Abstract:
The lecture presents the innovative and creative approach implemented in the academic CEEPUS network BG-1103-06-2122 in order to make the network viable, especially with the COVID 19 obstacles to mobility.
The main innovations implemented in the network are:
- Event-based approach and implementation of the innovative Flexible course;
- Joint doctoral program with an innovative – network-wide joint co-tutorship and co-supervision;
- Innovative platform for e-management of the academic network IMA-NET;
- Innovative ways of cooperation with Business partners of the network.
The lecture describes these innovations, providing quantitative and qualitative measures and illustrating the implementation, probation, feedback and survey results from the IMA-NET platform. Plans for the academic year 2022/2023 will be discussed.
