Mobility

UKZ within its priorities has academic, administrative and students’ mobility. The UKZ’s strategy encourages mobility as a mechanism for further development of staff and students, to build their capacity, as well to obtain best practices from European universities and beyond. Also, PRO as its priorities has to increase the mobility of staff and students. This mobility includes:

– Study visits, trainings, workshops, seminars, conferences, summer schools, etc.

Within the Regulation on mobility which financially supports and promotes staff’s participation in regional and international conferences, it financially supports and promotes at the same time the publication of scientific work in journals which are indexed in the best international platforms, and which are based on AI MEST 1/2018.

As well, UKZ is part of many international projects. Staff and student’s mobility is also foreseen within international projects. These projects, in their implementation, have envisaged mobility at the partner universities, such as study visits, trainings, short-term or long-term exchanges for the purpose of study, etc.

The following table will state exactly the number of mobility, purpose, duration, and from the table can be summarized that from 2018 up to 2020 year UKZ has conducted 120 staff nobilities and 30 student nobilities. It is worth to mention here that mobility in 2020 has been severely damaged, as a consequence of the pandemic COVID 19, where many trainings, workshops, student study visits from international projects have been postponed to 2021 year.
