Project Summary

The number of specialists in resource geology in Russia and Vietnam is decreasing, their qualifications are no longer meeting demands of the labour market, which reduces national companies’ competitiveness against international ones. As the resource exploration management methodologies and technologies are changing the education curricula needs to be updated. Education systems in Partner Countries are dependent on their government where decisions are taken slowly. The best way to tackle the education modernization there is through educators and managers of the education systems. European Universities as TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Montanuniversitaet Leoben and University of Turin, recognized for their focus on geology and resources, will help partners from Russia and Vietnam to modernize their education, update curriculum and create international Master program in Geology focussed on resources providing courses in English. The capacity of lecturers of Partner Universities will be built, the curriculum considering the interests of the target groups prepared, laboratories equipped, eLearning platform for interactivity and material accessibility created, after which the teaching will start. To engage students, attract the brain drain and raise awareness winter schools “Young Geologist” will be organized in campuses in English and in Russian or Vietnamese using traditional, video and online lecturing. Having all materials online (for Master program and for winter school) the effect is expected to propagate nationally and internationally. Program will be prepared as a Double Degree with Bologna recommendations to ensure the course compatibility with EU. This will uplift Universities to an international level assuring institution internationalization and networking, increased student and staff mobility. The successful implementation will disseminate the effects for other departments and institutions through various activities organized by educators.
