Partner institutions were acquainted with Faculty activities and events from last year. The main theme of the programme was to intensify the interconnection of education in the individual study programmes with practice. As such, opportunities of final theses’ topics and supervision based on the needs of the individual partner institutions, the consultations of which the members will partake in, were also discussed.  Lifelong learning and online courses represented another important topic. The requirements of the institutions from the practical environment were outlined and will be taken into consideration when preparing micro-certification programmes. Furthermore, two Massive Open Online Courses designed for the public, but especially for high school students, were made available. Advancing cooperation with regional high schools represents a long-term priority of the Faculty.
