U petak 6.2.2026. u klubu nastavnika se održala celodnevna radionica za pripremu i pisanje projekata za predstojeći Twinning poziv u organizaciji kancelarije za međunarodnu saradnju Prirodno-matematičkog fakulteta.

Dvadeset učesnika i učesnica iz istraživačkih grupa sa departmana za Geografiju, turizam i hotelijerstvo, Biologiju i ekologiju, Matematiku i informatiku, je prošlo kroz osnovne i napredne delove pripreme Twininga, njegova pravila i specifičnosti kao i osnovne gradivne jedinice – excellence, impact i implementation.

U prvom delu obuke Gordana Vlahović je predstavila ideju Twinninga i kako ga “čitati između redova”.

Profesorica Basarin je predstavila primer dobro napisane excellence sekcije i podelila preporuke za predlog projekta koji se posebno ističu. Profesorica Kerkez je u drugom delu predstavila Impact kao sekciju projekta i njegov naučni, ekonomsko/tehnološki, društveni uticaj kao i aktivnosti komunikacije, eksploatacije i diseminacije rezultata projekta. U trećem delu obuke, Profesorcia Maletić je opisala Implementaciju kroz opis radnih paketa, deliverabli i analizu rizika.

Radionica je protekla u otvorenoj i radnoj atmosferi, uz aktivno učešće svih učesnika. Konkretni primeri i jasno objašnjeni koraci u pripremi Twinning projekata pomogli da se poziv sagleda realnije i sigurnije. Kancelarija za međunarodnu saradnju PMF-a nastavlja da stoji na raspolaganju istraživačima – kako u razradi projektnih ideja, tako i u administrativnoj i organizacionoj podršci tokom pripreme projektnih prijava.
