RUSSIAThis part of the project was accomplished to 50% only, although the Technical University in Zvolen has with Russia – the North-eastern Federal University in Yakutsk long-standing contacts. The obtained grant was designated for teacher exchanges for the lecturing purposes. In June 2016, the representatives of the Faculty of Wood Sciences and Technology – Prof. Ing. Mikuláš Siklienka, CSc. and Assoc. prof. Ing. Hubert Paluš, PhD. travelled to Yakutsk to give lectures at the Department of Woodworking Technology and Wooden Constructions at this university. The lectures were focused on the theoretical knowledge from cutting, monitoring the quality of woodworking processes and wood cutting and the current state of the wood utilisation in Slovakia. Besides the professional lectures, out teachers had the possibility of participating in university and student activities taking place at the university within the national celebration SACHA. The planned mobilities of the Russian teachers were not carried out despite the fact that the topics of lectures had already been arranged and the invitation for the Russian lecturers had been sent. SERBIAThe international cooperation between the Technical University in Zvolen and the Higher Education Technical School of Professional Studies in Novi Sad in Serbia began in 2002. Since that time, the representatives of the Department of Fire Safety and Protection, Faculty of Wood Sciences and Technology, have participated in the conferences in Novi Sad and Kopaonik; and theor employees have participated in conferences in Štrbské Pleso in Slovakia. The cooperation between the two institutions was confirmed in two contracts in 2004 and 2008. The universities participated successfully in the project TEMPUS 157871-2009 Occupational Safety and Health – degree curricula and lifelong learning. Within this project, the representatives of the Higher Education Technical School of Professional Studies and of other Serbian universities visited Slovakia, and the facility Transpetrol Tupá was introduced to them as an example of a “safe enterprise”. Within the Erasmus+ KA107 mobilities programme, Ing. Eva Mračková, PhD. travelled to Novi Sad to give lectures entitled Technologies and Safety Principles and Explosion Prevention for the students of the second level of study. In exchange, the professors Branko Savič and Verica Milanko visited the Department of Fire Safety and Protection, Faculty of Wood Sciences and Technology and gave their lectures on harmonising the national legislation standards of fire protection with the EU regulations regarding the technical, technological and passive fire prevention measures. Four university teachers from the Faculty of Forestry, TUZVO – two associate professors and two assistant professors, all teaching as well as carrying out research in the fields of branch economies and management, were sent out to the University in Belgrade. Two university teachers, both in the position of junior assistant professor, from Belgrade took part in the mobility to Slovakia. In both cases, lectures in accordance with the content defined in the contracts on teacher mobilities were held. Furthermore, professional excursions and informal programme focused on presenting the cultural, social and economic characteristics of the partner countries were organised. The project resulted in extending the bilateral cooperation between the partner institutions at the level of departments and faculties. Further contributions of the project include acquiring transnational teaching experience as well as mutual dissemination of teaching experience and results of scientific and research activities that can be used to improve the teaching activities. These results are associated also with the project impact, which covers the professionalization of the teaching competences, mainly in foreign language teaching, what can be considered a long-term benefit regarding the university focus on internationalisation of teaching and scientific and research activities. UKRAINEThe content and objectives of the project emerged from the Strategic scheme of the Faculty of Wood Sciences and Technology, Technical University in Zvolen in the field of internationalisation of education, scientific research and knowledge utilisation. The Faculty of Wood Sciences and Technology has been developing the relations with partner institutions in Ukraine - Ukrainian National Forestry University in Lviv and with University of Life & Environmental Sciences of Ukraine in Kiev for a long time. This cooperation resulted in carried out mobilities of two teachers and two students of the third level. Prof. Ing. Pavlo Bekhta, DrSc. and Prof. Ing. Olena Pinchevska, DrSc. participated in one-week long lecture stay with the topics of glued wood based materials and wood seasoning, respectively. The lectures introduced the students of all degree study programmes to new views on the types, properties and utilisation of wood bas
