Project goals and objectives:

The elaborated courses correspond to labour market needs, as they will provide knowledge and skills which are required by the actual context. The knowledge of working staff will be updated and completed according to actual needs. The teachers will be trained to capable to provide this knowledge.

  • To create new practices of collaboration between universities and laboratories on the base on mutual profitability.
Activities:

The project is foreseen for 36 months. It is aimed to creation of specialized 4 courses dedicated to laboratory practice in agro-food sector:  veterinary medicine, agronomy, animal husbandry and food technologies.  One transversal course will be developed. The proposed courses will be also developed for the post-diploma training.

  • Consultations, round tables for definition of needed competences
  • Elaboration of references for the specialization “laboratory practice” with collaboration between HEIs and laboratories on the base of mutual benefit as a core condition
  • Elaboration of curricular and training plans: existing curricula will be completed by new subjects. They will be elaborated during workshops preceded by preparation work described here above and will be followed by video-conferences for curricula harmonization.
  • Pedagogic teams will be created with universities teachers and laboratory specialists.
  • Creation of didactic support: guides, manuals, films, e-learning courses. The publications will be electronic.
  • First pilot courses will start since second year of project.
  • The students mobility will be realized in 3 ways
Expected results:

– Elaborated training courses and obtained necessary competences for students and laboratory staff;

– Trained teacher’s teams;

– Pedagogical  supports;

– Created tools for cooperative teaching with the participation of universities and acting laboratories staff.
