Start date: Jun 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

During the academic year 2014/2015 Koszalin University of Technology implemented a project, which aimed to educational mobility. The project assumed student mobilities to study in partner universities, student internships to partner universities/ institutions, mobilities of employees for the purpose of teaching and training ? the students/ staff of all departments/ faculties of TU. All planned types of mobilities in the project have been implemented. People participating in academic mobility are: STUDENTS of Ist, IInd and IIIrd degrees, both women and men (including people with special needs: a person with disability and people who are in a difficult financial situation) and EMPLOYEES (women and men in various positions: scientific, teaching, administrative, with different academic degrees), the participants represent various fields of study/ variety of scientific areas and different administrative positions. What have been implemented are: 20 mobilities for studies (students of faculties/institutes: Institute of Design, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Environmental and Geodetic Science, Faculty of Electronics and Computer Science, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Economic Sciences), 5 mobilities for internships (Institute of Design, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering), 6 mobilities of teachers for the purpose of teaching (Environmental and Geodetic Science, Faculty of Humanities, Institute of Design), 8 mobilities for training purposes (Faculty of Technology and Education, Faculty of Electronics and Computer Science, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Foreign Language Centre, Institute of Design, Faculty of Humanities). The countries of exchange: Germany, Luxembourg, Norway, Turkey, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Spain, Finland, Slovakia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Portugal, Italy, Lithuania. The mobilities that took place contributed to gaining new professional and language skills, and helped to make new relations of scientific-educational nature. The experience gained by the employees contributed to the decision of trying to initiate the cooperation with countries out of European Union, preparation of the new project Erasmus+ (partner countries) and projects within other programmes under international and national funds (CEEPUS, Harmony, Opus, Visegrad Fund, Polish-Czech Executive Programme, Polish-Slovak Executive Programme, Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education), and it also resulted in joint international scientific publications. As the results of surveys show, the participation in mobility contributed not only to acquire professional and language skills ? but most participants acquired also teamwork skills, analytical skills, creative thinking and planning, and problem solving. Participants increased skills in the use of information and communication technology tools and social media. The participants learned to recognize the value of different cultures, they are aware of social and political concepts, democracy, justice, equality, they learnt about their strengths and weaknesses, they are more confident, more open to the world and international cooperation and they feel European.
