International conference – “The acceleration method of development of transversal skills – results of research and analysis”
On March 13, 2018, at the Poznan University of Technology, an international conference was held under the name “The acceleration method of development of transversal skills – results of research and analysis”. The event was addressed to scientists, students, representatives of enterprises and institutions related to education and the labor market.
The conference was solemnly opened by Professor. PhD. DsC. Tomasz Łodygowski, Rector of Poznan University of Technology, who welcomed all the guests and presented a film promoting the University. Then the following spoke: Professor PhD. DsC. Magdalena Wyrwicka, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering Management and PhD. Eng. Maciej Szafrański, from the Faculty of Engineering Management. The organizers of the event warmly welcomed guests with a warm word from abroad and from Poland. They thanked all those involved in the organization of this event, persons and institutions that have taken them under the honorary patronage of: Marek Woźniak, Marshal of the Greater Poland Region, Jacek Jaśkowiak, President of the City of Poznan, Polish Academy of Sciences represented by prof. Zenon Wiśniewski – and Media Patron: Editorial Office of Greater Poland, Radio Poznan and TVP3 Poznan.
During the plenary session, PhD. Eng. Maciej Szafrański presented the Method developed in the project ATC Erasmus + – “The acceleration method of development of transversal competences in the students – practical training process”.
– The conference was very well evaluated by both foreign and polish guests and the country – says PhD. Eng. Magdalena Graczyk-Kucharska, from the Faculty of Engineering Management. The conference was attended by scientists from the USA, Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. During the sessions and workshops, among others topics, discussions took place about the results of work on the developed method of accelerating the acquisition of cross-cutting competences.
– PhD. Liisa Timonen from Karelia University of Applied Sciences in Joensuu, Finland, presented the opinion on the Method and reflections related to education, which is also the aftermath of the ECMT + project – says PhD. Eng. Marek Goliński from the Faculty of Engineering Management – It is really constructive when during the session we can together discuss, exchange information and plan our work. The best proof of the fact that the topics of the speeches and the results of the conducted research were so interesting is that further talks were already taking place in the corridors. – Conversations with our partners at transnational meetings are always fruitful and bring something new – says PhD. Eng. Maciej Szafrański from the Faculty of Engineering Management – What was nice was the keen interest in our work in the project by other scientists, not involved in the ATC / Erasmus + project – he adds.
Most of the conference participants’ speeches can be followed on Facebook Accelerate Transversal Competences, where live broadcasts were made. In addition, a video promoting the event will be released soon. It will also be possible to see the speeches from the Plenary Session and Session 1 – the information will be also posted on Facebook.
The next conference disseminating the results developed in the ATC / Erasmus + project will take place in Banská Bystrica in June.
