Project for higher education student and staff mobility between Programme Countries and Partner Countries

Description

"The project at hand was submitted to strengthen the cooperation of the University of Applied Sciences Technikum Wien (UASTW) with four partner institutions, namely Instituto Technológico de Buenos Aires (Argentina), China Three Gorges University (China), Mongolian University of Science and Technology (Mongolia) and Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution for Higher Professional Education National Research University Higher School of Economics (Russian Federation). Based on the four main goals of UAS Technikum Wien’s internationalization strategy, which all of the four partner institutions share, the focus for this project period was set on a. developing strategic partnerships that provide sustainable future cooperation with all institutions involved, b. internationalizing all study programs and, as a first measure, to introduce English held courses for all Incoming and Outgoing students at every institution, c. developing an internationalization at home and integrate international students in the daily university life at each of the institutions and d. increasing students and staff mobility in general. Within those four goals, all partners are committed to increase quality as well as focus on measure to reach these goals. The focus topics among each cooperation vary and are outlined briefly: The cooperation with Instituto Technológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA) is based on the common topic of Computer Science. For this project period, the focus was set on software useability and user experience, exchanging inputs on eyetracking devices and laboratories of both institutions. The teaching mobility (Outgoing) under the topic ""Mobile Eye tracking for Usability Evaluation"" was then to be followed-up by an Incoming staff training, during which procedures for conducting usability tests with the equipment at hand were implemented. Incoming staff teaching focused on Semantic Web and Linked Data and also stressed the importance of an exchange in terms of fostering student mobility. Currently, eight Incoming students from Argentina are pursuing a Double Degree at UASTW.Both cooperations with China Three Gorges University (CTGU) and Mongolian University of Science and Technology (MUST) focus on sustainable building and sustainable urban development. Based on the locations involved, Incoming and Outgoing students were encouraged to develop design ideas for Yichang, Ulanbataar and Vienna, concentrating on sustainable building in coordination with local building cultures, application of resource-friendly materials and the use of de-centralized renewable energy resources. For eight students (China-Austria) and two students (Mongolia-Austria), inter-cultural issues were presented and discussed among all participants. Teacher exchange was implemented to help conduct the project ideas developed by the students. Common project ideas between the Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution for Higher Professional Education National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) and UAS Technikum Wien encompass the area of Information Systems Management & Big Data. The Double Degree between these two institutions has proven successful, also in terms of student exchange. The activities between HSE and UASTW are the strongest track with 18 students and 15 staff exchanges between both institutions. An additional goal for the current project has been the focus on the implementation of Gender & Diversity Management at HSE, which has not been handeled at the institution before. Staff mobility for teaching, besides the focus on Big Data Systems, was therefore also used for a workshop by the Gender & Diversity coordinator of UASTW to train colleagues at HSE as well as the student body in this regard.In summary, the four objectives that have been set during the project implementation have all been realized to certain degrees: as seen under section 4, all collaborations except the collaboration with ITBA have developed into strategic partnerships (focus a.) with further submissions for future funding as well as common projects in planning (see section 12). English held courses are available at every institution, as can also be seen on the basis of number of recognized credits under section 7.3 (b.). Various measures to introduce an Internationalization at home were taken, among which the planning of three international weeks during the project period, the blending of international with national students (regular English taught courses in degree programs) and Incoming teaching staff in these courses offered (c.), see also section 11. In general, student and staff mobility was clearly raised as is recognizable by the numbers mentioned above and seen in section 7. Due to the scholarships and funding provided with the project at hand, the realization of these goals has been made possible."
