Our Role in the Project
UNIKO is currently in the process of creating a more international student body, of strengthening its international character and internationalizing its learning experience. Therefore, the benchmark report will initially help UNIKO to measure its status-quo against an international standard and realize its capacity against a proper action plan. UNIKO will also address the three target groups, aiming to make them more aware of the role they have in improving the academic virtual learning performance:
- university students and graduates by providing international experience through collaborative learning with European students and boosting their interpersonal skills;
- academic teaching staff and young researchers, through academic exchange network integration direct impact on the teaching modules and collaborative research, hands-on experience on business related case studies.
