1st Erasmus+ International Metallurgical Staff Week
The event occurred from September 23-27, 2024, at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, with participants from three Ukrainian universities: Dnipro University of Technology, Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, and Zaporizhzhya National University. The event opened with a welcome from Prof. Tobias Fieback and a brief history of TU Freiberg by Dr. Michael Hauser. The participants also had the chance to network over coffee with the Erasmus coordinator Anja Weigl, and tour the Institute of Iron and Steel Technology. In the remaining days, Erasmus+ funding opportunities for Ukraine were presented by Michaela Lanaro (DAAD German Academic Exchange Service), presentations from the Ukrainian universities, and a visit to the Institute of Ceramics, Refractories, and Composite Materials. The week also featured a scientific writing workshop by Matheus Roberto Bellé, and a lecture on steel industry decarbonization by Prof. Olena Volkova. The attendees experienced the local culture, including a traditional bratwurst barbecue with draught beer as well as visits to the cultural and natural landmarks of Saxony, in the Saxon Switzerland. The week was a great opportunity to network with staff members from partner universities and promote future collaborations.
