium was established under the project "Capacity Building in Mathematics and Statistics Learning Support in Norway and the Czech Republic (MSLS Net)" supported by EEA Grants under the number EEA-CZ-ICP-3-009. The coordinator of the project, which is implemented from 1. 8. 2021 to 31. 7. 2023, is the Brno University of Technology.
The main objective of this project is to improve the cooperation between the Czech Republic and Norway in the area of learning support for mathematics and statistics in higher education institutions.
The main activities planned in the project:
The most important medium-term effect will be strengthened institutional cooperation between the universities in the Czech Republic and Norway sustained by peer learning and tutor training events where all partner institutions will be invited to participate. This will be supported by either individual Erasmus+ mobility funds or through subsequent application for an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnerships project.
In some parts of the city, it can be faster to ride a shared bike than to drive or take public transport. In Brno, these are areas like Nová Zbrojovka or Spielberg Office, where traffic is heavy and public transport accessibility is poor. Dr Ondřej Špetík from ECON MUNI talks about how Brno residents use the bike-sharing system in the following interview.
Fourteen courses at ECON MUNI will include sustainability and ecology topics starting next autumn. Marie Hladká, Vice-Dean for studies, explains what exactly the "greening" will involve and why it is an important part of university education.
