Project description
The project promotes research-based education primarily at the Master level and supplementarily at the Bachelor and PhD levels within but not limited to the thematic area of ICT by establishing sustainable partnerships among UiA, uOttawa, and IITBBS. Through research-based education, we provide better learning opportunities to students by offering high-quality lectures, joint tutoring, as well as research training to enrich their learning experience with state-of-the-art knowledge in ICT.
To achieve this objective, the following main activities are identified:
- Exchange of Master/Bachelor and PhD students between UiA and uOttawa/IITBBS.
- Curriculum development and knowledge sharing among the involved study programs.
- Exchange of faculty members, joint workshops, and guest lectures.
- Participation of students in research projects through semester projects or thesis work
Results
From these activities, the following results are expected:
1) 18 Master/Bachelor and 6 PhD students exchanged, each for 1 semester, plus 12 staff mobilities, each for 1 week;
2) 4 jointly developed courses and 1 new Master's program at IITBBS
3) a sustainable Excellence Master's Program at UiA
4) 3 workshops and numerous guest lectures incl. online lectures
5) 8 joint publications
