Short-term joint Staff Training Events

In this event 4 teachers from UGAL joined the 8 students from UGAL (4 MSc students and 4 PhD students) in a one-week workshop on digital tools, alternatives, evaluation of the use and other problems related to higher education. This mobility intended to present to the teachers not only the problems related to the water and wastewater treatment processes and digital tools, but also to introduce other important aspects for a teacher: how to write a successful project proposal, inclusiveness and gender aspect in digitalization. Other important aspect was to offer a balance between the theoretical aspects and practical one, including visiting to the modern water and wastewater treatment plants. The mobility was implemented and finalized according to the plan.
