SLORD coordinates a pilot project to create an informal network of vice-rectors of Slovak universities called ProEurope.
The ProEurope network is intended for people in the position of vice-rectors working with the agenda of involvement in Horizon Europe and other European Union programmes in the field of research, development, innovation and educational activities.
The activity is initiated by the Department of International Cooperation (OMS) of CVTI SR with the support of the Ministry of Education, Research, Development and Youth of the Slovak Republic (MŠVVaM).
What do we offer?
OMS CVTI SR and MŠVVaM, through their teams, are able to select and communicate relevant and up-to-date information to the members of the network with regard to:
- developments, as well as expected future trends in EU research and education policies;
- information of a strategic nature from the European institutions and key organisations at EU level;
- the opportunities offered by Horizon Europe and related initiatives;
- important research information related to the academic sector.
Vice-rectors of Slovak universities will be able to use the network:
- get an expert overview of current events and opportunities, including specific recommendations;
- communicate and exchange information with other members of the network;
- to help the staff of the OMS CVTI SR and the MŠVVaM to better understand the needs of universities as a group and individually and thus improve the quality of its teams, including in relation to their participation in expert groups and forums.
In addition to email communication, regular short online meetings (one hour, once a month) with the added value of facilitating ad-hoc presentations or discussions with experts from both Slovak and foreign environments will be used to provide information and recommendations relevant to the academic sector.
How to apply?
Registration to the network is open continuously for vice-rectors of Slovak HEIs.
