Higher Education for resilient economy (HERE)
The NAWA HERE project is implemented under the NAWA Strategic Partnerships program. The aim of the project is to strengthen cooperation between Partners focused mainly on two dimensions – conducting joint research, disseminating it and implementing new standards of teaching offerings. The main thematic area, which will be manifested in all activities, is building adaptive capacity in European economies in the face of growing geopolitical challenges. These topics are complex, as they relate to the level of national institutions, industry behavior and company strategies. In addition, the defined research area is characterized by high interdisciplinarity, combining issues of economics, management, international relations, or socio-economic geography, among others. The specific objectives of the project are:
– to strengthen international scientific and publication cooperation of the staff of partner universities going beyond the horizon of the project,
– increasing the international recognition of scientists of partner universities through joint publications in renowned journals and publishing houses,
– expanding teaching offerings by offering courses/workshops aimed at university students jointly implemented by partner universities and based on the results of conducted research.
Partners in the project are: Pforzheim University, Ekonomická univerzita v Bratislave, ESIC University, Iscte Business School.
