The aim of the project is to contribute the modernization of higher education systems in Ukraine by introducing National Centre of Teaching Excellence for the promotion of European educational innovations.Specific project objectives are the following:1) to de-monopolize formal systems of university teachers’ professional development and certification in Ukraine by establishing of independent National Centre of Teaching Excellence and its 8 branches, as well as creating their network, focusing on enhancing the quality of university teaching;2) to introduce the professional university teachers’ certification programs based on European good practices and education innovations for ensuring teaching excellence;3) to develop and pilot a new teaching excellence curriculum, including courses syllabi, which are permeable with educational needs of Ukrainian academic community and resulting in professional certification of university teachers;4) to develop professional standards for university teachers and draft for regulating for teacher attestation.National Academic Council is to be formed. Benchmarking research on teaching excellence will be conducted, the report is published. Retraining of the academic and administrative staff (78) for NCTE will be conducted on special retraining program by the specialists from WrUT, UVSQ and TNU.8 NTCE branches will be established and well-equipped. Multilateral agreement will be signed.A curriculum will cover 4 modules on Innovative Teaching, Learning and Assessment, Academic Integrity for Excellent Teaching, Blended Learning Techniques for Teaching Excellence, Linking Research and Teaching in HE. Sample of courses syllabi and certification methodology will be piloted for 40 university teachers from Ukraine. MOOC in Teaching Excellence will be launched to improve dissemination effect.Proposals to legislation will be submitted to the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine to validate TE curriculum and certification.

"SMART-PL is a 3-year project, focused on introducing a model of personalised learning, based on the virtual learning environment of Intellectual Tutoring ""Learning with No Limits"". Intellectual tutoring is a set of learning tools: SMART online platform for virtual personalised learning and formative student assessment; сo-working centre with equipment for organising hybrid learning, which increases the educational process's efficiency and gives both teachers and students more opportunities. ""Learning with No Limits"" means that all students are welcomed - regardless of age, personality, socioeconomic status, or educational needs, regardless of the opportunity to be present in the audience or not.The project is divided into 7 WPs which are linked to promoting the cooperation of partners to implement the European experience of personalised learning; improving educational programs of universities; increasing transparency and comprehensibility of education and assessment for students (including the results of non-formal education), reducing students’ anxiety as for their professional expertise and forming their confidence to achieve efficient results; to improve the quality of teaching materials; to facilitate students’ mobility, including in virtual mode, on a university/country scale, inter-university/country levels); to create extra opportunities to get higher education for people with disabilities and specific academic needs through inclusive education and the implemented model of personalised learning and hybrid technologies.The fundamental principle of the project is a personalised approach aimed at forming a highly qualified competitive specialist who can conduct innovative activities and has the skills of continuous professional development.The personalised approach is characterised by innovative teaching methods, designed to encourage collaboration between students and teachers, emphasising the central role of students in controlling their learning."

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are electronic systems, components and software that are interacting with physical systems and their environment providing capabilities to sense, monitor, analyze and control devices, components and processes in various fields of application. The CPS are able to deliver cross-domain solutions with reduced time-to-market, yielding significant economic results and growth in sectors critical to Europe's economy and competitiveness and drive innovation to cope with the ‘new digital transformation’ of Europe.The project will introduce a novel curricular in practical-oriented modelling and simulation CPS for innovative physical, mathematical and engineering topics for High-Tech industries based on analysis of labour market needs, in close cooperation with the professional associations, High-Tech companies and research institutions of Belarus and Ukraine. The main results:- Developed, tested and formally approved curricula for BCs and MCs in accordance to labour market needs based on Bologna practices- Developed didactic materials (e-Books, guides for laboratory works, lecture synopsis, etc.) - Modern infrastructure with innovative ICT based teaching and learning environment for improvement qualifications and skills in the area of modelling and simulation of CPS (e-library and Shared Modelling and Simulation Platform)- Learning and teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches for use of ICT: flexible learning, blended courses, virtual and real mobility, acquisition of innovative tools - Highly qualified teaching staff, familiar with modern needs, educational technologies and targeting needs.-University - enterprise network that works beyond the projectThe long-term impact of CybPhys implies as: - Increased employability of the graduates. - The companies and research institutions in the field of CPS of Belarus and Ukraine become more competitive internationally.The curricula will be in English, Russian, Belorussian, Ukrainian.
