Implementation of the Erasmus+ mobility program

For the second year, the Zaporizhzhia National Technical University has been implementing the Erasmus+ KA1 2016-1-BE02-KA107-017264 credit mobility project, within the framework of which our graduate students and students have the opportunity to study at the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium.

During the one and a half year implementation of the program, 2 graduate students and 5 students have already completed training at the De Nair campus (article «Implementation of academic mobility of teachers and students of ZNTU», article «New opportunities for academic mobility to the Catholic University of Leuven (Belgium)»). Each experience was unique for both students and program performers.

The largest delegation from ZNTU – 3 master’s students and 1 post-graduate student – came to study in the spring semester at the De Nair Campus. The training takes place in the cities of Sint-Katalin-Waver and Mechelen. The first month of their stay on campus has already ended, and despite the fact that the semester officially began on February 13, on March 3 students must submit the first report on the completion of their master’s theses. This semester, our graduate students and students are conducting the following research:

• Robotics. Research and development, postgraduate student of the 3rd year of study O. Gladkova (Scientific supervisors from KU LEUVEN: Dr. Ing. P. Pelgrims and D. Van Merode, scientific supervisor from ZNTU Ph.D., associate professor A.V. Parkhomenko)
