Besides the job shadowing of the Research Services Office, Project managers met with Professor Gabriele Pannocchia (Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering of the University of Pisa, Italy) to discuss the possibilities of the common proposals between all 3 partner Universities, which will be one of the results of the project FrontSeat.

The aim of these activities is to develop the capacities of STUBA administrative staff in the design and management of EU-funded projects through job shadowing, non-formal education, and the co-creation of common tools. Viltaré and Peter were the first 2 Project managers out of 6 who were performing job shadowing in UNIPI Research Services Office, we believe that it is a great start for a strong collaboration, and we are looking forward to upcoming activities. 

Thank you, the whole staff, of the UNIPI Research Services Office for a warm welcome and inspiring 3 days. 

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon under grant no. 101079342 (Fostering Opportunities Towards Slovak Excellence in Advanced Control for Smart Industries).
