Sri Lanka

Collaboration with the University of Sri Jayewardenepura (USJ) has been ongoing for several years, albeit solely online. Due to the significant distance, it has not been possible to organize personal visits that would allow to elevate the collaboration to a different level, which would be possible if the project qualifies for funding. To date, there have been many online working meetings; however, both sides have plans for long-term collaboration in both educational and scientific domains. Collaboration between the Koszalin University of Technology and the University of Sri Jayewardenepura within the scientific team would enhance access to innovative research methods and techniques, resulting in diversification of available educational forms and raising the standard of education in both universities. Continuing cooperation in an international environment, gained experience, and contact with other practices promote scientific development, foster collaboration within grants, training, workshops, conferences, provide opportunities for publication in recognized scientific journals, and enable access to other forms of idea exchange initiated by partner universities. The educational profile of PK and USJ is similar, as both are primarily technical universities, which also offer courses in economics and humanities and social sciences. Continuing the exchange of scientific staff for both universities will be beneficial, as it promotes the comparison and updating of existing courses and teaching methods.
