Long-term experience in international education cooperation

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, which was founded as an independent faculty in 1990, is developing in line with the needs of restructuring of industry in the North Moravian region in the Czech Republic. Mutual active collaboration with big industrial and power companies, as well as smaller private firms, is essential to the faculty in terms of education and also science and research. Also, the faculty enjoys long-term collaboration with Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Technical University of Opole in Poland; this collaboration intensified after accession of both countries to the EU. Collaboration developed both in the education and research areas. The result of this long-term collaboration is a project under the close-border cooperation programme INTERREG. Dialogue between representatives of the industry and universities can contribute substantially to increasing the efficiency of collaboration.
