The proposal of the International Cooperation Centre in the programme entitled “Support for EU-Alliances” (Wsparcie Uniwersytetów Europejskich) received funding from the National Agency for Academic Exchange in the amount of over PLN 1.1 million.

The project “Academic Partnership of Lodz University of Technology and ECIU – A New Dimension of Excellence and Collaboration” aims to increase the level of cooperation between Lodz University of Technology (TUL) and key academic partners through the implementation of joint initiatives within the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU). It envisages the implementation of 4 tasks, under which:

- at least 24 TUL academic staff and 10 PhD students will implement a research mobility to the ECIU universities,

- at least 33 students of the alliance universities and 7 students of TUL will participate in the ECIU Ambassadors Academy,

- a prestigious event – the ECIU Board will be held, which will bring together the alliance's most important decision-making bodies and thematic groups,

- extensive research will be conducted to develop guidelines, recommendations and potential strategies for creating joint forms of education and awarding joint qualifications within the ECIU. 

The project will contribute to an increase in mobility level within the consortium with the participation of TUL, and make it possible to promote the ECIU's offer more widely at TUL. Organizing the ECIU Board and the ECIU Ambassadors Academy at TUL will contribute to building a positive image and strengthening the university's position in the alliance. In the long term, the project will also contribute to the development of models for the awarding of joint qualifications within the consortium based on European guidelines and educational quality assurance standards, which is one of the strategic goals of the ECIU.

The project is implemented between 01.10.2024 and 30.09.2026.

Project value: PLN 1 137 388,58.
