At the end of 2020, it became apparent that the Covid 19 pandemic would continue to occupy us in 2021. Among many restrictions, the usual guest lectures by our lecturers were not possible. Therefore, we prepared a series of online guest lectures for the summer semester 2021. There were 8 lectures on various topics. Almost all the universities in our network held lectures, some even several. The response from the students and staff of the partner universities was great and the dates were well attended. Stimulating professional discussions rounded off the events.

The semi-annual spring meeting of coordinators, traditionally organized in Zielona Góra, this time was held on May 18 online. During the meeting, its participants presented the current situation at their universities resulting from the restrictions caused by the pandemic and agreed on a cooperation plan for the next six months of 2021.

Projekt REMAKER was launched in december 2021

REMAKER - Retraining of Fossil Fuel Mining Area Workforce for Modern Industry (ID KA220-HED-3EF02A02) 01.11.2021 - 01.11.2024
KA220-HED - Cooperation partnerships in higher education

Taking into account the relatively low automation and robotization of the traditional fossil fuels industry, a significant retraining is necessary for the workforce in transition to modern technological industrial sectors. This has to be done, in order for the potentially available workforce to meet the needs and requirements set by the modern mechatronics oriented industry, which actively implements the Industry 4.0 ideology. To meet those requirements, the project proposes retraining courses for the soon-to-be-available workforce. The topics covered by the retraining are electrical drives, automation, robotics, power electronics, and condition monitoring of industrial systems. These separate fields are strongly interconnected and overlapping, and together with the connection point of IT technologies, they can be considered the main technological pillars of modern mechatronics oriented industry.
