Short description of project

  The University of Gävle (HiG) has a research niche in radio frequency measurement technology which is unique in Sweden and it is one among few research groups in Europe and the rest of the world, where University of Zagreb (UZ) is one of these groups. It makes its mark on the courses and study programs given at the universities. For example, the aim at HiG is to have a high amount of laboratory work in the education.  In order to achieve continuous development within this topic, international partners and  networks are essential. Our long-term goal is to establish cooperation in education with a focus on MSc and PhD level. The PhD level is to some extent already established within the on-going project “Creation of the Third Cycle Studies-Doctoral Studies in Metrology”, and our joint ambition with this project is to start up MSc-student exchange. Moreover, teacher exchange is important and will be the next step in our cooperation; at the moment joint teaching activities are active in the on-going project.  Our goals are:  - Offer students who are interested in metrology greater freedom in course selection than is possible at each univeristy separately  - Offering an international environment for both students and teachers  - Develop the skills of the teaching staff  - Subject didactic exchange  

Short description of the task performed by Croatian partner

  The critical mass in each of the universities is not enough to offer more courses in metrology at a national level. With the ability to offer courses from two universities with, to some extent, unique courses will overcome this limitation.  In order to develop the subject, outside influences are required. Moreover, a larger critical mass of teachers provides a good basis for knowledge transfer and hence development of the subject. A teacher exchange does not only provide new influences, it can be seen as a virtual increase of the teachers during the time of the exchange.  Project plan:  1. MSc student exchange. (From 2013)  a. Students from UZ start their education at HiG.  b. Students from HiG start their education at UZ. 2. Joint supervision (from 2014-15).  Master thesis project will be supervised with one supervisor from the host university and one from the home university.  3. Teacher exchange. (From 2015-16)  4. MSc projects carried out jointly at the two universities. (From 2016-17)  5. Exchange of experience and knowledge among teachers. (From 2017-18)
