Boosting the role of HEIs in the industrial transformation towards the Industry 4.0 paradigm in Georgia and Ukraine (HEIn4)

Congratulations to the Department of Management and Innovations, the staff of which formed a project proposal, with the victory in the competition of ERASMUS + projects from Odessa National Mechnikov University!

During 2020 - 2022 it is planned:

  • Acquaintance with teaching methods and training programs of the European Union in the context of Industry 4.0;
  • Development of methodological concept and content of educational programs;
  • Familiarization with the practices of building the capacity of free economic zones in the context of cooperation with industry;
  • Development of a case study;
  • Development of short-term courses for industry;
  • Development of a new discipline for master students "Business Management in Industry 4.0";
  • Creation of training laboratories "Virtual Enterprise";
  • Development of content and capacity to provide consulting services.Comprehensive industrial transformation in the frames of a process often referred to as the 4th Industrial

Revolution (or Industry 4.0) is hindered by the disproportion between availability of relevant technologies (such as automation, connectivity, robotisation, industrial internet of things and other innovations) and lack of experience in the re-setting of a business model.

Our project aims to bridge this gap by reinforcing the role of HEIs in Ukraine and Georgia in assisting the 4th Industrial Revolution through:

  • building capacities in HEIs (human resource and institutional units);
  • delivery of tailored business management courses for industrial personnel;
  • launching consultancy services for the industrial companies (large and SME);
  • setting new taught modules for Master students (Management).

In this project the EU partners provide expertise in capacity building, setting business management courses (for industrial staff and for students). This shall be done by hosting 2 training visits (academics and HEIs administrators), participation in dissemination events in Ukraine and Georgia, supervision and advice in delivery of the outcomes (Case Studies, tutorials, course content).

Ukrainian and Georgian partners will develop and launch new courses for industry and for students, set new or reconfigure existing units responsible for collaboration with enterprises, deliver Case Studies and tutorials, host dissemination events.

Project duration is 3 years - from 2020 through 2022.

Project short description: Cheaper and quicker detection of TB is possible as well as assessment of the treatment progress over the time. It could be done through measurement of small molecule biomarkers in body fluids of the patients. A network has been created between Umea University, Sweden, ONU and TB Clinics, Ukraine and University Hospital Germans Trias i Pujol, Spain that has access to a modern metabolomics facility and an extensive work experience with TB and chemical analysis of biomedical samples. We propose to collect samples from Ukrainian TB and HIV/TB patients under treatment and analyze them with several chromatographic methods in order to detect relevant biomarkers. We plan also to genotype M.tuberculosisisolates from these patients, monitor possible antibiotic resistance development and evaluate the host response. An array of these methods will help to get a detailed and dynamic clinical description of the cases and assign certain small molecules levels to respective events during treatment of TB, MDR-TB and HIV/TB co-infection.

The project's goal was to modernise regional studies at the Ukrainian partner universities, internationalise their study offer and provide support in implementing international projects.

The project achieved its main goals, which were:

  • creation of an English-language MA programme (the first corresponding to Bologna principles) on Baltic and Black Sea Region Studies at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv thereby modernising regional studies in Ukraine; overall 22 new courses were developed in the four Ukrainian universities;
  • creation of modules on regional studies at other Ukrainian universities, embedded in the international relations studies;
  • new knowledge and skills in regional studies and international relations;
  • facilitating innovative ways as well as the quality of teaching and learning at Ukrainian universities by the purchase of equipment, including smartboards, anti-plagiarism software, access to online resources, and thematic books;
  • in addition to equipment, an adequate training was provided for both teachers and students on academic writing and integrity, plagiarism, innovative teaching methods, blended courses etc.

Among other achievements:

  • the students of Ukrainian universities have received international learning experience both at a winter school in Estonia as well as in Mariupol;
  • the project has intensified other cooperation between the Ukrainian partners themselves and with the EU partners;
  • thanks to the project, decrees have been adopted at IFNUL about the international cooperation and projects; project results have been disseminated on the project webpage and Facebook page, at different conferences and meetings, as well as regional newspapers and TV. The project has contributed to the internationalisation of curricula at partner universities, more effective use of online learning methods, raised awareness of both teachers and students on plagiarism.
